i would go for the big daddy kitchen aid but let's be honest my mother is too cheap for that. and i have very little storage. but seriously tonight i had a wild hair to make homemade green cupcakes from scratch and ai yi yi i have a clear understanding why betty crocker mixes have become the staple of all american households...you add some milk, an egg and maybe some oil and you're done. you take the homemade route and your sifting things, and adding and mixing, pouring and adding and mixing... all the while trying to hold a hand held mixer and getting covered in white powder. i can just see it one day while trying to be domestic my bowl is going to fly across the room because i'm pouring and mixing and well, it's going to be ugly.
and honestly the cupcakes are just all right...my guess is betty's would have been just as appreciated by my co-workers.
so i'm sort of depressed tonight. i really am enjoying my job but i think i'm lonely there. i don't really have any friends and i'm not sure i've really been making an effort. which is odd because i'm a pretty social being and generally i'm all over making new friends but i figure i'm a little gun shy after starting about five new jobs in a pretty short period of time...so i'm trying to be nice and encouraging to myself to get out there and make some friends. or at least bribe them with my sub-par green cupcakes.
this weekend was ok. the wedding was friday and it was a complete bore and slightly annoying for various reasons. while getting ready, i was honestly trying to figure out how i could slip some liquor in for the reception. i know i've joked about taking a flask to work on occasion but that's always been somewhat in jest...but friends i was serious about this wedding. i think i'm going flask shopping for future occasions like this.
in other news this weekend - saw the movie penelope. e got some sort of food poisoning/stomach bug. i went to steve and barry's for some bitten shopping...everything is $8.98 right now. took a few walks. went to the farmer's market. it was a good one.
must wrap up my cupcake making now.
happy monday. here's a pinch for you.

You made them cupcakes?! If we worked together I would appreciate any cupcake you brought and I would be your friend just because you brought cupcakes.
