Mmm raspberries in cake batter. A better dinner could not be had. Well, I'll eat the leftover enchiladas too. But yum. I'm trying out a new recipe, making little cupcakes with raspberries, and dark chocolate centers. I hope they come out well. Cupcakes seem to work better in my wonky oven, and with molten chocolate center I worry less about not quite getting the center done. Brilliant.

The schools are back in session. Over the summer I forgot how truly awful so many school counselors are, and how utterly useless they are. I swear I've talked to better educated and more coherent people with in truck stop gas stations.

Project Runway last night was interesting. I totally loved the challenge of designing for real people, and having it be their mothers. It was grimly amusing to see some of the people running around saying "Oh my god I don't understand proportions on a body this size!" I completely and utterly disagreed with the win however. Lord. I also did not know that Bravo auctions off these outfits. How cool is that. I wish I was superskinny so I could buy some of Laura's beautiful clothes. I loved that jacket witht he fur trim she did.

I had a great dinner at Mesa Ranch tonight- I owe you big for mentioning that place. Yum!

And those of us that actually try to DO things in the schools, the school districts push out. Sigh.

Raspberry & chocolate muffins, mmmmm! Good trick that, with the chocolate centres.

& school "Counsellors" - probably trying to get it done on the cheap (cos the schools are underfunded)& with people who won't rock the "school community" boat?

I thought Vincent's dress was super ugly and boring and made Uli's mom look bulgy. However, I thought Uli did a beautiful job, especially given the fact that she was working with a plus sized woman. Her outfit fit Kayne's mother beautifully and was very flattering. She should have won.

Plus, she's not batshit crazy like Vincent.

I heart Project Runway. I got Jim interested in the show, too, even though he may not admit his love of fashion crazy people. I thought it was horrible that they didn't understand how to make "regular" clothing. WTF? So that's why I could never find anything to wear at stores. I'm not a size 2.

Uli and Micheal are my favorites for the win.
