use real butter

It’s a little nerve wracking to have to bake at elevation when your experience is based solely on sea-level baking.  But…

tonight I turned this baby

into this little number

heather, babe – this one’s for you

I’m exhausted. I’ve been cooking all day. But yay for the Little Experiment!

I love the satisfying feeling of eating dinner at home. I made chili lime chicken soft tacos tonight, and although we don’t normally eat dessert:

I wanted to use up the granny smiths and blueberries I had bought. Seeing as Jeremy said he was really hungry at 1:00 after he had already eaten his lunch, I figured he could use some calories. Kaweah thought she needed calories too.

Tonight, we took a sampling of the leftover desserts to Melinda’s place and then to Squid’s house. We never spend enough time with these friends, but it’s always so enjoyable when we do. We are very sad to be leaving these people – some of our oldest friends in Pasadena (not in terms of age, but in terms of how long we have been friends). Wow, could it have been that long? I have known Melinda about as long as I’ve known Jeremy (over 12 years!) and I’ve known Squid for about 11 years. I need to set aside QT with these peeps.
