today i am grateful for daylight savings time.

best part of the year.

cheater carrot cake

i made some carrot cake for the easter weekend (bunnies, carrots. geddit?) and cheated big time: i bought pre-cut carrots (gasp, horror!) AND used the food processor to grate them. i noticed a debate on slashfood about the pre-cut fruit & veg question. all i can say is, after breaking a paring knife on a butternut squash and then making carrot cake the easy way, i'm a converted cheater.






glad to report that the carrot cakes went down well, scary food coloring and all.





we walked around leeds a bit on saturday. or i should say, we scrambled from shop to shop, and indoor mall to covered mall, to escape the snow flurries. i'm still not sure if i have a very good idea of leeds as a city, but it was nice to get out. plenty more to explore in future trips up north!

here comes the easter bunny

personalized chocolate!

does s know me well, or what?

splish, splash

if it is going to rain, i might as well enjoy the puddles in style... looks like i will have more opportunities to wear my boots in the near future as well.
