Happy Easter!
Recently on a shopping trip, I bought some mini Cadbury eggs. I didn’t quite understand why they were supposed to be better than all the other chocolate egg candies out there, but people assured me the Cabdury one was better. And sure enough, the solid milk chocolate is quite creamy.
Mr. P and I took a quick mini trip to Ohio. Neither of us have ever been, so it was great to experience it, even though the trip was so short. Despite the short trip, we did learn quite a few things:
We had a really busy week, so everything got a little pushed back, including my weekly recipe post. Recently, I whipped up a batch of our favorite chocolate muffins and thought I’d share them on this blog.
It took me a really long time to find the perfect chocolate muffin recipe. I wanted something moist, but still with a muffin texture rather than something like a cupcake. I wanted it to taste intensely of chocolate, but still be in the breakfast range of chocolate and sweet rather than dessert. This recipe did all that for me.
When it comes to food and other things, Mr. P is open to sharing, always saving me half of his snack or dessert. But he’s quite possessive of his personal items, like his sweater or pillow or blanket. One thing I’ve noticed since getting married is that things are conveniently “his” when he wants to be possessive, and then are “ours” when he wants a part in it. For example, if I spend too much, then it’s “our expenses” so he should have a say in it.
We usually have two blankets on our bed because he claims that I hog the blanket at night. However, last week, I found him taking a nap in the new blanket I had been using. He had discovered how soft and fluffy it was and wanted to use it too. When I pointed out that it was my blanket and he had his own, he replied that it was “our blanket” since it was from the wedding and therefore he could use it. Does your signficant other use “mine” and “ours” when it most conveniently suits them?
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I made this Baileys ice cream milkshake. Both Mr. P and I love Baileys Irish Cream, so I combined that with the love for ice cream milkshakes and came up with this St. Patrick’s Day themed drink. I probably should have added a few drops of green food coloring to make it more festive. Maybe next time.
If you’re making your own whipped cream for the milkshake, you can add a tablespoon or two of Baileys to it before whipping it, making a Baileys flavored whipped cream too.
