five senses friday #11

Here’s my little week in just five senses. I hope you’ll share some of your five senses in the comment section. Enjoy your weekend.

• seeing: the tops of lots of buildings in downtown akron.
• tasting: smoked goat cheese from the Ornery Goat that we picked up at the farmer’s market in kent.
• hearing: for the price of a cup of tea by Belle and Sabastian (thanks for the recommendation Greg).
• smelling: triple citrus cupcakes fresh out of the oven.
• feeling: better about myself after getting out and doing a bit of hiking this week. nearly 5.5 miles.

PS & BTW, I’m kind of in love with the patterns and colors of the shingles on the church steeple below.

greg’s birthday cupcakes

Greg’s birthday is this weekend. I offered to make him the cupcake of his choice. He chose the Triple-Citrus Cupcake from Martha Stewart’s Cupcake cookbook. The cupcakes have the zest from oranges, lemons and limes in the batter. I divided the glaze in three dishes and made one for each citrus. And I have to tell you, being around all this brightly colored fruit has me yearning for spring and summer. Oh, and the fruit in the cupcakes makes them Weight Watchers friendly, right?
