Wow I'm Slacking

I suppose it's about time to post a new recipe or something.  But I'm not sure what that would be.  I haven't made anything exciting for a while.  I have made a lot of cupcakes this year.  Creme filled cupcakes at that.  It all started with my grandson's 1st birthday.  I made him a skateboard cake and lots of cupcakes because I wasn't sure how many people I was feeding.  And the skateboard cake didn't look that big to me.  To make a long story short I discovered how much I love cupcakes.  Especially filled ones.  So I have made them a few times.  Valentine's day brought some double chocolate and creme filled goodies.  They tasted like a Hostess creme filled cupcake.  Oh and I actually haven't used a cake mix for any of these either.  I must be getting old.  And today should be the day I spend with my little munchkin  but guess I won't see him until Friday.  I miss him.

Two Thousand Twelve

Damn I was born in the 50's.  Going to school in the 60's & 70's, never even imagined life in the future.  Well in 2012, just a couple days ago, my grandson turned one.  I know, he's all grown up now.  And at his young age, he has his own mind, and doesn't care what anybody tells him.  Nothing is out of his reach, he can grab things off the counter that I thought were too high for him to reach.  I have baby gates in the doorways so he doesn't venture too far from my eyesight, and the other day I caught him climbing the gate.  He is a lot like his mother.  She also was a precocious, very adventurous and a little handful when she was his age.  Some how I knew she would get one just like her.  I think that's a good thing.  Now I have to get back to cake ideas for his party on Sunday.  It's a Gramma's job.
