I decided to add one more favorite of mine to the giveaway... My favorite beer: Rose beer, this is a belgian white beer with raspberries that is actually coloured pink: a real girlygirl beer!

I managed to save 3 of the 6 miniature bundt cakes: I sliced of the burned bottom and coated them with the lemon glaze: delicious!! The bundt cake was still nice and moist, I will be making this one again!

At the vet's office we weighed Scott: he actually weighed about 250 grams more than at our last visit in May. However the vet agreed with us that he felt skinny and his fur was not good. Fortunately she couldn't find anything wrong during the physical examination: the heart sounded good, belly felt okay and his teeth looked great for his age. (Scott will turn 8 this December).

The vet took some blood and sent it of to be tested, I can phone them Thursday for the results. So now I just have to be patient and wait for Thursday to arrive....

TWD: Banana Bundt Cake - Fail!!

Yes, my first TWD-recipe that failed.... But I can't blame the recipe : I fell asleep on the couch while my mini bundt cakes were in the oven and woke up to a smelly kitchen..... :(
This weeks recipe was picked by Mary of The Food Librarian, I can't wait to see what she came up with for her version!!

I'm going to try and see if I can fit in making a new batch tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be in the mood. I have to take Scott, my Border Collie to the vet. Since June he has lost some weight, he's really skinny now, he's losing lots of hair his fur is thin and and dull. I just wnat to have the vet check him just to be safe....

Go check out if my fellow TWD-bakers tried harder at not burning their cakes here!

I've got Mail!!

Thursday was a beautiful day, as I saw this gorgeous rainbow on my way to work. I love rainbows and simply couldn't resist to take a picture.

Most of you know how much I love receiving postcards and parcels.
Look at what came in the mail last Thursday:

Remember me telling you about how my cat had found a new toy in the brand new PalmZester I had brought over from Canada?

Well, that same day I receive an email from Shannon, who works at Chef'n. She had read that post and generously offered to send me a new PalmZester. I even got to pick the colour: Lime, Lemon or Orange.

And that's what came in the mail last Thursday: just in time for the lemons that I have to grate for this weeks TWD (Banana Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze) and CEiMB (Carrot Cupcakes with Lemony Cream Cheese Frosting)!


Shannon even wrote me a nice note!

The folks at Chef'n even have their own blog, it features lovely recipes in which they use their products.
