Even though I’ll only be in town for a short while longer, I went ahead and put up the christmas tree tonight!

I just ate probably the most interesting burger I’ve ever had or ever will have – the After School Special from Kings in Ballard. It consisted of a patty surrounded by lots of bacon on one side and peanut butter on the other. Not a new favorite, but I’m proud of myself for trying it (er, Sue basically double-dog dared me to order it and despite my protest I couldn’t chicken out).

Apologies for the delay – DeVere’s birthday was last week, and since he eats these Halls Defense Vitamin C Drops like candy, I felt it was appropriate to make him a cake in-line with that theme.  This is a lemon cake with vanilla frosting:

I got to use my cupcake display/stand for the first time today!  I made pumpkin cupcakes (the ones that look like pumpkins) and Kathy made chocolate spider cupcakes (the green ones).  Although we held an official vote at work for people’s favorite, I think it was pretty much a dead-even tie for cuteness.

Alasia was travelling around the world all month, which can mean only one thing: time for another office prank!  This one involved a quick trip to Office Depot and a huge number of Post-it squares.
