Man the deer have really been all over again starting last week. Makes me a little nervous driving around near home I really do not want to hit one :(

Sunset in the City

Naturally the photos do not do it justice since I have only been taking pics on my iPhone of late, however, the sunset in the city has been pretty cool these last couple weeks. Voila!

Cookies!!!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by myafinari


Yay finally baked in my very own oven!!! And I even had an old pal over who got to help us eat them up!!! I love exclamation points right now!!! In case you want to make these cookies here are the recipe links!!!

Cranberry Molasses Cookies

Dark Chocolate Chip Comfort Cookies

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

My favorite were the Cranberry Molasses Cookies,very easy to get a yummy gingerbread-ie cookie without having to roll out dough and cut shapes and frost!!!

The Dark Chocolate Chip Comfort Cookies have a touch of peanut butter in them so they were not overly chocolatey!!!

And the Cinnamon Roll Cookies, I did the cheat thing and used a premade sugar cookie dough :) Also was so warm at that point and I did not wait long enough to re-chill the dough that they flattened out a bit, but still tasted good!!!

Happy Snoween!!!

Posted on October 31, 2011 by myafinari

He he, so we are without power since Saturday afternoon, they say maybe Wednesday it will be back, sweet! Not really so bad even though dropped well below freezing last night, lots of blankets keep us cozy enough. It is a fun time, not being sarcastic either I swear, driving through all the downed trees is very exciting :)


View outside my kitchen window!


And here is the back deck…

Hope you are warm and safe somewhere, and enjoy the Trick or Treatin’….

**updated** So poor kiddos did not get to trick or treat in our town this year, too dangerous they said. At least they did not have to go to school :) And we shall be without power until Friday Midnight according to the schedule. Second powerless week this year, craziness!

On the Street

Posted on August 11, 2011 by myafinari

So was walking to the train after work last week and saw that they were filming something across the way. The lights were very bright!

But truly the reason I bothered to stop and take a touristy photo was because I wanted to take a picture of this window display, that was right across the street. Just for Spikey since she now has a love of the periodic table of elements :)
