Coffee and Cashmere: new year's eve

Back from my much needed vaca. "Back life, back to reality." I bump a lil Soul II Soul on occasion. So, what?

New Year's Eve was phenom. We rang in 2o12 with so many close friends and family. This will be an amazing year. I just can feel it. Even though it might be our last. Eh. Nice job Mayans. Way to be a tribe of Debbie Downs.

Since we might only have 12 months left to eat delicious foods, we should just start now. I made these pink brownies for my little fashion queen's birthday last month. Yum. The strawberry flavor was a nice change from the usual chocolate. It was super easy to whip them up the morning before the party. Ba, da, ba, ba, ba, I'm lovin' it.

Pinkies
|| ingredients ||
1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
Powdered Sugar

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

-Stir together cake mix, eggs, and oil into a bowl. Batter will be very thick. Mix well and press onto the bottom of the dish.

-Bake for 14 minutes. Let the pinkies cool completely. Run hot water over a sharp knife to slice the pinkies easily. Dust with powdered sugar. The same recipe could be used for making Lemon Pinkies by substituting lemon cake mix.

I feel like I am still in vaca mode. I guess I technically am. New Year's Eve night is tomorrow. We are traveling to Memphis for Zoogma's Zoo Year's Eve party. It gets pretty rowdy. A musical stampede of sweaty people in animal costumes. Fun times. The thought of cleaning up and packing right now gives me a serious case of the "yawns." I've diagnosed myself. I just don't feel motivated to shake off my lazies.

Anydoubleshotofexpresso, I have always been obsessed with the 197o's fashion. From the bohemian glamour to the glittered out Studio 54 nights, it just appeals to me.
