oh man…what a drag. I’ve noticed that the food blogging community is pretty much nuts about dogs…Julie at Kitchenography even posted a recipe for dog biscuits (which I made as xmas presents for my inlaws brood of puppies…they devoured them – I’m not too proud to admit they’d have devoured socks if I’d wrapped them up.) I’ll keep my fingers crossed on the dog front – and I’m sure your cat was quite suspicious as to what you were up to – and is now all the more thrilled and loves your landlord.

Don’t worry…there are years ahead and lots of dogs to love…Best…

Yeah, the whole dog thing… didn’t really pan out.

In short, the realtor who showed us the place six months ago said “yeah, sure, no problem! okay, sign here” and today the landlord was like “wtf? we don’t allow dogs.”

The kid was fine about it. I freakin’ cried all day.

What Rachel said about the cc.

Wow! A dog! I won’t be able to have a dog until the teenager leaves. He says that’s in 4 years.

Well, I have no advice at all about the frosting, cakes aren’t my thing.

However, congrats on the (soon to be) puppy. I had a dream the other night where I got a puppy and named it “Vindaloo”, and then we started calling said puppy “Lou”.

No, I don’t know why I’m telling you this. I think I need more coffee . . .

You know, really this entry could have been titled, “Dear Rachel, help me out here, eh?” but I figured I’d be nice and include everyone.

I think my comment was swallowed.

re: fluffy icing-soft ball stage is basically just boiling syrup. Easy peasy.
re: cream cheese icing-add some milk if it is thick and make sure the block of cream cheese is room temperature.

The soft ball stage is easy! I swear. It’s basically just boiling syrup.

re: cream cheese, add some milk if it is thick and make sure the block of cream cheese is at room temperature.
