Mmmm

Bill left for Alaska again this morning. He’ll be up working for the next 2 1/2 weeks, so with a little coaxing, we might actually get a couple of blog posts out of him. 😉

With the apartment to myself, I decided to go wild and do all of the fun things I could think of… starting with cleaning the toilet. Seriously, bathrooms are the worst! But, the process was fairly painless. I got the rest of the place straightened up as well, meanwhile I had several vanilla candles burning. Since the day we moved in, I’ve thought that this apartment smelled weird. I can’t even describe it, other than “heavy”. The candles have done an amazing job, though. Or it could be the baking that occured this evening…

I decided to get a head start on dessert for Wednesday night. I wanted to make a sacher torte – a recipe I got from AnnMarie when we lived in Brevig. I remembered it being a bit labor intensive, though, so I decided to make the cake tonight. I got to use our KitchenAid for the first time… it worked well. And the recipe took a few steps to put together, but I wouldn’t call it difficult. And I’m thinking about making one every night just to get this place to smell as heavenly as it does right now. Mmmmm!
