Coming soon: New Treats!!!!!

Well, after taking quite the leave of absense from my blog and my Etsy shop, I'm ready to get back into it! My poor pup Drea has been deprived of her wonderful organic treats and now that it's summer time, I need to get back on track with baking up some goodies!!!!! What kind of treats would you like to see available at my etsy shop??? I'm always looking for inspiration and new ingredients!

Did I mention that the wind is blowing at gusts of up to 40mph right now???? Kinda creepy too. Can't sleep, it's windy, I'm waiting for the power to flicker on and off.... already lost the internet once. maybe those are signs I should go to bed! After all, if the power does go out, it won't matter since I'm off tomorrow for MLK Day. :~)

We all scream for ice cream.

Today's post is dedicated to my good friend, Ice Cream! As I stood in front of the freezer section of Safeway this evening, staring ice cream I said to myself, " There are just too many to choose from!". Do I want mint chocolate chip, or maybe rocky road, oooo this coconut pineapple kind looks good! So many yummy choices! I try to get something different everytime, so I can have the chance to enjoy a little bit of everything. But then there are those times, when I just want my standby friend Vanilla. Today I chose the creamy version of Choc Chip Cookie Dough, while my hubby chose the Black and White. He's a plain kinda guy. I on the other hand, love to find ice cream with as many different things packed into one quart as possible!


So, ..... what's your favorite ice cream flavor? what flavor do you stay away from? if you could invent your own flavor, what would it be?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's not quite 2010 here on the West Coast, but I still want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Be safe, be happy.

Rose Bowl Bound

Ohhhhh I can't wait. New Years Day is just 3 days away and that means it's only 3 short days until the Oregon Ducks take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2010 Rose Bowl!!!! Oregon fans are excited, many of them heading down to Pasedena for the action.

What are my plans?

Well, we'll hang out Duck flag outside proudly, we'll write something on the car windows and get decked out in our Duck gear. It's going to be the most exciting start to the 2010 year. Can't wait!!!!!!!

The picture below is absolutely my favorite image from 2009!!!!
