I've got cupcakes in the oven. And kind of exploded corn starch all over myself and the kitchen.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

You live about where my dad used to ride his bike through to go fishing up at the quarries, beth. Very scenic!
I just ordered a bike computer that will tell me how "far" I've ridden when I have the bike on the trainer in the shed. Once I am confident that I can ride a sufficient distance to get somewhere and back I will have no more excuses for not biking around. Yay!
Also toe clips, which I expect will help.

Toe clips do help. But I ride with them fairly loose. I am a bit slow to get out of them when I need to get my feet down.
Did You know that the east bay regional park has taken over those lakes? You can still fish in them. And one is set aside for swimming.

Beth, I did look over at her and say, "No rest even on Mother's Day?" But her family remained cluess. She did have wine.

That's pretty sad, sj.
That's cool that those are parks.
I had toe clips before, but I lost them in one of my moves. Recently, I've really been missing them. I got a different style this time - no straps, supposed to be easier to get in and out of.

Eleven lumpy cupcakes. One exploded cupcake. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong.

My clips are more of a cage.
no tnt in cupcakes. Are they still tasty.

They're still good. Not great. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again. It's vanilla cupcakes with strawberry jam filling, and the recipe said to just put a spoonful of jam on top of each cupcake before baking, and it will sink down to the middle and the cupcake will bake up around. I was skeptical, but I've liked everything else from this cookbook, so I figured I'd give it a try. The jam sunk all the way down to the bottom, so I've got vanilla cupcakes sitting on top of strawberry goo. They're also way too sweet for my taste.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
