Thunder, Fridays, Coconut Cupcakes

I started my Shopaholic book on the plane and I already finished. Must get the next one...I think it's Shopaholic and A Baby?

There's a huge thunderstorm coming in and I wish I had a new book to start! After our dinner though (Me=Tofu, Him=Chicken) I baked some coconut cupcakes...which called for almond extract...which of course I didn't have once I started making them..So they pretty much taste like nothing. Wish they looked like this:


or like this one from Martha Stewart....leave it to her to one up me:


or...maybe I'll just cheat next time with the help of Barefoot Contessa

Cooking, Cooking Gone

I've been cooking alot lately probably due to my unemployment and the whole month of rain we've had (Anyone else in the south feeling my pain!?). It's had me thinking a bunch about kitchens. I have yet to decide my kitchen style, but I know when I get my own place that aspect of my home will be crucial. I just haven't decided what I'd like. But these were some fun (not all serious) ideas.
