new collection!

so i've started a collection of the handpainted lolita martini glasses... i have been wanting to start for quite a while and tristan surprised me with 2 for christmas! even better, his mother gave me another to make it 3! i am very excited... they each come with a martini recipe painted on the bottom- they are so cool!

delicious cranberry salsa!

a woman i work with brought this for our christmas party -- it was too good to keep to myself!

cranberry salsa:

1 bag fresh cranberries
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 bunch green onion
3-4 jalepenos, seeded
juice of 1 to 2 limes

you're supposed to grate the cranberries then chop all the other ingredients in, but if you just blitz all the ingredients in the food processor it works just as well! let it sit out for a while so the flavors can steep... refrigerate leftovers. it was really good with chips & crackers, but i also tried it with celery and it was REALLY good. enjoy!

wow, i need to make a cake soon... or i may forget how!!

in the meantime, aren't my boys cute?
