Bananas Foster Cupcakes

This weekend, my cousin and I made an angel food cake with bananas foster topping, and it was really very good. So it was the inspiration for these cupcakes.
Bananas Foster Cupcakes
1 white cake mix
3 ripe, squishy bananas

Follow directions on box, but replace oil with the bananas.


Caramel Buttercream Frosting
1/2 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar
4 tbs. half and half
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
3 cups confectioner's sugar

Melt butter and sugar in saucepan, bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from heat, stir in half and half and salt, let cool completely. Add to mixer, whip until smooth, add sugar one cup at a time.

You know what I think is funny?

  1. I went to the chiropractor today. And when I arrived and got out of my car, I noticed that the parking lot was a complete sheet of ice. This is funny to me because I would assume that in the winter, there is an increase in visits to the chiropractor among those that slip and fall on the ice. Irony. It's funny.
  2. Ben Affleck was at work today.
  3. Birth Mark and Big Dog's friend were walking to a conference room, and there were already people occupying this conference room. And when BD's friend told this to BM, BM replied "Can we take them?" And that was the end of the conversation.
  4. Also at the chiropractor, the receptionist gave me a can of coffee. Actually, she told me to go into her car and get the can of coffee out of the back seat.

Julie & Julia


How come I didn't notice this before? I loved this book because I love cooking and I love reading and it was both. And now it is going to be a movie, a third love. Great news. I hope they actually make the movie, and that it is true to the book.

Technologically delayed

So I think I may get an iPod. I know, significantly behind the times. I have a Sony mp3 player, but it is annoying. There is an lcd screen. But you can barely tell what is going on, and it scrolls and the screen is tiny. Also, if it is sunny outside, you can't see anything. Anyway, I am thinking of getting a Nano. When we got the new car, it didn't have a cd player, so I got one installed. And it has the auxiliary jack, and now I don't want to have to deal with cds if I don't have to. I don't know. I worry if I get the ipod, it will be one more gadget that I love but then never end up using. I don't like clutter. We'll see.

I need help

Can anyone tell my why my sidebar is now at the bottom? I cant figure it out. I have tried to mess around with the template, and can't seem to make it move back. Also, I don't think my spell check works in blogger anymore. I have been posting from word. Anyone have any thoughts?
