Mac-a-rons, Chocolate Cake, Cotton Candy, Marilyn Monroe! Ryan started the Fire!!

The reason I fell in love with french pastry was the colors!Who WOULDN'T walk by a window of macarons and stop?It's like seeing a room filled with electric butterflies.
A pastry wrapped to look like a classic candy?! Two right down here, please!!
Rainbows don't even look this good.

...okay...this one is from a Tokyo street cart, but I feel the cotton candy bags go with pastry in the quirkiest way.
If wonka would do it, I say YES! And that loon would do anything!

Macarons For Easter and a Crowned Ganache/Mousse Cake

The cake inside is chocolate fudge cake/ganache/chocoalte mousse/vanilla bean cake/vanilla buttercream/chocolate mousse/chocolate fudge cake/chocolate cream/vanilla bean cake-covered in chocolate buttercream-then ganache stars with macarons
I dunno why the cake looks shiny-it wasn't shiny in person...I'm thinking it's the flash or something...kinda bothers me. :)

Cat naps super serious

Watch this cat get just a little over dramatic when the dog interrupts her nap.

My nails aren't "appropriate" for work?
...What kind of sick, cruel world do we live in?!

Soldiers

We were simple soldiers both He and I
Serving our country with fire in our eye
We chose to serve because we believed
Oh how young men can be deceived
We suffered the heat, we suffered the rain
We suffered the stress
As our governments continued to press
We watched our friends come, we watched them die
We watched as our governments continued to lie,
As the years passed then until now
I sit and wonder how, circle after circle
Man continues to travel, fighting for this
And fighting for that, we should ask ourselves
Fighting for what,
We met on the battlefield, he and I
Now he is gone and I constantly wonder why
We were used to carry out some others folly
Now he is gone and I am left alone to wonder
And cringe when I hear the thunder
My thoughts go back to long ago times
I see the faces of people that really mattered
My friends, My comrades, My fragile spirit tattered
We take stock of what we have and where we are,
And I thank God for my Wife and my children.
