pumpkin spice cupcakes w/honey frosting
last night I made pumpkin spice cupcakes for the first time. ryna helped me... her first time baking! and of course... just like a kid should... she licked the spatula and bowl clean. anyway... cupcakes came out GREAT. i think i'll be making these for thanksgiving this year in cake pop form. oh and... a pumpkin spice cupcake makes a great breakfast pastry and goes great with pumpkin spice latte! =)

nascar racing experience
for love's birthday this year, i got him a nascar racing experience. 5 minutes in the driver's seat... of a real nascar race car... on a real racetrack! unfortunately, his birthday was in july... and the next available scheduled event in SoCal wasn't until october... in fontana at the auto club speedway. it was worth the wait! we woke up super early that sunday morning... 5am... to make the drive from torrance to fonatana. i'm not a morning person... i swore i would sleep in the car on the way there, but i was too excited for him!! we arrived 30min early... managed to take a nap before they let everyone in. if anyone ever does this... plan ahead and prepare food, drinks, and snacks... bring a small cooler of goodies... b'coz you'll be there for a couple hours. i've never been to the speedway... it was pretty awesome to be walking into the pit... to set foot on the same concrete real racers and pit crews set foot on.
