there’s no basement in the alamo

alyssa celebrated another year of life this weekend, thanks to us, and a “pee wee’s big adventure” themed party. i contributed the alamo made out of cardboard and a red bow tie cake. i could have been a little cleaner with my cake and not gotten food coloring and frosting all over the cake board, but oh well. it was a yellow cake with raspberry filling and this year i opted to get a spray can of red food coloring and paint the cake red rather than mix the vanilla frosting with a whole bottle of red. i’ve learned from the past – if you want it to be actually red, you have to use a lot of red food coloring. no joke. otherwise it’s some shade of pink and you wonder where you went wrong. lesson learned.

i have other things to talk about, mostly for our food blog which i really hope to post this week since i have been slacking on it. i’ll be writing a few restaurant reviews and talking about our deep fry party. you should try a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich, i swear. but that’s it. one thing at a time, trust me on this.
