Time to catch up...

It certainly feels like the end of the school year...and boy was that evident today. Lots of tests, lots of flashcard making, study guide making, and study games being played. In between that, Memorial Weekend, a wedding, and a picnic/bbq I managed to do a few things (both in the crafty and cooking department).

Recently Aaron and I disagreed on whether something would fit in the trunk of my car. He was adamant that said item would NOT fit...and I was pretty sure it would...or at least I wanted to try. With some quasi-reverse psychology I told him that if he could get the item to fit I would make him a Boston Cream Pie (one of his favorites). It fit of course...and so Boston Cream Pie it was.

Instead of making an entire cake I decided to make mini cakes. I made a yellow cake mix, custard, and a chocolate ganache...and went for it.

Here's the process pictorially...





















I also made one kick butt dinner the other night...Chiavettas Chicken Shish Kabobs...check out these beauties :O) And these were definitely NOT premade at the store, even though Wegmans does do a fine job...these were made by moi.

The wedding I spoke about earlier...well I made the gift for the happy couple.
I took a few ideas I saw floating around here in blog world and made them my own...





And up close all together...
