Kira Disapproves

For those of you who are particularly stalker-y (or just interested), Pam has blog enteries about my Portland visit here and here and here AND here. Click the third “here” if you just want to jump right to the shower picture…

For the bulk of this blog, bear with me. This is my first time trying to incorporate Flickr pictures without them being all tiny and weird…

So, Aimi and I made these awesome Champagne-Pear cupcakes today.  We used Bosch pears (I think.Whatever ones have the kind of brown skin.) I didn’t think to take pics of the batter-making process. Baby steps. But here they are pre-frosting:

Here, with frosting:

Here again:

They were AWESOME. There is still some champagne left, and I think I may have to buy more butter and sugar (because these used almost all I had) and make them over again tomorrow for Sunday dinner, but with strawberries.

We’ll see. I have yet to do homework this weekend, or to finish my writing goals.

*Thanks to Pam for the photo tutorial!! (There, I linked to you FIVE times in this blog to thank you.)
