More cakes! Cherry, chocolate and coconut dacquoise and praline mousse. Not too shabby, eh?

I'm sorry I've been neglecting foto. This week has been crazy. Super hunger brunch today, inventory, pig dinner wednesday and Valentine's Day on the horizon. I know I keep saying I'm going to work less, but I really am...soon. The top foto is Rachel, my right-hand girl. Can't you see why I love her? And the bottom is Chris, our other downstairs partner-in-crime (who really shouldn't be drinking in his third trimester). He's really grown on me. The 3 of us are turning into the early morning dream team.

So there were all these notes and drawings in the snowbanks on my way home tonight so I decided to write my own. I miss you more and more each day.

Mighty Max! He already fits into his Stanford tee. Growing way too fast...

Not a great picture, but this was the one Ben sent to me and Molly to show off his new gifts from Christmas. What a goober.

Saw this magazine and it reminded me of that conversation we had a while back. Thanks a lot Facebook.

Pigs feet! I don't really have anything to say about this; I just thought it was a pretty cool picture.

My cakes!!! Chocolate with espresso buttercream and lemon chiffon with lemon curd and burnt caramel buttercream. Mmmm mmmm mmmm.

I forgot to post the pictures I took when I was in the Philly airport over Xmas. Reeeeeally good soft pretzel to pass the time during my layover, and of course, a Rocky poster para ti.

This is the full picture of my new profile. Molly and I were going to sneak up on my mom and dad and wake them up (this is the story they told us, but somehow I think they were already awake if someone was snapping the picture).

Just got back from dinner at Oleana with Kamil. Brasil 2014 was discussed...

Check out the gift tags my mom found for me. They're SO pretty. Very girly, but very cute. And of course super appropriate for the pastry chef.

Happy Birthday to me!!! I'm going to save it in my closet until March :)

Nadja's package! So adorable, I love her.

Pretty new sculpture right outside of MIT. You're going to be surprised by how much has changed. And probably more by how much has stayed exactly the same.

Got my new license in the mail! And I had 3 whole days to spare before the other one expired :) The new ones are flimsy as hell. Cheapskates.

Blood sausage the boys made at work today. We also got in two massive Berkshire pigs! Guess a LOT more sausage will be made...

SNOW DAY!!! Best day ever. Time to curl even deeper under the covers. Tell Alex I just finished the first disc of Bored to Death and I'm hooked.

These were the tshirts chef made for us: "Craigie on Main - stuffing meat into all kinds of places it doesn't belong since 2008." I kind of love them. Too bad the smallest size he ordered was L.

Boo...Eagles lost. Yay...I bought my ticket!!! I get in early early Monday morning, March 21st and am there for TEN WHOLE DAYS. The countdown begins....

Hey robot. Did he make it there ok? Let me know if those dates are ok; I want to buy my ticket soon!

Do you know Kleifgen moved away? And Bergin isn't drinking anymore? What is the world coming to??

Sorry for the missing days. I'm at home sick today b/c I spent all night and morning puking my guts up with the flu. I'm the 3rd person in the kitchen to get it, hope no one else does cuz it SUCKS. Guess my new years resolutions of gaining weight and staying healthier are going down the crapper. Literally.

I'm starting to get jealous of how much fun you guys are going to have together. Only 3 more days - are you so so excited?? I talked to Tony again today about taking some time off in March, so I'm going to start looking for tickets...yay!

My new baby! I absolutely love it, but mostly because it lets me see your face. BTW it's Ashley's birthday today - don't forget!

You're right. Not long now. Happy RRR. Most important one of the year.

Saw these in the store and thought of you (of course). Tonight was tough not having you here. I'm starting to miss you a lot. Hope you had a happy new year. Love love love all year round. xx
