after christmas sugar rush
way...tooo...much....suuuugaaaar...
Between the Williams & Sonoma candies my PR agency got me, party foods, christmas cocktails, the treats at my mother-in-laws and eating out all the time, I have been often teetering on the edge of a sugar coma. I didn't help myself much when I made this delectable treat for Christmas Eve--a modified version of the Everyday Food Buche de Noel (the online version didn't have the frosting recipes included so I came up with my own).
The little brown thing in the front in the above picture is a cocoa covered marzipan mouse. The mushrooms are all made from marzipan.
The pictures really don't do it justice. It looks sort of strange in the latter picture, I am thinking. but OMG this was such an awesome cake. I have a feeling I'll be making it every year moving forward. Super light and very tasty.
Been thinking hard about my 2008 goals...not resolutions, goals. Three categories..writing, health and family/friends. Have my trusty new moleskine 2008 daily planner to record progress on my key goals in those areas. I'm geared up and determined to make 2008 be an extremely productive year. Really. Yes, Really.

My first one is no soda pop. Diet or otherwise. Just Water. I don't have a huge soda issue, I just think it's a waste of money and plastic or otherwise.
I'm canceling my cable tv and gym membership...too.
I want to become more introverted too. Lol.
Happy New Year
