Happy 162nd Birthday, Oregon!

 

It's been a moment since I've been with you, Oregon, but you're always home to me. Happy birthday!

Happy 161st Birthday, Oregon!

Today, we celebrated Oregon with a chocolate chip cake with vanilla hazelnut frosting, some chicken wings tossed in Fire on the Mountain sauce, and an Oregon pinot noir. Delicious!

Happy 160th Birthday, Oregon!

Still as lovely as ever.

Happy 159th Birthday, Oregon! (2018)

Whoohoo!

Happy 158th Birthday, Oregon! (2017)

Whoohoo! Another year, another cake.

Cheers, Oregon!

Happy 157th Birthday, Oregon! (2016)

Another year, another birthday to celebrate!

A double-decker cake with chocolate (Oregon-grown) hazelnut ganache on bottom and vanilla buttercream up top. Best cake I've made, even if it isn't as elegantly Oregon-shaped as I would like. Also, this year I made an Oregon pendant for a necklace so I can love my home state more often without aching over baking a cake in the kitchen. Whoohoo!

Take it easy, Oregon.

Happy 156th Birthday, Oregon! (2015)

My blog might not be updated as often as it should, but by golly, it's another February 14th and therefore, it's another post celebrating Oregon!

Happy Birthday to Oregon! (2014)

Cheers to all  my dear friends in Oregon. I'm celebrating with Fire On the Mountain chicken wings and good company.

Blue the Coo.

I bit the bullet and am now the owner of a tablet so I can digitally doodle on the go.

This was the experimental doodle. Blue!

Pi Day 2013!

Happy Pi Day!
May your pies be merry and irrational.



This year's pie was key lime. It. Was. Amazing.
