Baker’s Worst Nightmare

July 30, 2013 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Saturday:

Michelle and I finally got to catch up about life, work, and of course, her wedding! A possible 2015. Dress is picked though and it looks LOVELY on her. L-O-V-E-L-Y. We had a late lunch date for over two hours at:

Zoe’s Kitchen
2643 Commercial Center Blvd
Ste 300
Katy, TX 77494

Hummus with Pita Bread (Appetizer) – I wasn’t impressed with their hummus. It wasn’t grainy and perfectly smooth, but the taste wasn’t as flavorful as I’d hoped. The pita bread is pita bread. Nothing wrong there.

Grilled Vegetables (Side) – They probably made it with pats of butter on those bad boys … who knows. But whatever the case it was good. Is it worth the price for a size that small? No.

This place is like Panera Bread to me … but not as fancy. Will I come here again? Possibly. But do I love it enough to want to, probably not.

We said our goodbyes and I went home and took a glorious nap, waking up to a KitchenAid. YEP. You read that correctly. I am now an owner of a KitchenAid. Kenson and his parents got me one. I’ll let it sit in it’s box for a little bit until I can think of what to make.

We headed off to Katie’s for an early birthday celebration. A wonderful Tres Leche cake from Whole Foods filled our tummies. Super creamy frosting and moist layers of cake. Just how a tres leche should be. Too sweet for my non-sweet tooth.

Sunday:

Went shopping and lunch with Mallory and Samantha. Mallory loves anything with skulls and Samantha loves anything that is red, white, and blue.

After a few hours of fun at the mall, I went home to use my computer to find out … it’s broken. What the eff, right? This one is my NEW one too. The one I just bought in December. I figured out a way to fix it so hopefully it works. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Monday:

I made a coconut cake and a devil’s food cake for a coworker’s birthday but …

Tuesday (Today)

… upon taking it to my car, the coconut cake fell out of my hands and shattered on the floor. Worst. Day. Ever.

Baker’s worst nightmare is either the baked goods tasting bad, or dropping the baked goods. I did just that. *sigh*

Super long post but that’s what happens when your laptop fails on you.

Happy Tuesday, y’all.

One Tree Hill

In my Bucket List, you’ll notice that “own a whole set of a television show” is on there. And I’ve accomplished it. (Most likely the only one ever.) Yay! One Tree Hill … all nine seasons. I’ve been collecting this probably since Season 3 started so it’s been a while. Thank you to everyone that’s made a contribution which is pretty much Mum, brother, Tammy and myself. Whooo wee … hello OTH marathons.

Rose’s daughter, Karen, came to work with her again today. She had these gorgeous feathers. This one was my favorite. I can picture sissy gagging right now. She hates birds.

Karen’s little moose backpack she bought from Canada. She can really stuff that thing to fill up stuff she can do while her mother is busy working.

Samantha’s father and his fiancé are in town right now and invited me and Mallory to a home cooked meal. Spaghetti, cheese bread, salad, wine, and pound cake. Delicious. Thanks again Sam!

Talking to Mum about random things and watching movies from Redbox. Catch yah laters! Happy weekend, y’all!

Giving it a try. Let’s see if I like it better than Feedly.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?

One of the best snacks ever.
Salmon on a peppered water cracker.
Simple and delicious.

Royal Baby has a name! A very British name.
Welcome Prince George Alexander Louis!
Kate Middleton … how are you so flawless?

My workout bun. Who else wears it this way?
My hair’s too long for a ponytail. Not to self: CUT YOUR HAIR.
PS. Your forehead is humongous.

Found this picture.
Other than my family, beginning of college, I was surrounded by Asians.

The weekend is almost here!

Sissy’s favorite but she’s not here to enjoy them. If shipping was a little cheaper, I would ship her some … but it’s not.

So I’m sure everyone’s already heard about the Royal Baby! Yay for a new Prince! Now to wait to find out the name of the bundle of joy! Whatever they pick, it’s going to be famous for a few years to come.

Sat through a meeting today. Could not hear the presenter. I tried to pay attention but seriously, he was whispering. Instead I looked out the window and wrote a song. Yep.

Came home to these babies. What is going on?! Lobster for daysssss. Lobster baby in my tummy.

Three more days of work then it’s the weekend. It’s definitely tough coming back to work after being off for so many days.

Happy Tuesday! <3
