Waking up to a raging snow storm in April makes me excited to leave Wyoming! Even though everyone knows by lunch the roads will be dry, I would prefer to live somewhere where snow is a freak accident. Keeping that in mind, I am going on vacation to Seattle this summer...and whilst abroad (okay only three states west of my current location) I plan on visiting the fine country of Canada...more importantly, Vancouver! Travelling across US borders is no longer an easy task ('Thanks a lot Bin Laden.' --Allan, the Hangover), so a passport is a necessary investment. Getting the said passport is extremely simple, if you like hanging out at the post office for an exorbitant amount of time. However, this morning poses the problem of getting my small hands on my birth certificate. My mother thinks it is fun to keep said birth certificate in a fire-proof box, which is smart and probably safe, that is, until there are no keys to get into this box. Her method of organization depends largely on a 'penny jar' full of random keys...all of which do not fit the lock of the fire-proof box. Indeed an interesting morning...needless to say, the certificate cannot be retrieved until her expertise arrives home from work.
With passport dreams on hold, I had an itch to create pastrylicious happiness...so I settled for toffee...of course created with a topping of ground espresso and almonds mixed together with bittersweet chocolate and coarsely chopped almonds and cacao nibs...as it cools, I blog :)
I have been meaning to use up a bag of Meyer lemons we purchased at Whole Foods recently...but I haven't had the urge for a lemony suprise...I should zest the majority of them and freeze my findings for future use before the whole bag dries up in the corner of the fruit drawer in the refrigerator!!
Enough for now...I shall be off to taste my creations and cross my fingers for safe retrieval of the box key ♥ Happy Passports!
