She has a cold.
I’m so very tired.
I baked a pie, made ravioli from scratch, baked a four layer cake, made fish tacos (tortillas from scratch) and hosted a little party all in three days.
I’m tired.
Oh…and I got a business license. Notice that logo up there…yup, I’m all legal now. Need photographic services in the Greater Victoria Area (shameless self-promotion!)? Check out my Facebook page (official website is still in progress).
Then I made these crackers too.
They were a quick, fun distraction on a rainy day for a rambunctious soon-to-be three year old and they are addictive. They are filled with oodles of cheese.
Did I mention that they are addictive?
Take half an hour out of your busy day and make these crackers, you’ll thank me later when you need a snack but you feel guilty reaching into another bag.
