Where I don't belong...

So once again it is proven this morning that I do not belong in the kitchen.

Yes, I am a woman. Yes, I am Brians wife.

No, cooking, baking and all of that jazz is NOT in my d.n.a.

Let me begin at the beginning...

Brian and I are not much into Valentines day... Ever since we have first been together, we figured what was the point of being loving and romantic on one day if you couldn't do so on the other 364? Whats the point of spending $50 on some marked up flowers that will die in 3 days when we could go out and have a great meal and a wonderful conversation that we will remember forever? So of course this is something that I want my babies to know so I figured that for V-day we would say we love each other...and then make cupcakes.

So now back to the kitchen...

Since the cupcakes did not end up getting made yesterday, I was on a kick to get them done this a.m.

First, I used the wrong kind of oil - and now they taste like fish. Second, I didn't have almond flavoring in the cupboard, so I used vanilla - which come to find out is double strength (?) and now the frosting is enough to make anyone gag. Third, I bought what I thought were these cute little red & white sugar sprinkles just for effect and my main man points out that they are in fact PEPPERMINT sprinkles!

So now, we have wonderful valentines day cupcakes that taste like fish, vanilla and peppermint!!

Uhg!

So I give - Brian, the kitchen is all yours!
