Happy flip (gah, so many puns)

I finally got around to eating at Flip Happy Crepes, something I had planned on doing for a really long time, ever since I saw them throw it down with Bobby Flay. He lost. But I don't know what that means, seeing as how I'm not an avid watcher of the show.

Okay, so back to Flip Happy. I got Nutella with strawberries.. Not very exciting and I guess you could say I wasn't feeling very adventurous, but to be honest, it really hit the spot. Nutella + strawberries is an undeniably perfect combination.


Hoan got roasted chicken with.. pesto.. and other things I can vaguely recall. It looked and tasted pretty good, but it was a bit too heavy for my liking. Only because I wasn't very hungry. Otherwise, I woulda been all over dat.


Yeah so.. I haven't gone to a cupcakery in quite a while. I'm not sure why.. just lazy and busy, I guess. Am I allowed to be both? I know, I know, no excuses! But by the end of October, I'll do another! Pinky swear!

"Sprinkle," I don't like that word

Jessica, Ara, and I had been planning on throwing a "couples dinner party" for over a month or so before it actually happened. A lot of effort went into it, seeing as how we had to finalize the meal, look up/alter recipes, buy ingredients, bake a lasagna and cupcakes using one oven in the span of four hours, go back to the grocery store because HEB forgot to bag the ricotta cheese, get Ara to drive to her house because we ran out of aluminum foil, not to mention the fact that we all had to get gussied up in a hurry before the boys arrived.

It was kind of stressful. And nerve-wracking.

But fun. And all that stereotypical banter that involves undergoing tremendous amounts of stress before having a great, amazing time that made all your efforts well worth it.

No, but really.

I made vanilla cupcakes with Nutella frosting:


Jessica and Ara made the vegetable lasagna, which I couldn't find a good enough picture of.




I've really enjoyed the triple date nights we've been having. I've never had this before where I was able to find compatible couples to hang out with (and I've got two!), and I know this can't last forever, so I'm going to enjoy and milk it for as long as I can.

Mt. Bonnell

Hoan and I went to Mt. Bonnell today in the late afternoon. I was extremely disappointed by the view at first, but that's before we found the "spot." It really was beautiful up there. And I honestly don't throw that word around very often.


He's like a Toms model.



This was when he was writing our initials on one of the rocks because I told him that's what all the OTHER couples did when they visited Mt. Bonnell.


Ha, you can't even see it. And it'll probably fade away by tomorrow. How sad.



Hmm. I really like this one.



And of course, the obligatory couple picture..


..which we're so obviously not good at.

Hey hi hello!

Hoan surprised me with this book! And I love it! Flipping through the pages made me extremely happy and anxious. I'm so excited to try out some of the recipes, tricks and techniques, but that will probably have to wait until the madness of school dies down a bit. I'm going to have a busy couple of weeks.

Dawww, boyfriend.

One-year old Mama

This Saturday is Sugar Mama's birthday! I hope I can make it! I mistakenly told Hoan it was last weekend. Hmm.. maybe I did it on purpose.. subconsciously.

Nah.
