いつもお世話になってる翻訳ソフトのアップデートをしたらなぜかPCがご臨終しちゃいました。
しかもメールのバックアップまで失敗。
大事なメールも全部パー。
ゆうらさん、一世一代の不覚! (=_=;)ククク....
でも消えてしまったものは仕方がありませんね。
過去はサラリと水に流して(意味がちゃう?)今日から新しい人生を歩むことにします。
もちろんこれからは真面目にバックアップも取りますよ。
ヘヘヘ・・・
実はこのあいだヤマダ電機に行ったときに激安のポータブルハードディスクを買ってきてたんですね。
120GBあるからHDDを丸ごとバックアップしてもまだ余裕がありますよ。
あっ、でもHDDの中身を間違ってクリアしてしまったら、バックアップする意味もないか。
私なら十分あり得る話だわ。(^^ゞポリポリ
Like making my husband a beautiful breakfast for his birthday!
Raspberry-filled papaya
Blueberry Pancakes
And then throwing him a party!
Ina's Lemon Fusilli (I made mine with sundried tomatoes and spinach!)
Other menu items: pepperoni bread, broccoli and cheese stromboli, sunflower cupcakes and lots o' beer. :)
Happy Birthday, Anthony!!! I love you more than I could ever say! Cheers!
YAY! I made these sunflower cupcakes because I saw it on Katie's blog. Ugh. I wish I could take the credit for these cutie cuppy cakes, but my guilt complex prevents me from doing so!
Haha, this one looks like a freaky Van Gogh sunflower. Eh well...it was my first try!
I made these for my last day at work! Woo-hoo! They were devil's food cake topped with cocoa puffs and a M&M ladybug! The cocoa puffs adhere to double fudgey frosting! Mmmm!
I almost murdered my hubs for almost knocking them down when I tried to bring them out to my car. Word of warning: after watching your wife design cupcakes until 1 a.m. the previous morning, be ever-so-gentle when helping her transport them! :)
The one person who will miss me most, Professor Laura Zucconi. She was always a hungry and eager recipient of my many treats I would bring to the office. Here she has a "tearful" goodbye munch.
For every fabulous dinner, there should be an equally fabulous side dish. But some sides were not meant to sing back up. Some sides need their own spotlight, their own mic and their own blog entry. And between you and me, this side was one wicked diva. Seriously, if this dish had hands, it would've smacked the glasses off of Elton John's face. Just sayin'....
Moroccan Couscous
Ingredients
2 Tblsp olive oil
½ red onion, finely diced
¼ c. chopped almonds
¼ c. dried apricots, roughly chopped
1 c. couscous
1.5 c. chicken broth
1 scallion, chopped
A handful each of cilantro and mint, chopped
Directions
Sauté red onion in olive oil. Add almonds and apricots. Add couscous and chicken brother. Mix with a fork. Top with lid and remove from heat. After about five minutes, stir with a fork and add scallions and herbs. Mix well and enjoy!
And of course no dinner would be completely without a cool and sweet treat to end the night. A scoop each of coconut, mango and raspberry sorbet was the most perfect fit!
Not too shabby for a Thursday night dinner...
