Baking Just Because

I got a new oven for Christmas. Yes, you read that right. I am the sort of person that gets a new oven for a significant holiday present. To be more specific, I got one of these crazy contraptions--a countertop convention, microwave combination. It's a freaky Frankensteinian machine, which, according to my mother is all the range in metropolitan Europe. And it bakes like a champ. 

So now I want to bake. All the things. Did you notice that I like to bake things? It's true, I do. AND I'm already, almost, no longer burnt out on baking from the holidays. Almost. This weekend, it's on [okay--it's my husband's birthday, so there's little question about the need for baking]  

Clearly it's time for another installment of baking inspiration. Thanks Internet!

on a completely unrelated note:

If I had Spotify, or other somesuch application that let you see what I listened to while I wrote this post, you would officially know how crazy I am. 

It involved the following: 
• The Gourd's cover of "Gin & Juice"
• "Parlez Nous a Boire", my favorite Cajun folk song 
• an MP3 of this T-Pain cover
• the entire Goat Rodeo Sessions album, featuring Yo-Yo Ma

...I just thought you should know.
