The peanut butter cookie cake

Lovely birthday dinner

not sure if the soufflé doesn't rise as well b/c of the altitude or
not - but it was very yummy.

baking...

helping beat the whites

for cheese & mushroom soufflé

Probably this would constitute as better

What could be better

than beer and a helicopter?

White chocolate from moi

Irene found this to be amusing - she kept telling rob he couldn't take
a bite out of it w/the wrapper still on it.

SNOW

Yes,that is indeed some snow on our back door mat. Hard to get a
picture of it as it is falling. It is actually coming down quite
hard. Crazy!! It was quite warm when I went to Borders. Not sure if
Rob will be going on his birthday hike up to the summit of Mt Rose...

Sensei & Rhys

sorry sorry sorry

to my 3 (could it be that many?) readers who might be left - i'm sorry that i'm not so much with the blogging or the checking of blogs right now. my laptop needs both a new battery and a new power source...it's a bummer. on my laptop, i have all my daily blogs bookmarked and easily accessible. also there are e-mails there that i don't have on the iMac (i share it with the kiddos - the keyboard is way different than my laptop and it's getting REALLY hard to get used to). so that is my excuse.
but i DO send pictures to my blog! :) that's good, yes? OF COURSE it is!
