today i spent the afternoon baking--keith and kate are having folks over tongiht, which was the perfect chance to test two new recipes. the hummingbird cupcakes are courtesy chockylit, and the gingerbread cakes (waaaay in the background) are an adaptation of tis recipe over at 101cookbooks (i didn't have the correctly sized cake pan, hence the teeny cakes, which will be perfect for single servings with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream!).
have i mentioned lately that i love my kitchenaid stand mixer?
Unrelated to this post, but thought you'd be interested...

and the OC Library in Hillsborough has that Norton anthology of Children's lit you mentioned earlier. It caught my eye on the new books shelf having just read your entry on it.
