Happy Birthday, T

On Saturday I threw a little birthday soiree for T. It was a swinging success, for many reasons, but not least of which was this red velvet cake with buttercream icing and cream cheese filling from my favorite bakery, SusieCakes. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and an absolute hit. Oh, SusieCakes, you can do no wrong in my eyes.

P.S. How amazing do these turkey frosted sugar cookies look? And that pumpkin pie! Be still, my beating heart.

Squirrels love fall, too!

Have I mentioned before how I simply adore this time of year? Not sure if I have.....In any case, I'm not the only one who cherishes autumn. Squirrely here knows what I'm talking about.

Tea Slave

This is me right about now. Stuck in bed with a pernicious cold (oh, when will it end?). At least I have a boyfriend to bring me ample cups of tea.

Happy November

Can you believe it's November already? Where does the time go?  Here's to a sweet month of cozy meals and delicious moments with friends (and may they be filled with lots and lots of chocolate).
