apple souffle

mmmmm Tuesday mornings are bound to be the best mornings of the week. This semester Vanessa and I both have Tuesday mornings off... this never happens! So this past Tuesday we decided to have a good breakfast together; apple souffle! I had never had a souffle before, so this was quite the delight to my tastebuds! There's just something special about getting up with the roomie, having coffee, making breakfast, listening to "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson, it's just so refreshing!

Oh, you may have noticed a little 'fresh' widget on the right hand side of my blog, as well as one for 'midkid'. My classmate, Cara, showed me this! It's a widget that you can add to your blog! Simply copy the html code below my picture, log on to your blog, click 'add gadget' and chose the html option, and then paste my code where it says 'content' and voila!

If you want to make your own widget, just ask me and I can help you now (thanks to Cara!) They are great because it can increase traffic to your own blog, kinda like an add, and it's a much cuter way of having "blogs that i follow" because it comes with a cute picture!
