May has been a month non-conducive to baking. Thus, as you can see, the utter lack of updates until the corner of June is in sight.
The first week, Brad and I took a lovely trip to Madison, Wisconsin, and Chicago, Illinois. If you are so inclined, you can see the whole tour in pictures.
The second week, there was piles of procrastinated work to do and our own bed to sleep (late) in.
The third week featured our birthdays. Since the only gift I received was an expensive piece of musical equipment that I have been drooling over for years (literally), I spent more time playing with that than thinking about baking. And of course, the two (!) birthday cakes were formed by the loving labor of my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law, rather than me.
But next weekend is our “friend” birthday party (as opposed to our family one, which was tonight and featured wonderful, shoddy VHS footage of various embarrassing scenes from Brad’s childhood), for which I have already agreed to make dessert, so I will have to concoct something sweet and edible and possibly baked again very soon.
The rest of the summer promises to be full of non-baking events, but of course desserts must always be had and must often be baked. The true test of my ability to bake-and-blog will be in the fall, when I start grad school – without any alleviation of my work duties at home. Yikes.
