Happy Recent Memory

Well I know this is a week old, but ehh. Last week I was awakened by a call to my cell.
(grumble, its 7 am on Sunday)
Hi Tio! Happy Father's Day!
Ummmm, I'm not a daddy. =(
I know but you're my goddaddy so, Happy Father's Day!

=).......

Yeah its the little things in life that make my world go round.

Ty Moni.


Wishing you all the best.

Ultimate Quote From a Song

Yes, a quote and not a lyric. Lol!

" You are an island in a sea of diarrhea!"


Jason Mraz

Yeah, the first time you hear it, you pause and ask yourself if you just heard that correctly, well I did.

Have a great day folks!

The Hammer Falls

Well my co-worker came by again today and told me the full diagnosis from her doctor. She has 2 tumors in her head/brain. =( One on each side of her head, on or near the temporal lobs. I feel for her and my thoughts will be with her.

Got a text from my long lost nephew, he has moved back. Didn't mention that when he started playing the game again last night. Don't have desire to deal with his bs atm, need my energy so that I can keep focused on my goals.

Later folks.
Wishing you all the best that life has to offer!

Lots going on

I have a co-worker, wont say friend cause I hardly know the lady other then we work on the same team, have so for the last 18 months. But when I started taking in the samples to work, so that I could work on my recipes, she came around. (free food and all =P ) But she was getting very upset that she couldn't taste my desserts. Especially after everyone around her kept talking about how good they were. After some convincing, she went to see her doctor. He thought it could be a sinus infection, but set her up for ct scan.

A month later, she finally found something out. =( It was not a simple sinus infection. Turns out they found a spot, growth,( not sure what to call it, she just said "something") pressing up on the left side of her brain. That is what is affecting her sense of smell and taste. Since she is a transfer from Ohio, I am thinking she has no relatives near by. She never mentioned anyone in our conversations. I feel sorry for her in the fact that she thought it would simple to taste again, now she needs more tests just to find out what "it" is. =(

On a brighter note, nieces, all 4 of them are helping me bake this weekend. =)
Oh, and I received a video through an email today, not certain who sent it but recognize the subject in the vid. Great close up work! I'll have to reply with a thank you!

Latest Weapons of Mass Taste Enjoyment

Ok, figured not everyone would be into buying just 12" cookies. They would have to spend to much money to taste all the unique flavors I offer. So I went out and purchased 4 different sized ice cream scoops to assist in my endevor.

First I got the 4 different sizes so that I can see what size cookies I'll be getting. Second, so that I can see the baking time needed for each individual size. Last but not least, to get to sample these fine desserts to make sure they keep the proper flavor and texture as my larger creations.

In short I need to create smaller but still moiste cookies to sell in mass quantities.
^.^

Hope to post some pics up after I get some baked. Offer still stands to my readers, I will gladly send you some to sample if you would be willing to send back an email testimonial on your honest opinion of the cookies.

Taters!

The Dreaded Tomorrow (that has thankfully passed)

Well, the day is not fully over but the part I was dreading is over. It also got me out of work after only 1 hour. Would have rather stayed at work 12 hours rather then have to go do what had to be done today. =P

Well, anyway, its over! The Doc says all is ok, and he does not need to see me for a full year.

WooHoo!!!!!!!!! But damn that was a painfull 5 minutes!

Aloha!

Dreading Tomorrow

Yeah go figure, me dreading a Friday. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow at 9:40. Usually I'd be happy because I get out of work after only being there less then two hours and the rest of the day is mine to enjoy. There will be no enjoyment tomorrow, none what so ever!

The Perfect Weekend

Well this weekend was absolutely amazing! It was hot on Saturday, perfect for swimming or hitting a movie and enjoying the a/c. Today was not as hot, warm sun with a very cool breeze kicking, perfect for hiking!

So yes, Saturday I went on a 3 mile hike after playing WoW in the am. Then today after sleeping in and playing WoW, I went swimming. Yeah I know, messed up thought process. But I enjoyed a lovely warm hike without any other hikers or their noisy kids. As for the pool, the water was cold but the company was very warm, so yeah, a perfect weekend!

Memorial Day Creations. Yup, the "Orgasmic" ones. ~.^

Ok I tried a new cheesecake recipe, that even though it does take at least 4 hours to make properly, is definitely worth the effort. The top you see here is the Strawberry & New York Style cheesecake pan. But instead of going with the nut crust in the recipe, I used my Pecan Cookie as the crust.

The bottom pic is the Raspberry (left side) & Blueberry Cheesecake of course on my Pecan Cookie crust. Doubtful the ones I sell will be so overloaded with fruit, the cost would be to much. =(

Hoping to get my website up soon so I can start taking cookie orders. =)

Oh Yeah!

Lot of weird shit going on as of late. My niece Monica, the one helping me on my project, was over 2 weekends ago and to me looked fine. But I guess that's because she wasn't over long enough to eat. Turns out her gallbladder wasn't working anymore and every time she ate it caused major pain. Poor kid is barely a junior in HS and had to have it removed last weekend.

A co-worker that didn't talk to me the first 3 years I was on my current shift/team all of a sudden sends the best email testimonial about the desserts he has sampled. Funny how some sweets turned this individual from a hater to my biggest fan, willing to help me sell my goods at sporting events or county fairs and such to get my name out there.

Oh yeah, after reading his email I remembered that I didn't post the 3 lil words I've been dieing to hear. Well not just me, but any chef or wanna-be-chef, lol. I was thrown for a loop when I heard them, a female that does not work in my area just happened by as someone was eating some of my cheesecake. She then inquired of where she may get some, came over and asked for a slice. I gave her a slice of the raspberry 1. "That was orgasmic!" Her exact words after sampling my cheesecake, made me feel I was worth my weight in salt, or in my case since I make sweets, sugar.

Ltr all.

Sign I am baking to F******* much, and the 3 words I've been dieing to hear!

Well, its obvious I need to take a step away from the kitchen, for at least 2 full weekends.
The new cheesecake recipe is not one for those in a hurry. Hell its so in depth on the instructions I compared making this recipe to dating a high maintenance female. There are so many steps that must be followed to get this cheesecake done right. Just as there are alot of dating rituals that must be followed to a "T" with a HM female.

I was explaining this to a friend at work today as they were sampling some of the New York style and some of the strawberry cheesecake I took in today. My friend had a good laugh then gave me a suggestion for a name for my cheesecakes, doubtful I'll use it though. "The High Maintenance Chic Cheesecake!" ROFLMAO!!!!!

Ummm, no! But the funny thing is, it was a female friend that came up with this name, not a guy. Hell the guys just asked if it was worth the effort. Then they tasted it and complimented my baking skills.

Go figure, I can do something right, score 1 for me. Maybe I will be able to make a go of my dream. Well, this dream at least. Thank you all who openly or even secretly may have been rooting for me, since I know there has been 0 support here.
