It's Mardi Gras!!!!

And what did I make on Fat Tuesday? I made chocolate cupcakes that look like they were for Valentines Day. The cupcakes will soon have pink icing, since I just took them out of the oven and they are still cooling, and they are already sitting in heart paper holders. I think I'm a holiday behind.

Anyways, I got to sleep in today. And would have been able to sleep a lot longer if there weren't ambulances and fire trucks blaring their sirens as they drove down my street for TWO hours. It was not pleasant. So after trying to sleep through it, I finally got out of bed around noon. And of course, the second I got my butt up the sirens stopped. How nice.

Then I tried to turn my computer on. I don't think it wanted to wake up either. After restarting it a few times and running a few scans it decided to start working again. But by that time I had to leave for class.

Class was actually fun. I like my Tuesday class, Garde Manger. We get to make all sorts of cool stuff and none of the recipes take more than an hour to make. Everything we make seems to come out delicious. Today I had the priviledge of making an antipasto platter with roasted red and green peppers, marinated mushrooms, prosciutto, salami, asiago cheese, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and crostini. It was really yummy.

I also got to try a lot of Korean dishes today, too. This was my first experience with Korean food and I was pleasantly surprised. I have no idea what I actually ate, but it was yummy.

After class I went to the library for a few hours to work on the financial statements for my group project. That gave me a headache. Finances are a pain in the butt.

Then I can home, made the cupcakes, sat down, and haven't gotten up since. I guess I'll ice the cupcakes sometime tonight, once I get back up on my feet!!!
