ABC's of me

Does anyone else remember when surveys like this were rampant on myspace and facebook? I loooved em, so when I saw this had been making the bloggy rounds on Olives 'n' Wine I mean...I had to do it!


A. Attached or Single? 
If you've read this blog and are familiar with me, you know about how very attached I am to my boy (of 4 years!) Michael. :)

B. Best Friend? 
(Other than Michael): Alex. I've known her since she was born and we lived 3 houses down from each other until I moved to NYC. She is my sister and we've been through so much together, I love this girl. For truth.

I'm in the center of the 2 photos--so the right on the first photo and on the left in the second one. The first photo is from Halloween, she was a Native American and I was a brunette Barbie-very appropriate for our personalities. Plus, how cute are we?!

C. Cake or pie? 
Generally speaking, pie. For one thing: crust. Yum. For another, I'm really picky about cake, and the cakes I tend to really like are like on the border between cake and torte lol. I don't do fruit pies, however, just sweet  ones (or pumpkin) like Oreo, peanut butter, chocolate...

...Nutella Crack Pie, etc.

25 Things About Me

One of the blogs I frequent, The Baker Chick, posted 25 things about her, and she said it's starting to circulate the blog community. Like her, I remember when that was a big thing on facebook, and I almost wrote it off. However, I think she has a point. How much do we really know about bloggers? If you're like me, you visit their blogs every day, eager to read and see if you can obtain a new recipe. And you barely know them. Seems silly. So, I'm going to join in!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink Marshmallows and Pink Lemonade)

  

 October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I've been fortunate enough, thus far, that this hasn't tainted mine or any of my loved ones' lives. However, I have had experience with other kinds of cancers, and I know how important it is to be informed and recognize all those who have suffered. On Foodbuzz I received a request from the lovely woman behind Oh Cake to read her post about her experiences (especially regarding her friend-and breast cancer survivor-Liz), and about some lovely pink marshmallows. She wants to remind everyone to see your doctor regularly, have mammograms, and remember that cancer is beatable-especially if caught early. Plus these facts:

Peanut Butter Pie for Mikey

I'm new to this food blogging community--let's face it, none of them know this little silly blog exists. But I follow my favorite blogs religiously. Yesterday nearly all of them had peanut butter pie recipes-for Mikey. Another food blogger, Jennie, had the worst tragedy I can imagine befall her. She lost her beloved husband suddenly. I can't even let myself think about what I would do if something happened to Michael, and we've just been together for 2 years, not married and with children like them. My heart is breaking for these people I don't know and I just wanted to share it with you. Apparently, Mikey loved peanut butter pie, and the only thing Jennie asks is that you make some for someone you love. So go read her story and see his favorite peanut butter pie recipe, and take a look here for the peanut butter pie recipe I recently posted (and that, coincidentally, Michael keeps begging me to make again), and go make peanut butter pie for a loved one, let them know how precious they are to you and that you can't imagine life without them. And hug them close. I know I will.
