you simply must check out the
abc cupcakes by alicia of
the red deer. she's going through the alphabet and making cupcakes featuring ingredients of each letter, one batch per week. get in on the weekly vote to help select which ingredient to feature, and touch back in every monday to see the result and the recipe with step-by-step instructions. seriously delicious and mouthwatering. i love that she picks unusual feature ingredients, things like guinness, irish whiskey and nougat.
my favourite so far? i love lemon, and these look like
the best lemon cupcakes i've ever seen. now that it's getting cooler i'm going to have to find some folks to feed (so i don't eat them all myself) and get cracking.
truth be told, i didn't like peanut butter until i was halfway through my twenties. my mom would buy the (excellent) natural peanut butter and i was a wee bit difficult in balking at the easiest lunch around. but now i do love a good pb&j sandwich, and i am crazy for anything spicy and thai with peanut flavour. so this satay-spiced grilled peanut butter sandwich over at craft is driving me crazy - and haven't eaten lunch yet. i wish i had some bean sprouts on hand - i have everything else. must try this post-haste.
