I was originally saving this recipe for your cupcake party. So glad I didn’t wait though! I ate soooo many…

I love these. Like seriously: love these. Both the ex-roomies and the kid sis have made them off of the Smitten Kitchen version of the recipe that came out a few years ago.

That said: I can’t imagine have a triple batch around. It was hard to eat a full one of those cupcakes (at a sitting) as they were so decadent.

I have *never* figured out the lack of bread plate thing in France. Even at the fancy places you’re expected to put your bread directly on the table. Perhaps that’s why the invented the crumb collector? (Since you don’t use butter on your bread in France ever, I guess the idea is that you won’t actually soil the table cloth – but that’s pure conjecture.)

N.B. = nota bene. I use too many latin abbreviations in my writing – can I blame it on too much time in liberal artsy academia? Though I think I prefer Ninja Burger (which I have a copy of, if you would ever like to play). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene

Oh, I didn’t know that about the French. And they don’t have bread plates? Is that because bread is an integral part of the meal?

Also, I looked up N.B. to see what it stood for and found the suggestion, “Ninja Burger.” Thanks, internet.

If I remember correctly, the salad course *does* come after the meat course in much of the world (per French influence). Of course “salad” in the French context does not always refer to greens – it usually just means veggies of some sort. It’s the countries colonized by the Brits who’ve switched up the order of eating operations…

(N.B. This obviously isn’t a French style place setting either as it involves both bread plates and butter knives – so now I’m just confused. Sporks for everyone!)

“plastic bag, just in case” omg yes. I so get that. I stick my macbook air in it when it rains, and who know the buzzilion other reasons it might come in handy.

Other things I carry “just in case” that maybe some people might think are too much:

super glue
binder clips
rubber bands
masking tape (I’m an engineering student so maybe this is specific to me)
mini stapler
hothands (these are little packets that you squish to make them little hot packs for your pockets)

Yay for preparedness!

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!

Also, *buying* sugar cookies is so much less effort than these cookies. If I had thought of that, I would’ve eaten that lemon curd myself! ;)

So in an effort to taste your creation … your sister arrived home with a tupperware of lemon curd and we bought sugar cookies to sandwich the reproductions. You make REALLY good lemon curd.Mmmmmmmmm….

Haha It was on the high end of what I thought was reasonable, so I took that picture to think it over… and went back the next day to buy it! :)

PLEASE TELL ME YOU BOUGHT THAT DRESS! The only clothes I purchased over there were skirts because of the whole “all the women are 6 feet tall” problem with the length of pants!

You’ve been?? I’m so surprised by the number of people I’ve mentioned this trip to who have visited (or even lived in!) Iceland. And I’m glad you’re enjoying the posts! I’m planning to do a day-by-day recap because we went to SO many places and I have thousands of pictures/videos.
