The Chemist's Chronicles: June 2014
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. OK-so I started this post, then stopped and resumed several times. It is now June 26-several months after all my renovations :), and I'm thinking about getting back into blogging so I've finished this post up willy-nilly and am moving on :). So, rather than update, I will just start with today. Maybe I'll get around to posting about the last few months, but maybe some months all you can do is survive. K says: your kitchen is 80s, white cabinets would be better. Me: I thought babies...

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Black and White Cookies. So this week we made black and white cookies. I should not have a) taken the pic so soon after frosting, they looked better after setting up for a bit and b) taken the pic so close up, they looked great from across the room. What a perfect week for me to figure out why my pics used to be soooo tiny). Until Japan day 4-. Monday, June 25, 2012. Cornbread, a little late. And then due to some crazy events did not get it posted on time! And now for my review.

The Chemist's Chronicles: April 2012
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Here is the baclava, I will post about it tomorrow. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and an Easter Eggstravaganza! I hope you all LOVE nintendo/Wii/game consoles as much as I do or you won't appreciate these! Ps: I made this photo huge and you still can barely see the eggs. I'm sure our photographer was thinking about joining Newt's Moon Colony and therefore did not notice that the eggs were so tiny in the shots. Easter day I was visited by two Easter Bunnies!

The Chemist's Chronicles: May 2012
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. We are in Japan. :) First off, im on my ipad so forgive the spelling/grammer issues! Our first sight in Japan was the Rinno-Ji temple (a Shinto shrine, look up the pic so you can see what a sight it was! Let's just say, right from the start Japan looks like what you imagined it should look like, but as very few places live up to expectations, we were so blown away! Wednesday, May 23, 2012. This week we made some healthy grainy sort of bread. It was good. I am a lover of all ...I mad...

The Chemist's Chronicles: July 2012
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 18, 2012. Cinnamon rolls early and still late! My fam thought these were quite good, but no one said anything like "save the recipe" or "you have got to make these for." so, I'm taking that as they were perfectly edible but nothing special. Check out the recipe and other bloggers here:. Ps: I am going to do a real blog post this weekend-continuing on with Japan! Wednesday, July 11, 2012. This week we made the fresh fruit tart. Check out the recipe, lovely pics etc of the other bakers.

The Chemist's Chronicles: Newborn photo shoot
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2015/04/newborn-photo-shoot.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. We had BB's newborn photos taken at fotofly when he was about 2 weeks old. The photographer was so wonderful! Especially nice since O was on the phone most of it with a work issue and I could barely stand up I was so worn out by the end! I wish I had taken my elastic off my wrist but other than that the photos turned out wonderfully. :). This was our announcement photo. I must admit this one is pretty sweet though :). We love our little bunny! So, so cute! April 7, 2015 at 5:41 AM.

The Chemist's Chronicles: Benny Has Arrived! Month 1
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2015/07/benny-has-arrived-month-1.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. I started this post when Benny was born and just wrote a few notes each week. Now, 15 months later, I'm trying to get back into blogging so I can organize all of BB's photos. So I'm now going to very roughly recap months 0-15. Born: May 2, 6 pm ish. So, onto fabulous BB! Sunday evening: we arrived home. We could not get Benny to eat (all he wanted to do was sleep) and we were petrified! All in all, worst experience yet has got to be the first evening home-killer scary! Monday aft...

The Chemist's Chronicles: September 2012
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. If it had chocolate chips, I think it might be perfect! Wednesday, September 19, 2012. It was as good as if not better than in a restaurant! L (who ALWAYS orders french toast) confirmed this. O not only ate it, he ate several pieces and said it was "extremely tasty" (I don't think he has ever said that before, but then, he also complimented his bacon a bunch so maybe he was in an ebullient mood). I will use this recipe again! Wednesday, September 12, 2012. My other two tast...

The Chemist's Chronicles: March 2015
http://secretreader.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. I would have happily stayed in the hospital forever :). On our way to the hospital. Basically, I never took any prego photos. Bad time to start when you are in labor. I was too uncomfortable to bother getting ready. :(. I was very much half dead here. This was the reason for no FB photos. You see all those pics of lovely people in the hospital with their hair done and all-here is the reality. And this was actually the next day! The hospital put this little hat on his cone head :).
