Once our CSA gets into gear and our basil starts growing, I need to try some of these recipes from last weekend’s Wall Street Journal.
Five homemade pops that will blow your mind-and the popsicle stand (nice title, WSJ)

TO DO LIST
CR is out of town all week, so while I’ve got a bachelorette pad, I’d like to get some things done that I’ve been putting off:
- patch some pants
- scan pages re: wedding ceremonies from library book then return it
- scrub tub
- organize bookshelf
- organize sock drawer
- organize files on external harddrives
- update my Quicken
What I’ll actually probably do is:
- settle Catan
- skype w/CR
- talk to my mom on the phone
- stream Intervention and other trashy reality tv shows that CR hates
- make hamburgers every day (CR doesn’t like the smell of cooking hamburgers at home)
Either way, I’m looking forward to it.
Adding this to the queue of snacks that I need to make ASAP (right after CheezIts!):
Posting this so I remember to make them later…

Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
