Great Weekend!

My weekends are always fun, but this weekend was a blast! It started out with Saturday's rafting trip! *ps I saved Hyrums life with the flop and giggle...Ill tell you later in the week* The pictures wont be ready until Friday-ish, so I cant wait!

Today we headed out to Sonic for the happy hour like always...*I partook of a raspberry lime aid, it was Divine. Then we headed out to see Julie & Julia, which was a blast. The theater was full to the brim with people over the age of 55.(Hy was slightly uncomfortable!)

I feel like I must interject a little shpeel about Julia Child and other female chefs. Julia (along with the likes of Ann Cooper) have done wonders for female chefs, myself included.My thesis paper before graduation was on "The Effect Female Chefs Have Had on My Generation".If you take a look at the positions of woman in the professional kitchen through out our entire history, you can see the magnitude of change that a few strong woman have created.

If I felt like people would actually read it, I would post it on here. But to sum it up its about 14 pages of inspirational female chefs and what they have done to take us from point A to Point Z.

Anyway! Tonight I looked through my produce cupboard and found 4 bananas that were on their last leg. So it was time to make Banana walnut cupcakes with chocolate chunks. Topped with browned butter frosting. Ignore the poor quality of photo, cell phones. *you know how it is when you are knee deep in it*

The car is going into the shop at 8 am tomorrow morning! Feels like it is about time! We are getting set up with a rental car for the next 3-5 days, and hopefully it doesn't end up being a hatchback. No offence any hatchback lovers.

I am just ready to have the car looking as brand new as when we drove off of the lot. Not like there was an insane amount of damage or anything, but knowing it is there irritates my mind! Yay insurance!

This month is going to be tricky.
