Recently Germany realized that it was missing out on having Erica around so they stole her from me. She has landed and I expect the Euro debt crisis to be solved within the week. A smart girl, that one. To say goodbye, our families had a German themed dinner and I provided the German Chocolate Cake. It was...delicious, if I do say so myself. Betty Crocker, you have never let me down.
Lucky for me, Colleen came down for a visit the day before Erica left so I wasn't a complete mess. Mom had a bunch of berries and a great idea to make a pie but when Colleen overheard her plans to use a frozen crust, Colleen offered to make one herself. And did she ever! Blue, black and marionberries in Colleen's famous pie crust was a beautiful reunion indeed. I cannot wait to be roomies again. CAN'T. WAIT.
What beauties!
To conclude, I love Oregon, my family, having a kitchen and the delights of being home. Look forward to more updates about cool stuff, mostly food, probably. Not too many updates though, I have to have a little mystery to myself, right? So here's to blogging in moderation!
