Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
I found this recipe on MarthaStewart.com and I am so excited to try this... I just need an occasion.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:-1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
-1 tablespoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
-1 3/4 cups sugar
-4 large eggs
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1 1/4 cups milk
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for dusting
-2 tablespoons sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together both flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
2. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is mixed well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each.
3. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean (about 20 minutes). Remove from oven and allow cooling before removing cupcakes.
4. To finish, combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar. Using a pastry bag with a large plain tip, pipe frosting on each cupcake. Dust cinnamon-sugar onto the cupcakes.

Dancing in the Rain
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
Sounds Like Life
I love the message in the chorus of this song....
Sounds like life to me, aint no destiny
Yeah, the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight, just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability, sounds like life
Man, I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you're caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me.
