It's Been Far Too Long

Hello friends...it's me...Amelia, ya know that girl that bakes and blogs....yes, yes, yes, I know, I know...since it's been forever you have found some other bakin and bloggin chick to pay attention to, but that is all about to change! I am back! Auditions for Masterchef are December 3rd, and I have a lot of work to do! I still need to get in the kitchen and become friends with things like chicken, pork, and oh I don't know, veal maybe? My point is I am pretty awesome at the baking thing, but when it comes to holding any type of raw meat I crumble to my knees and break out into hives the size of golf balls. It creeps me out! But, once I pop a xanax or have a glass of the oh so delectable vino, I am a decent home cook and so I am going to apply for MC. So that's a brief update on that!
Now as for other news...I HAD THE BABY!!! Woot Woot!! On September 15th, Grey Patrick was born. I was all gung ho to have him au naturale, but that didn't work out so well. I was doing good until hour 7 hit, and then shit hit the fan and I caved and begged for the epidural. Ok, so I didn't beg in fact I just said I wanted it, and next thing I knew the guy with the needle was there. I kinda wish the nurse had tried to help me stick to my plan but she did not, and my husband was being a dear trying to give it the ol' "you said you wanted to do this, and no, you're not getting an epi" etc in that firm football coach voice, but it wasn't working for me. But regardless of how, our healthy little guy arrived and has been such a joy in our lives...well a joy to me, the hubs is still adjusting to being up all night! Alright enough of this, time to blog about deliciousness!!
