Cuppycakes

I am a terrible cook. I would rather eat out every night of the week than have to cook every night. We were eating out nearly every night before Arthur decided we couldn't do it anymore. I was pretty mad, but I agreed to compromise. He figured out a good plan. We could go out once a week to eat, and every other night he would cook and do the dishes. I was ok with that! So every night he comes over, and cooks! It sounds funny, but it works for us. He loves to cook and I love to eat... He doesn't mind doing dishes, and I hate to do dishes. :)

This weekend was fun. My cousin Brooke and her husband Jim came over on Friday night. Arthur and I bought American Idol for the Wii so we all sang and had a blast. Halfway through the night, Brooke said she wanted a treat. I wanted one too, so we thought about what we could do. Normally, I suggest we go out and get dessert somewhere... but then Arthur would have counted that as our one night out! No way!

So Brooke and I dug in my cupboards and I found a box of cake mix and some frosting. We made chocolate cupcakes! We were pretty proud of ourselves. Can you tell?


In the end, we had a blast making cupcakes. Arthur and Jim both had one and Brooke and I each had 2. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I can cook, even if it is just a cake mix. :P
