Carrot Cupcake

We had a potluck lunch today. Paul and I were thinking "what is a good dessert to bring?" Oh... I forgot to mentioned it was Mexican theme -- for the potluck. And what is a Mexican dessert? I remember a friend of ours back on Guam, she makes an amazing "flan".

I'm not sure flan is a Mexican dessert, but I thought would be close enough. I called her but that was last minute thing, I couldn't get in touch with her, so Paul got a recipe from the Internet for me. Well, long story short, I decided to not make flan this time -- well, there are a few reason, I never made it before, looks very difficult to make and I like Olga's (our friend on Guam) flan! So, instead, I brought carrot cake cupcakes for the potluck dessert this time. Luke loves them, and of course Paul and I enjoyed a few too (^-^).

But still I would like to try to make flan sometime! -- Olga, I will call you again and this time I will get your recipe!!!

While I was baking, Luke was playing on the balcony with one of his favorite toys... the broom. He loves to sweep and carrying around the big broom. But whenever he hears cars coming up the hill, birds playing in the bushes, or a dog barking he gets excited, so he runs up to the rail and watches them go by.

It was a gorgeous day today, warm and beautiful sunshine! I feel like spring is coming!
