surprises in the mail

seriously. best mother's day. ever.

yum, yum, yum.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart. 

Love you forever.

a welcomed surprise!

Remember this post?

We pulled out our cards tonight to play some hand and foot and found a surprise in the tin. Obviously it's been over a year since we have played hand and foot... or skip-bo for that matter.

I seeeee you...

Every once in a while, I have a craving to make something different, something good. Sometimes that craving includes something sweet.
One day I decide to make this. (Pumpkin Tiramisu)
No big deal, right?
Well... not to a normal person who lives in a normal city.

I live in R-field.
Don't get me wrong, I love R-field and think it is a fabulous place to live.
I really do love it here.

But the choice of "specialty ingredients" is pathetic.
And I am not joking.

I thought, I should be able to find everything in the recipe with a few substitutions.

 (I am REALLY good at substitution thanks to small town po-dunk)

What store does not have lady fingers?
Is it a weird "specialty ingredient"? I don't think so.
Apparently I was wrong.

We went to ALL three stores in town.

Nothing.

No big deal. Vanilla wafers did the job.

My mom and I shared the frustration one day as we were chatting. No lady fingers to be found in R-field. Annoying.

Here we are. Today.
I was shopping for some Rigatoni noodles to make this (Pasta Pie)
and lo and behold what do I find?!?!

This can't be real!
Are my eyes deceiving me?

LADY FINGERS!

(sorry for the blurry pictures, I was too excited)
Smack dab in the middle of the PASTA and SPAGHETTI SAUCE.
Perfect.
That is EXACTLY where I would look to find them.

(funny thing - I don't even like them)

Name? What's in a name?

I would really love a new title for our blog.  I know our names are just not that exciting and I have been wanting to come up with a title for about 2 years now and have been trying to think of that one for that long, with no success of course.  

So anyone have any ideas?   

It may involve a prize for the winner of the new blog name.  

We might even have a poll after we get some ideas.  Hmm...  that sounds like a good idea! 

So that's what we'll do.  You think of a new title for me, and I give you a surprise.  Deal?  Deal.

Leave your idea in the comments and next week I will compile them into a poll.  :)

(Oh yeah - and it can't involve our last name or place of residence.)
