valentines day blunders feb. 15, 2008

So yesterday was an ok valentines day.
I woke up thinking, "I'll bake some chocolate cupcakes today"
I found a recipe on line that has no-sugar (splenda instead). So off I went baking these cupcakes. "yummy" I thought. instead of frosting I used wipped cream. "double Yummy" I thought. So, after they cool really good I put the wipped cream on them and they look so good. I just had to try one. so in popped the cupcake only to find out that it wasn't good at all. "Yuck!". The wipped cream was good but the cupcakes tasted so terrible I thought "Is this just me?" I gave one to my son who said, "That's bad!" I put the rest in the fridge and waited a while. Later I looked in the fridge and the wipped topping had desolved into a white slime looking syrup on top of chocolate cupcakes. So very sad!

I didn't cook thinking my dh would want to go out for dinner. He came home with a sweet kiss and said, "Ok, where?". I said, "Chinese". I was hoping to get some shrimp of some kind. He said, "he wanted to eat at panda express. My son's girlfriend said it wasn't fast food and the restaraunt was nice. So I agreed and when we arrived it was like eating at a dairyqueeen. small tables and well lit and noisy. But ok.. maybe the food was good. There was only some egg drop soup I could eat. everything in there was fried or too spicy and rice of course. So soup it was but they had no crunchy noodles so it was just soup. I tried some kind of wanton thing with cream chease inside. when we sat down Gary was disturbed, "ah... this didn't work out to well for you did it?" "It's fine... I have my soup" I said, not wanting to seem like I was being rude. He had a large plate of food again and he's really having a hard time dealing with my small portions it's really getting obvious now. Afterward we went to the book store and I got a new book to read.
