Rainbow Cake - Not Just for Lepruchauns

I just found this blog post on how to make a rainbow cake over at Omnomicon. Move over, Funfetti there is a new cake in town.

This recipe is a "diet-cake", but you can easily just use regular cake batter. OMG, what if one used Funfetti cake mix to make rainbow cake?! I might have to run some experiments this weekend.

I Choose Adam Lambert

Tonight I went over Colleen's to watch American Idol and eat fro-yo sundaes. Adam Lambert was amazing once again. I have officially developed a major teen crush on him. This goes right up there with Luke Perry and NKOTB except most of my admiration is strictly amazement and pride and interest in his career (read: I probably won't be putting up a poster of Adam on my bedroom wall and kiss it goodnight).

After Idol was over Colleen had a very special surprise for me...Heartthrob! The Dream Date Game.

I won both rounds.

The Ultimate Trio of Skills to Master

On the way home from work tonight there was a beefcake, good looking dude with long, skinny dreadlocks on the G train with me. He was holding 3 "For Dummies" videos with him:

• Foreclosure Investing for Dummies
• Credit Repair for Dummies
• Wine for Dummies

60th Easter Optima Weekend

This weekend was very fun and exciting not only because it was Easter (very exciting), but because it was my dad's 60th birthday AND I got a new car - a Kia Optima (I put 2 transmission replacements in my old car and since the transmission was dying again it was time give up).

Friday night I hopped in the car with Abe and my cousin Eddie. We left at 7:25pm and made it up to Shrewsbury by 10:40 - and that was with 1 stop for food and gas! You need to be incredibly impressed by that timing.

We pulled into my parents' driveway and from the front walk I could hear Patsy Cline's "Crazy" playing from inside. When you hear that song at my parents' house you know the karaoke machine is on in full effect.

Abe and Eddie try to ease into the raging party.

Zeke is exhausted and dying for everyone to go home.

They might still party like rock stars even when the karaoke machine starts smoking and shuts down, but you are reminded it's a 60th birthday party when my dad shares his eye glasses with Richard so he and my mom can read Rod Stewart lyrics.

Saturday was filled with tv, eating Easter candy, rain, early bird dinner at JP's Restaurant, watching Moonstruck, and drinking rum & Coke at Dave and Brit's house.

Sunday was Easter (yay!) and involved more eating.

This is the third holiday in a row where Eddie was left to finish dinner alone while the rest of us got started on dessert.
