I’m sorry I wasn’t more consistent in my posting last year. I am going to try to be better in 2012. But while I still have some recipes hanging around that I can post when the time is right, there are a few things that I really should have posted ages ago. Here goes.

We went to croquet in Annapolis for the first time in the spring. It was crazy crowded and full of drunk people in Great Gatsby-inspired clothes, and I realized I should have spent a lot longer thinking about what I was going to wear (and probably brought a picnic basket). I definitely need to think of a good cooking/baking project for this year’s!

I tried to make Hawaiian sweet bread, and it overflowed all over the place (but still tasted awesome… I need to try again soon).

I still haven’t been able to do a hair how-to, but here’s the photo from the Marine Corps ball that I promised:

Also, Toby got promoted! He’s like, totally major now.

My hair stylist had a baby girl, so I made her these cookies:

Then my friend Emily had a little boy. That called for cookies, too. He seemed to like them.

And, of course, Toby played a lot of rugby. He was even named honorable mention for the all armed forces team. And as an added bonus, we haven’t had to go to the ER since he started wearing the scrum cap!

Here’s to being better organized in 2012!
