use real butter

hell yeah!

Thanks to all of you who wrote in to share your inspirations in the kitchen! Jeremy, dog, and I went for a hike Sunday morning to scope out some gorgeous cross country ski trails for WHEN THE SNOW GETS HERE.

a pleasant walking trail

After the hike, I closed the comments at 216 entries (anyone who commented more than once had their comments compiled into one entry). Jeremy used his trusty python random number generator to give me 5 numbers: 62 – Mollie, 71 – Wentong, 87 – Nicole, 96 – Andrea, 137 – Linh. We then set up five dog kibbles in the great room with a corresponding number while Kaweah was detained in the office. At first I was worried that she’d make a beeline for the most visually obvious but…

my worries were unfounded

**Jump for more butter**

Seeing as I will be posting my Daring Bakers Challenge in a few short hours, I’m tossing out another puppy pic (I don’t have many of Kaweah when she was a wee pup) to tide folks over – and to fulfill my NaBloWriMo obligation.
