Cupcakes for my cupcake


I've been refamiliarizing myself with cooking, since I went so long with just a couple of little hot plates, and one of the first things I baked in my dreamy blue oven were cupcakes.  I bought a carrot cake mix for Jeff's birthday a few weeks ago, in hopes that the oven would be up and running by then.  It wasn't.  But that's okay because if it had been, then these cutesy little cupcakes would have never been born.  They'd have been a plain old sheet cake because what man's man would wants cupcakes for his birthday, even if he is a sweetie?

 

I've been taking on things like oven roasted chicken as well as popping some of our home grown Dakota Black popcorn on the stove.


It's not burned, the kernels are actually black.

Cooking on the blue stove almost makes me enjoy cooking!
