(This is totally off subject, but speaking of Eric’s sister Clairice, she is an amazing graphic designer who just made it as a semifinalist in a contest over at Spoonflower.com. Hers is the one called Retro Tech. How awesome is she? To win the contest she will need votes starting in about a week for 3 other designs she is submitting. I’ll let you know when it happens so that you can all show her some love. She designed my blog, too. She is the best!) At our barbeque yesterday we all shared stories about any relatives of ours who have served in the armed forces. It was really fun hearing everyone’s stories. My grandpa served in World War II, but I was sad to realize that I couldn’t even come up with one story about him. He’s passed away now, so I’ll have to ask my dad. All I know is that we still have the bedrolls he slept on, and we also have a hammer that my grandma used working on airplanes for the war. I don’t know if she was helping build them or fixing them or what. Now that we are moving we are trying to clean out our pantry and freezer. I found a box of carrot cake mix that I bought a while ago, intending to make it for Eric since he likes carrot cake. I’m not the hugest fan, so I never got around to it. (What can I say, chocolate always beats carrot cake.) But then I got the genius idea for carrot cake cookies…and these sandwiches were born. I must say they are pretty amazing. I prefer them to carrot cake. And they are definitely waaaaay faster!
