Friends of the pancake.

I know the photo I chose wasn't officially taken on April 9th, but I really prefer it to my actual April 9th photo.  These are homemade cheesecake brownies I made for a work party. Somehow I always have the ambition to cooking a whole new recipe for work, which may not be the best idea since everyone will experience my first attempt.  Luckily, these came out well and smelled deeeeelightful! Next time I'd leave out about half the cream cheese because the topping was a little too dense and omit the chocolate chips, but good overall. 

For good measure, below is the actual April 9th photo.

These dry soups are actually pretty good!

Tuesday night trivia with brains fueled by ice water and jelly beans.

I thought Easter candy discounts was a good thing, but I went overboard this year.  See that purple Crunch egg up there? Yeah, I had to force myself to donate him and his buddies to work for the sake of my health.

Although I felt like one of only a handful of 20-somethings I know dying Easter eggs this year, it didn't stop me from breaking out not only one, but TWO coloring kits.  Thanks to a tip from K, I refrained from getting a glitter kit because you'll end up with a sparkly tongue from some stray glitter getting your shell-less egg.

I finally remembered to use white vinegar with the dye pellets and it definitely made for some bright shells! Above are B's eggs mingling with mine :)

Experimenting with glass.

Best when dry.

My April 1st batch of photos were pretty unflattering...

This April Fool's, I made a fool out of five people - my best effort ever! I know it's not very nice to trick someone, but this is the one day I can do it without feeling too guilty.  Plus, my jokes are usually silly, no-hurt-feelings-intended kind of jokes like, "My dad is going to buy an iguana."  However, it's one thing to trick five people one time and another to trick one person five times.  I learned my lesson this year to quit while I'm ahead :P
