Last week, Monday to be specific, the fall season began in the northern hemisphere. And how I envy you, denizens of the southern hemisphere! Because for you, right now, the temperature is warming up and everyone is begining to step outside after a long winter's hiberation. For me, alas, it gets colder, ahem, "chillier," everyday and the long winter is now ahead of me, not behind me. I just want to say that I hate being cold. The good news in all this tragedy is that Christmas is in three months! ;-)
But fall does provide ample opportunities to bake: my mom and dad and brother's birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, other people's birthdays, and so on. Hopefully I'll make a cheesecake sometime this week for my mom's birthday (which is tomorrow) but she says that she'd rather I clean my room as a gift to her...
In the mail a few days ago I got a little mini-magazine from Taste of Home with Halloween recipes. It was so cute: my little brother came up to me and said: you can make something for me for Halloween. So we flipped through the pictures together, picking out a chocolate cake and pumpkin cookie pops that I should make. Actually, I think that the pumpkins would be even better if they were cake balls!
So I've got a lot to look forward to baking wise this season. Hopefully I'll have time to do it all, since at the same time I'm still in school, and I have to apply for all these scholarships and colleges...
Before I forget: please go vote for your favorite basil cupcake over at No One Puts Cupcake in a Corner starting today!
