Happy 5th anniversary to Brenden and me. What a day, I can't believe it has already been five years (mostly because that means I graduated college five years ago)! Brenden and I worked hard to make a malted nutella and cookie butter brownie layer cake to celebrate. We also treated ourselves to some fantastic cookware from Willams-Sonoma that we have been dreaming of (and some splurges that we just liked): an ice cream attachment for the kitchen aid, a wok, a candy thermometer and zester, and a set of four beautifully decorated plates (that we ate our cake off of). Then we splurged on some godiva chocolates and a night out for dinner at Ironbridge Wine Co. Everything was delicious, the company of course was wonderful, and our five year celebration was perfect.
Pretending like I'm not sick and didn't bruise something from coughing too much, by making all the sweets I can before the holiday baking season is over. Todays menu included cookie butter chocolate bark, mint chocolate bark, and chocolate dipped peanut butter shortbread cookies with a pistachio macaroon crumble. So much sugar. That plus christmas movies, some time with friends, and my comfy couch equals a pretty good day in my book, sick or not.
There may have been something called cookie butter, going into my tummy, to unwind from the day. Yummo!
