There are enough of us here with wives/girlfriends that we could potentially start a "what's on your face" thread too.

Just sayin.

...but The Kid and I made some cupcakes yesterday.

I don't bake at all. I use the oven plenty, but I don't bake. What's the difference between baking and roasting? You use the oven the same way; the difference is what you're cooking - with roasting, you're just cooking an item that already has a structure, like meat or vegetables. With baking, the cooking time both cooks it and gives it structure, like bread or cookies or... cupcakes.

Technically the casseroles I do would qualify as baking, but I'm not much into desserts so I've never bakes cakes or cupcakes. Haven't done bread either, unless you count a pan or two of cornbread. So this was a first for both of us...

The ingredients...

First take a stick of softened butter and mix it up with a cup of sugar. Really, if I used confectioner's (powdered) sugar and added a little milk and flavor, this would be icing...

Overall they turned out well. Coulda been a disaster, but it all worked out. Yay!

Man, The Kid is growing fast! Dont even see the scar on her head anymore. And congrats on a successful bake.

Thanks...

Yeah, she really is growing fast, up to 44" now, as tall as kids a year older than her...

It's still there under her hair but we did the daily silicone bandages for six months for scar mitigation and it's as faint as we can make it. Time will do the rest, hopefully...
