"Baking is definitely technical. It’s not like cooking where you put a little bit of this, a little bit of that, you throw things in. You have to measure. If you miss an ingredient in a pasta sauce, you’ll be able to taste it and you’ll be able to fix it right away. If you miss baking powder in a pastry or in a bread, you’re f*cked."

A perfect description of why I find cooking more forgiving than baking

"Turns out you can't control people, or even predict them. Numbers are different. As I used to say, you can count on them."
         -Donald Morton in Mozart and the Whale. I completely agree.
Rock Band Rock Star
Friday night was Rock Band, Mario Kart, and Indiana Jones at B’s. I love hanging out at his place because it’s cozy and everyone is comfortable squishing together to get a good view of the TV. Plus, B’s group of friends is always super mellow and non-judgmental. That’s very hard to find in Orange County now a days.
LittleK was teasing me while Cody was getting his groove on and asked if I knew my husband would be so into Rock Band. I had no idea. Let me tell you, if my man didn’t have such a knack for accounting, I think he’d quit his day job to be the frontman or drummer of a Rock Band group.
B and LittleK must’ve been thoroughly exhausted the next day since we were there until 4:00 in the morning. Even B’s cat gave up around 3:00am. Rock on, Cody. Rock on.

At the top of my to do list
I gave blogging another shot because months would fly by and Cody and I would barely remember what happened outside of work. I can’t believe we’re experiencing that again a few days into our vacation! In our defense, we’ve had a super packed schedule to take advantage of our time together, but still, I definitely need to catch up on posts before these memories slip away.
