Double Orange Delight

I've started a new hobby. I am becoming quite the baker. I thought about going for butcher or candle-stick maker, but baker seems to be a little more rewarding. Butching is just too messy and candles are soooo 1700's. I like baking because I can eat what I make. Anything that ends with me eating is favorable to my liking. So I've been making chocolate...

Vikings = Finished

The Vikings lost today. I have found that the closer I follow the NFL the more in love I fall with my favorite team the Vikings. That is why I get frustrated when they have games like today. Their offense is just not up to speed and definitely not deserving of continued play in the post-season. I DO have to mention that I think it is a complete joke...
