With some of Dennis' help and with the help of a website and book, I was able to learn how to read Hangeul (Korean writing). I can read it, but understanding what I'm reading is a totally different thing. I'm also learning how to write it properly, but that's not going very well.
Oh, this didn't start in August, but back in the beginning of July I joined a couple of Dennis' co-workers, Heather and Mariko, in their cupcake baking endeavor. They thought it would be a good idea for the girls to get together and do something while our husbands playing poker together. And I guess cupcake baking became it. This happens on the first Friday of every month. They borrow our oven and we bake in Heather's apartment, which is in the next building over. Mariko's place is much bigger than ours and is two subway stations over, but we can't do it there because that's where the poker games happen. They pretty much buy all the ingredients and bake the cupcakes for their students and I provide the microwave and kinda help out with the decorating and whatever else they need help with. The girl talk, the shows we watch on Heather (and Luke's) huge projector screen, and the baking are all really fun. The drama we hear about from the boys' poker nights are also very, very entertaining, but unfortunately can't be discussed here.
We actually started a Facebook page called "Friday Night Cupcakery". Feel free to "Like" it and check out some of the stuff we've done! Here are a few pics.
So far we've done pie cupcakes, cookie monster cupcakes with cookie dough centres, red and white Canada Day and red, white and blue Independence Day cupcakes, and a rainbow Pride cake! I'm not sure what next month will bring!
As for the rest of my August. That will have to wait until my next post because it's way past my bedtime!
