am going to make a pumpkin cake. well, actually, it's a chocolate cake...dressed up like a pumkin. baked in a fancy pan...you know, the kind that anglefood cakes are made in with the hole in the middle. then the fancy ridges become the pumkin ridges... and i'll get a ice cream cone to be the stem... and i'll drizzle some orange icing on it (to suggest it's a real pumpkin) and ice the stem green... and viola! birthday chocolate pumpkin cake.

i went to the store to get a few things... and spent just under $100. why do i do that??! and how does it happen. money just slips through my fingers...i'm pretty sure it goes mostly to food. i certainly bought some packaged lunches - lunch is the hardest meal for me to prep for. if i cooked more often, i don't think food would zap such a significant portion of my net income. i'll try again next week...tomorrow is another day.
