Not what you were expecting . . . not what I was expecting!

So you are expecting cupcakes and I was expecting to make cupcakes, and yet . . . . I have no cupcakes to show you.

The Pressure Regulator on our stove went (or so I am told), which meant we have no gas pressure in our stove which meant no yummy cupcakes for anyone. (Don't worry about leaking gas or anything like that it was just a sensor regulator thingy . . . no danger here. Which didn't stop me from grabbing Max and running outside like a mad woman haha)
The company we bought the stove from can order one, and rush deliver it for Monday so it's looking like a cold salads and sandwiches for dinner this weekend, luckily we had no entertaining plans. Generally speaking Holiday's that involve excessive amounts of drinking and green food coloring are ones that we don't host, in our mostly neutral, light beige carpeted house! ;) (a little word to the wise).

In the meantime I'll be getting my Barefoot Contessa on. I checked out most of her books from the library this week, I plan on having a Barefoot Contessa Week next week! That's right a whole week of Barefoot Contessa Meals!  As always I'll let you know how it goes. I also have some great hooks to share with you as soon as I install and photograph them! 

I'll try to whip up a batch of Cupcakes at my sister's house this weekend. I'll post pictures this weekend if she let's me take over her kitchen . . . but really who wouldn't let you take over their kitchen for cupcakes ? ? ?

We're wishing everyone a Happy St.Patrick's Day!!!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
