Recovering and Recipes and Such

Finally recovered from a 24hr stint between the bathroom and the couch and not being able to keep anything in my stomach. What a grueling 24hrs that was. Luckily my mother is the sweetest, kindest person ever. After she came home from her doctor's appointment, she took care of me. My dad also attempted to take care of the both of us and he wasn't feeling good either. Let's just say I'm really lucky to have such caring parents who will hold my hair back while I...

Anyway, have had plenty of time to do some work on the computer, watch cooking shows, and search pinterest. I need to get back in the kitchen and do what I love most - create food for the people I love.

What is a Cupcake?

According to the Urban Dictionary, entry #3 says:
A "cupcake" is a person who... ...from outward appearance you would assume they are tough, but on the inside they are soft. ...can be very sweet. ...is the perfect size, just the right amount of everything. ...is also cute yet delicious. ...people are always in the mood to hang out with them, just like people are always in the mood to have cupcakes. ...people never get sick of.
Um, yeah. That fits.
Do not, I repeat, do not look up "muffin" in the Urban Dictionary.
