So... I spent all of yesterday thinking that it was Thursday. I didn't realize until the evening that it was actually Friday.
Oops.
I haven't really been sleeping too well. Babyworm likes to kick all night long. I can only imagine how sleep deprived I'll be once she's born. Yikes.
One of the other pregnancy issues I've been dealing with recently is frequent hunger. Very frequent. I'm eating every few hours these days. And when you put together a blog post while hungry, you end up with this:
From the top:
Chocolate and sprinkle covered pretzels, recipe available from Cupcakes and Cashmere
Homemade lemon-lime soda, recipe available from I Am Mommy (for more awesome homemade soda recipes, see the most recent issue of Sweet Paul. I've also posted my super-simple fresh lime soda recipe below.)
Mehndi biscuit, available from Blueberry Blue
Fresh strawberry pie, recipe available from Salad in a Jar (this is almost the same as a pie my mom always made when I was a kid, except she made her own pie crust--the best part of the pie. It's also great with peaches instead of strawberries.)
French sea salt butter caramels, available from Fusion Sweets (I'm dying to try their Masala Chai caramels!)
Super Easy Lime Soda Concentrate
Ingredients:
Limes, sugar, water
Juice your limes, measure the juice, and set to the side. (To end up with about 1 liter of soda, you'll need about 12 limes.)
Measure out the same amount of water and sugar. (So, if you have 1 cup of lime juice, you'll need 1 cup each of water and sugar.)
Put the water and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once all the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and leave to cool. Now you have simple syrup!
Once the simple syrup has cooled, mix in the lime juice.
To serve, mix with either fizzy or flat water to taste. I like about a 1/4 ratio. The concentrate will store in a tightly closed bottle in the fridge for about a week. I haven't tried freezing it yet, but I bet it will freeze beautifully.

your artfire link doesn't work, there's an extra "http" in there I think.
