i <3 doctor hectic & susie cupcakes!
This morning, a co-worker sent an email out saying he had brought in muffins and scones from the Cheeseboard, one of my favorite places in Berkeley. Sadly, being in Portland, I am unable to partake of the goodies. (I wonder if he'd be willing to bring some in next week when I am in the office?) That got me thinking of making muffins and I dug out the "Granny's Muffin House" cookbook I received from Susie Cupcakes and Doctor Hectic. I was paging through it and thinking of the muffins Susie Cupcakes made last fall when she and Doctor Hectic were in SF for OrphanStu & Michelle's wedding, and was on my way to picking a recipe to try during lunch when the doorbell rang.
It was the mailman with a box! Hooray, more fun mail! And lo and behold, it was from Doctor Hectic & Susie Cupcakes! What could it be? Quite possibly, the two best books ever written. I must post quick pics. Sorry for the blurriness.
GricklePants is going to piss himself when he sees this:
And this:
(I'll have clean underpants waiting at home.)
And then, there was this:
And this gem from page 129:
"Wood paneling, like other wall coverings too expensive for wide use in the past, is now readily accessible at low cost. The warm glow of wood is a perfect foil for the spare, clean lines of modern furnishings."
Well don't that beat all. This house is all about the warm glow of wood -- it's in every single room!
Really, I will post pics of the shrine to '59 soon! Stay tuned!

OMFG!!!!
I did totally just pee myself!
OMG.
This is going to be a long uncomfortable afternoon at work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the good doctor and his accomplice, Ms. Cupcakes!
wow. I had no idea home ownership came with such perks.
I should have packaged those books in Depends™ adult undergarments!
Those are treasures from our local library, purchased at the ongoing book sale, not stolen. I saw the hockey book and I knew right where it belonged.
And not that you folks need any decorating help, but that other book does have some fantastic rooms in it.
Enjoy!
HAHA! those books are quite breathtaking.
You headin' over to the bogies for the back-yard bash this long weekend??
I think i may be making the trip north myself.
