Brown Butter Pumpkin Cupcakes and Moving

So this was the last recipe I made for my job at Adapt. It is Brown butter pumpkin cupcakes and I got it from Pinterest.
And I made it so long ago and got rid of the recipe, so I can't tell you exactly what's in each picture, but I can guess!
Hmm...I'm guessing eggs and possibly something else?
 All the dry ingredients...
 No wait, there's the eggs...no idea what the first picture was... Mix in a can of pumpkin, brown sugar, possibly some oil...
 And there's the batter...
 Ready to bake.
 All done, they smelled so good.
 And now for browning some butter....
 Which you then add some more stuff to...
 And that's the frosting...
 You were supposed to dip the cupcakes in the brown butter icing, but it was so thick that I had to drizzle it on with a spoon.
 All ready to go...these were really good, but reeaaalllly rich! Which is why I threw away the recipe, cause it was too much richness for me!
 Some more pics of my packing process...

Candy sleighs, books and apartment

Here's a project from Pinterest I tried: Candy Sleighs
I made only 6 and gave them to only some certain special people.
 The next book I read was The Hunger Games. Finally got to it after already seeing the movie. I was surprised at how closely the movie followed the original book.
 The next book I picked was the complete works of William Shakespeare...which I really tried to start reading, but I am not a Shakespeare reader...so it just went straight to the bookshelf...
 Here are some pics of my new apartment from my first tour of it:
Master bathroom
 Master bedroom
 Guest bedroom/office
 Main bathroom
 Kitchen

 Living room
 Laundry room minus the bookshelf
 And the front of the building....

Random things from end of November...

I just finally got my computer back after it has been broken for a month. So this is the first of some overdue blog posts that will be coming out in the next few weeks.
First pic is my Christmas tree all set up in my now old apartment...
 The next book I read was a psychology textbook from a library book sale. It just reminded me that I actually know what I'm talking about in my job!
 The Cubs wreath I made for my mom for Christmas...
 And the very first of many more process pictures of me packing and moving...more updates to come!
