Dinner, Dessert and the Fonz

I thought this recipe sounded a little weird combining pasta with potatoes, but it was actually quite good. Although, it's always better when you don't have to cook, and I didn't. Gord did. I love those nights. They are few and
far between, but the odd time I can convince Gord he's capable of following a recipe. And he always does a marvelous job.
I made these cupcakes as a trial. A friend is having a birthday and I'd love to make her cupcakes, but she's on a gluten free diet. So I bought a gluten free cake-mix and these Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting were born. I thought they were not bad for gluten free. I loved the cake mix because I wasn't daring enough to try adding xanthan gum and the like on my own. Especially since no one in our household is gluten free.
A few weeks ago I went to an ultrasound conference in Milwaukee with a co-worker. We had a great time and managed to make some new friends who agreed to show us around. This pic is of me, my impromptu tour guide and a beloved statue of the Fonz. What more could you want from Milwaukee?
