Notes for the week:

1. I prefer a more traditional clam sauce, maybe with a little cream.  That said, the Monday recipe wasn't bad.

2. Cupcakes, that was tough.  Do not subsitute plain sugar with granular sugar.  I will try next week for Sydney's birthday cupcakes.

3. One good thing I did this week was use up the basil later in the week for the Apt. Pizza, which wasn't bad.  However, will I ever find a really good pre-made thin crust?

4. I skipped the Lasagna because family was in town - korean food for the whole weekend.
