Let the baking begin!

I LOVE to cook. In particular, I love baking. Cookies, pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, brownies, etc. And I really enjoy presenting it in a decorative way and sharing it with others. I just need to make sure I hit the bike too to help offset all the sugar, butter, etc.

Today for dinner, I whipped up this FATTENING pasta dish with scallions, mushrooms, tortellini, heavy cream, butter, and shrimp. It was scrumptious.

I've baked several batches of my caramel corn snack mix for friends and family. I've got guests arriving in town tomorrow (Kelly's mom and dad), so I'll have some good taste testers.

Tell me you DIDN'T make the donuts too - you put me to shame, but I'm always so impressed by your talents!

Those are awesome donuts! I am sure they taste as good as they look. You are so creative with everything, I love it.

Food is an essential part of my life. I work-out TO eat what I want. I dread the day I actually have to work out and cut out delicious baked goods.

Yes, I did make these...however they are NOT donuts. They are BROWNIES, using my mini stoneware fluted stone (mini bundt cakes). Then I drizzled melted chocolate on, followed by Halloween sprinkles. I drizzled chocole on the pretzels too. The raggedy quilt in the background was used as a tablecloth and I made that too, by the way.

I think we should have had these for the VT conference dessert. Even though the pumpkin bars were delicious, I'm a chocolate lover at heart! Kelly....you are so talented, you leave me speechless! I want that recipe!

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
