Bests & Winner

I had a day to beat all on Friday.  From the moment I woke up, to the moment I plan to go to sleep (about 22 hours after I woke up), it’s been manic.

There were a few bests…

The best thing I looked at was the blue sky and sunshine. 75F and sunny in San Diego.

And the pink hibiscus was another best.

The best thing I did was go for a run.  I ran fast, I sweated, I loved it.

Then I came in and did yoga at homeNot from a dvd though. My day was stressful, fast-paced, and busy and I needed to slow things down and yoga definitely helped.

The best part of Leanne’s day is likely that she’s the winner of my Coconut Oil Give Away.  

Leanne @ Healthful Pursuit April 27, 2011 at 6:21 pm: I tweeted + I follow you + TropTraditions

Leanne, email me your shipping address.  I can’t wait to see what you make with your coconut oil!

From my last post, I’m glad you enjoyed all that lovely food that I’ve seen from around the ‘sphere this past week.

Thanks for filling me in on what you’re going to make nextSo many choices, not enough football teams to feed.

The best thing I made was this.

Frosting being whipped with beater

Any guesses what it is?

frosting on electric mixerIt was beater-lickin’ good, that’s for sure.

Questions:

1. How was your day?  Any bests to report?

2. Did you grow up patiently waiting until your mom was done making whatever she was making so you could lick the beaters?

I did!

3. Finish this sentence:

The last time I licked beaters was ____ and they contained ____.

(me = today and cream cheese frosting made with a cup of butter, a cup of cream cheese and almost 4 cups of powdered sugar.  Omg.)

Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll be back later on!

  1. Woohoo, congrats to the winner! Wow on your day, sounds crazy! What ever you made already looks good. :-)

    1. Friday was long with work, but fun going out with friends.
    2. Yes, occasionally.
    3. I can’t remember on beaters, but does the Vita-Mic container or food processor count? Then it was yesterday from raw chocolate cake icing.

  2. I always got to lick the beaters (and bowl) as a kid, and I still do it all the time :-) I prefer the batter to the baked good almost all the time.

  3. Congrats to Leanne! The last time I licked beaters (actually it was a fork) was two days ago and it was brownie batter. Mmmm…..

    Best thing I did so far this weekend was go to my hot yoga class. After not doing much yoga for a week due to my wisdom teeth coming out, I felt pretty out of shape and it was tough, but grand all at the same time!

    Hope you have a great weekend, Averie!

  4. I had to wake up early to get my car fixed, but while I was waiting for it I got all my class reading done and had a nice chat with my mom! In a little while I’ll get out for a hike in the (finally) warm Colorado sunshine.

  5. ahh the last time i licked beaters was a few months ago when I made black bottom cupcakes. Ohhhh yeahhh. Loved every milisecond of that one

  6. Sounds like you had a huge day. Cream cheese frosting–on carrot cake?
    My mom would let us lick the beaters, but only after she’d scraped almost every last bit off of them. And I’m like her–I clean everything off and don’t leave much for licking…

    Hope you got good sleep and have a great w/e–love that hibiscus!
