Thurs 23 Jan

My thighs have been sore for the past day or so. Had to take ibuprofen twice to get through the night without being kept awake by sore muscles. I still feel them this morning. I guess my exercise has had a lot of squats this week. Tomorrow evening we are going to the fundraiser party Passport to Paradise for Boys and Girls Club. They have a nice buffet, tropical drinks, and a live band with salsa/Cuban music for dancing. There is a big money silent auction that is fun to peruse and not even tempting on the price tags. As I recall, there were big screen TVs and the main prize was a weekend flight with the Noels to St. Maarten that went for about $5000. A bit out of our range, eh? I had that "comfort food" hankering to bake a Betty Crocker coffee cake today. I couldn't figure out why it didn't raise as high in the pan as it usually does, then I realized that I haven't made one in so long that I forgot I'm supposed to make 1 1/2 recipes to fill a 9x13 pan.
