Petings birthday and stuff...

[kseenaa]

So today is peting73s birthday. WOHOO! Much love to the best man/lover on the planet! At least according to me! :-D

Go to his LJ and tell him happy birthday! :-D

So this week I haven't don that much, to be honest. More then keeping peting73 company here in the computer room (much World of Warcraft have been played, much slash-stories have been discussed....). He is this firm believer that you should be off work the week you have your birthday, so hence he has been home this week. :-) It has been quite nice, actually. Especially when we made a mess of the kitchen to make the cakes and cookies for his birthday party.... *grin* That sure was interesting! And I got help cleaning the apartment before people came here to, so all good!

Yesterdaypeting73 mom and aunt with family came over. My aunt called and said she and my cousin were coming over for a surprise visit as well, so yay! A lot of people here, all fun. And lots of gifts for peting73. He deserves it, says I. :-)

He got a new lens for his camera from me and my mom. He got one of those serious system cameras, so a lens isn't exactly cheap... And still I bought one of the cheaper ones! But yeah. It is much better then the one he got, and has been playing around with it like woa.... as have I. :-) Lots of fun!

Be prepared to be spammed with photos of cakes and cookies! I can't draw for shit and I am not that good at writing (although a plot bunny has moved into my head these last days.....). But if it is one thing I am good at, it is making sweets... So enjoy!

(These photos is taken both by me and peting73.)

The biggest experiment we did was to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes... I am not kidding. These are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chip cookie dough in them. As you can see here with the cupcake batter and a little piece of cookie dough in each. Ready to go in the oven.


A close up off the cupcake batter with the cookie dough in it. :-)


Me taking the cupcakes out of the oven... Can't you just smell how delicious they are? :-D peting73 plans on entering this photo in a photo-contest in one of the photo-communities he is in. The thing they had to try and photograph this month was... smell. X-D I'd say peting73 got it, wouldn't you? ;-)


Of course we weren't alone in the kitchen! X-D Oh no, our nutsy cat Verdandi joined in! She loves to be in the kitchen sink. And things get even more awesome if we turn on the tap! *laugh* So here is Verdandi drinking water right from the tap! *laugh* Silly cat...


And so the big day yesterday when everyone came over and we had our little birthday party. :-) On the blue plate is a cookie called Farmers cookies, that peting73 loves and I have to make every year on his birthday. On the high plate the Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. In front of them is the birthday cake, a cake called Princess cake after some swedish princesses called the Haga Princesses during the 1940's. These princesses are sisters to our Royal Highness the King of Sweden. :-) Anyway, they all loved this kind of cake when growing up, so it is quite popular in Sweden. On the last plate in the background is some pieces of a cinnamon roll. Lets just say it was all delicious! :-D


Some flowers peting73 got from mom. :-) Pretty, yeah?


Verdandi again shows off how crazy she is! That cats loves to crawl into things... Especially bags, whether it be hand bags or paper bags! Seeing this and having a new lens to play with, peting73 decided she was a great model to practice on! X-D Lets just say it took a few tries since she likes to crawl around in said bags... *laugh* Yeah, our cats are a just this side of nuts. ;-)

Right. :-) I hope you enjoyed that!

And I really should make an introduction post or something, since I really got a lot of new LJ-friends lately! But that'll be for another day. In the meantime, Welcome one and all! Make yourself comfortable. I am sure there is whiskey or vodka here somewhere... and the porn is not far off either... *grins* ;-)

I have to try those cookie dough cupcakes... They look absolutely wonderful. (And I can almost smell them...) But gaaah, imperial-to-metric-conversion, how I hate thee...

Also, wish Peting a very happy birthday from me!

(And your cats are crazy. But cute!)

Those cakes look lovely! Almost tempted to have a go except I've given up bothering with American recipes because it's such hassle (I don't understand what they have against kitchen scales...).
