lucy makes cadbury eggs

well, here i am again gracing the internets and your computer screens with my presence. lucky you! i haven't been around much lately for no reason other than sheer lack of motivation. hubs and i are having lots {and lots and lots} of conversations about our future and dealing with all the little {and big} ups-and-downs of life that seem to be coming all at once these days. and while next year still has a big question mark next to it, i can definitely say i've kicked my funk and am feeling myself again. this uncertain time is a chance for us to define ourselves and look at life as an adventure again, not an obstacle, and i'm excited about the possibilities. even if that ultimately means staying in kansas one more year. {also, hubs passed his thesis defense! great news indeed} {also also some things are in the works that i might be sharing with you soon!}

so, moving on, happy belated easter! it's no secret that i'm in love with dessert of all shapes and sizes but husband really isn't. that being said, he's obsessed with cadbury creme eggs and i've kept a constant supply of them in the house since they appeared. since they'll be gone soon i tried my hand at making my own {with these instructions}

they taste ah.mazing!
unfortunately i didn't want to get molds and i'm really not good at dipping things in chocolate and i made a huge mess in the kitchen {and on my hands. and on the floor...} i felt like lucy at the chocolate factory. 

good thing my stomach doesn't have eyes!

  3. OMG I am addicted to Creme Eggs! But they have a gazillion calories :( Wish I could have a go at making these, but I don't think my mum would be too pleased with me making the kitched messy :/

  5. I love that scene! But for me it's the Cadbury milk chocolate mini eggs that do me in. I think I ate a 18 oz bag of those in two days. Sigh...

  7. And by making your own, you can make them as big as they used to be.

  8. oh! okay, so that's not a real egg in there? i had to look up the recipe to be sure. which has also outed me in the fact that i've never ever had a cadbury egg, nor seen one in person. weird, i know.

    i love that episode of i love lucy! classic comedy.
