The cupcakes looked exactly like I wanted them to but they did not taste so good (too dry). I used a recipe from Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine. I have not had very good luck with recipes from that magazine. In fact, the worst thing I have ever made came out of a past issue. It was an asian steak salad and there was nothing good about it. It all went straight in the trash. I made a roast and it seems we are finally figuring out how to cook a roast the way we want it. Yay!! The secret is to get a chuck roast and cook it in an oven bag in the oven. We've cooked them many, many different ways in the crockpot and even on the stove and it never was the falling-apart-roast like we wanted. You always had to slice the meat. It wasn't perfect still but with a few adjustments, it will be. Anyhow, our dinner was very nice and the cupcakes were okay but my favorite part of the day was when Rob brought these home for me.
Wow! I was so surprised and excited when he gave me these!! He went out Saturday morning to do a few things which I thought probably included getting me a Valentine's Day card but I was totally not expecting this. They are so beautiful and smell great. Good job, honey ;o)
We watched the Daytona 500 race on Sunday which took a long time. Chunks of the asphalt on the track came up and it took a couple hours to repair that. Glad nothing like that happened 2 years ago when we were there! Rob actually picked the winner too so he was proud of himself. The winner, Jamie McMurray, was a longshot to put it nicely. In fact, I heard them say that Vegas had him down for 30:1 odds. Too bad we didn't make a trip to Vegas and place some bets- we could be rich right now! I planned on making lettuce wraps and buffalo wings to snack on while watching the race but it didn't happen. It was a nice relaxing day and I had a good time all weekend with my two sweethearts.
