Cocoa-Caramel Bourbon Truffles
I have had an obsession with learning about Marilyn Monroe lately. For no particular reason, really. Some of you may have noticed towards the bottom of my page, I have Marilyn displayed. That’s because I find her quotes inspirational when I am down. However, in learning about her, I am intrigued by this woman… She was not the bimbo that the media made/makes her out to be. Marilyn was actually a very shy, intelligent, troubled and beautiful woman. I suppose I am so fascinated by her, because I see a lot of myself in her.

Chocolate Caramel Brownies
What a weekend! Eclipse Dance Company was all over the place! Our big event, among others this weekend, was the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. We had a 30 minute piece that we put on for the festival and it went really well. 30 minutes of dancing straight through, btdubs. No stopping. Thirty.Minutes.Straight.Through. Whew!

I think it may have something to do with the Rugged Maniac that I completed this past weekend. My 3rd and final race down! However, I don’t think the ice cold pools of dirty water were good for me. Seems kind of strange that only 2 days later I came down with some pretty serious infections. Hmmm…linked perhaps? I think so. The race was hard and definitely physically demanding. A step above the Warrior Dash…

Traditional Fall Treat
I don’t know about you but when I was little one of the things that I REALLY looked forward to during the Fall was caramel apples. I remember coming home from school when my mom had made them fresh and it was like the best surprise in the world. Grabbing one of those gooey treats and biting into was just Fall to me. The real trick was trying not to get it all over myself. Somehow I always managed to get caramel in my hair…haha, sorry Mom. Although, I have to admit that kids with sticky fingers is one of the cutest things ever. They have no idea what to…
