Man did we have a great night tonite. I knew in December that about 6 weeks of Life were going to get craZy right after Christmas due to extracurricular schedules, but jeez-oh has it surpassed my worst expectations! Tonite was the first night we've been in all night since the beginning January. And not all of us were here - Meiners was out to dinner with The Grands and The Man had a business dinner. But the rest of us? The rest of us pulled up a chair and made homemade corn bread, finished long overdue homework assignments, and even got some multiplication drills in. We (and by that I mean the kids) vacuumed and dusted and cleaned the bathrooms. We (and by that I mean I) folded countless baskets of laundry...
It was a great night.
Only one thing was missing. Cupcakes. Seriously. I have a longterm love affair with small cups of chocolate goodness. I travel far and wide to enjoy an uncommon cake in a paper coiffe. Last night I didn't travel far at all, however. In fact - I visited my extra fridge in the basement and devoured the final cupcake from my baking extravaganza last week. I enjoyed it so much I not only took pictures of it, I thought I would share the recipe with you here. So, be-bop over and load up on milk. Because these babies aren't for the faint of heart. These cupcakes are for chocolate lovers. I just wish I hadn't let The Man have that strawberry frosted one last night. Cuz then I could've topped off a perfect night tonite...
