Ooo, I loooove Melissa Sweet! I love Carmine, I love what she does for eeBoo, I love her earlier work with adult titles and now I can love her every time I bake.

Got the above back around Xmas time. Problem with an alphabetical recipe box is: I don't cook alphabetically. I wanted to use the adorable index cards, though, so I got some tab markers and made my own categories -- notice the separate categories for Baked Goods, Cookies, and Desserts??? I didn't get much farther than that in the recipe box since baking sweets is my biggest concern in the kitchen (Eggs, Soup, Booze and Meat are my only other categories.)

Ooo, and notice the recipe out? My Nana's Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake! Yes, I'm baking it for my last class with Brenda.

Tonight's class we'll mostly share the work we've done and celebrate. No alcohol allowed as per UW policy (even though I'm pretty sure the MBAs in the classroom next door are always tipsy) and zucchini is the next best thing. It is usually a plain bundt cake, but I'm making it in cupcake form for tonight with cream cheese frosting.

Unfortunately, the zucchinis in my garden aren't quite big enough to harvest yet -- BUT my three plants are the size of a baby elephant. If you live near by expect to find some zucchinis on your doorstep in a few weeks.
