In college, I worked in the dining hall, and my one and only job one semester was to cut up the fruit for the fruit salads. I am a pro.<br /><br />Yes, I got the idea for the cake from the hundreds of people posting those cupcakes. It was a whole lot easier to put them on the cake, one for each of the birthday kids.<br /><br />I am taking full advantage of the mowing. I think Lizzi is waiting for us to move to a condo before she fulfills that promise. :)<br /><br />You do mean a bottle you refill with water, right? Not the kind which uses so much plastic?? And if you do use the plastic disposable ones, you do recycle. Right? <br /><br />Me, too!<br /><br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-78790168446834621692013-09-16T07:10:05.569-04:002013-09-16T07:10:05.569-04:00Thanks Jak.

Oh... What's this? Ever...*slips in undetected*<br /><br />Oh... What's this? Everyone is gone? That is a shame... I thought this party was just getting started. Sorry it's been so long, I kind of dropped off the running around bit of the Blogosphere, but don't worry... your threats masked in pseudo joking were noted and I plan to read every word I've missed since. I know better than to tango with the Queen of Pigwrangloria!<br /><br />The nuns... well, they scare me... hearing Reverend Mother scares me even more. I have nothing against women of the cloth, I just prefer the cloth be... you know what? Let's move ahead shall we?<br /><br />I don't cook too often, but it's great that so much can be found online in terms of recipes (heck even some of these bloggers post recipes, heck even you!) The only thing I've looked up dealing with any food was how to cut a pineapple... cause I look at those and I want to eat one so bad, but then it's like... Oh My Nuts, what the hell do I do with this?! I found out the best way to pick one from the market, and how to prep it some before slicing and dicing! Youtube and Google are kind of magical!<br /><br />I love that cake, I actually saw someone post something similar on my FB not too long ago, but I think they were cupcakes? Either way, that is awesome and of course it pleased the children! It would please just about anyone I'd think. I'm a bit jealous.<br /><br />Kind of crazy Buttercup is balls to the walls about mowing, but definitely enjoy it while it lasts. We both know Lizzi is taking her sweet ass time making a visit out to do it for ya >.<<br /><br />No automatic ice maker here, but I rarely use ice... or cups for that matter. Bottled water most of the time. Though, I'm glad my grandma has one since I use it when visiting.<br /><br />Very glad you had some quality time with friends and family! I was going to comment the other day about the changing of some pictures (Cuckoo being the main one and I thought maybe Giant? Hmm...)<br /><br />*slips ahead a week*<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a><br /><br />Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-91747571677904123722013-09-16T03:41:15.827-04:002013-09-16T03:41:15.827-04:00I am an ambassador of Pigwrangloria, and I assure ...I am an ambassador of Pigwrangloria, and I assure you Christine is pleased you appreciate this cake.
