So, another reason for my slow pace of posting last week was due to my finger injury- a la Caramel Ice Cream Take 2. I know what you're thinking- my burn blister did not look so bad back in that post. However, it has taken a grisly turn haha. OK its not THAT bad, but a second degree burn it is. I will spare you the close-up photos this time, but several doctor/wound care/Walgreen's pharmacy visits later, I am on my way to recovery! Yay! Needless to say, I will not be making any more caramel anything for a long time. So sad, because I had been eying some delicious caramel icing recipes, like this one. And this one.Since my finger has been bandaged straight out and is not able to bend much due to swelling, my typing has also suffered. :( It's OK- that's what spell check is for- right?
Anywho, I figured I'd give my finger a little vacay... OK my whole body. haha :) Just kidding. We have had this trip planned for about a month.
The boyfriend and I are jetting off to sunny London for a week-long, overdue visit with his friends and family. Sorry folks, I know what you're thinking- he does not really have an accent anymore. Sad. I know. :(
Ever resourceful, I bought these awesome rubber rain/riding boots (on the right) so that I blend right in. ;) What do you think? They were a steal for $30 at Marshalls - my fav store. The peanut gallery has commented that this is not what the locals wear on a regular basis, but I've still packed them along with my raincoat!
While I'm gone, enjoy a few delicious fall treats I've had my eye on...
- Bakerella's Hi Hat Cupcakes
- Brown Eyed Baker's Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing
- Brown Eyed Baker's Pumpkin Whoopie Pie with Maple Cream Cheese Filling
- Pennies On a Platter' Pumpkin Bread French Toast
- Mangio Da Sola's Chocolate Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream
- Brown Eyed Baker's Marshmallow Crunch Brownie Bars
When I get back I promise I'll post my DELICIOUS pumpkin bread recipe too. :)
Cheerio!
