So, I am home. Back in Carnoustie. I got back at 6pm(ish) this evening. The travelling was good, and pretty hassle free. Although I had to walk a lot in Minneapolis and Amsterdam.

Well, I am home now. But in 39 days, Miss Sara arrives here! Woo hoo! I could not eat until she comes here and not do irreversable damage to my body - thats not a long time at all! Yo!

Weekend update.

It's been a quiet weekend here in the S-T-L. I'm a little sad to see it come to an end. I braved the malls on Friday to do a little Christmas shopping. The rest of the weekend was spent baking and hanging out close to home. Here are a few pictures that tell the story of the weekend:

Saturday morning breakfast with Molly at the City Coffehouse

The Freedom Crepe: strawberries, blueberries, and creme fraiche. Yummy!

I wait all year long for kiss cookies!

Tiny Tarts: pumpkin and pecan.

Spritz cookies are like a memory in my mouth! These were always one of my favorites when I was little because I got to decorate the cookies with red and green sprinkles.
