it was a peaceful weekend. lots of rain and clouds made us want to hunker down with good movies and a great baking project.
i was going to take cupcakes to the boy's class since this is his last week in preschool.
i even cracked out all the good ingredients.
no box mix, no sirree.
swan's down, real butter, buttermilk, vanilla paste, the works.
only one problem.
they flopped.
take a look at this and tell me if you can figure out the problem.
seriously. i still don't know what i did wrong.
i followed ina garten's coconut cupcake recipe to the tee.
to the tee, i tell you.
i blame the oven. it just seems to get too hot. i even reduced the heat on the second set, but to no avail.
so i bought popsicles for his send-off. ugh.
not a good way to go out.
but our culinary adventures were not a total bust.
we went to porta via for a celebratory pizza.
words cannot describe.
we also went thrifting and found this.
not exactly vintage, but we didn't already own it so had to get it.
it's a classic, for pete's sake.
oh! and i finished the book i was reading, snowflower and the secret fan. i have a feeling the movie is going to be super tragic.
did i mention the boy's going to kindergarten this week?
yeah, i think i may have brought that up a few times before.

That first day of school is a heart breaker - tears- however one does get used to it rather quickly, especially if the little one loves it.
