15 Random Things About Tiffany

I thought I would share a list of random things about myself that I bet you didn't know.



1. I attended the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco for Baking and Pastry Arts, which makes me a pastry chef! I have worked in a few different bakeries and restaurants making pastries and occasion cakes. My favorite things to make are plated desserts and wedding cakes. Ironically, I have been diagnosed with Celiac, which means I can't have gluten because I can't digest it. So now I make everything gluten free!



2. I want to be a Mythbuster!



3. I cut my sister's hair off when I was little.



4. I LOVE watching birds...I guess that makes me a bird watcher :)



5. I can't eat hot dogs. I think they are so nasty!



6. I wanted to be a brain surgeon when I was a little girl. I used to watch shows on PBS of different surgeries that I'm not sure I could handle watching now.



7. I use the exclamation point (!) and the smiley face :) way too much when blogging or talking on Facebook.



8. I go out of my way to step on particularly crunchy looking leaves during autumn.



9. I LOOOOVE the I Love Lucy Show! Love it!!!



10. I would rather eat raw cookie dough than eat a baked cookie. Although, I do like baked cookies, too :)



11. I used to love dipping my Wendy's french fries into my Frosties. Unfortunately, I can't have the fries anymore since there is the chance of having gluten in them. I sure miss it, though! I can still have the Frosties (woohoo!)



12. I used to have lots of goldfish. My most recent fish was named Fillmore.



13. I have dyed my hair so many colors, I can't remember them all. This includes pink, blue, green, orange, purple, red and the more natural blondes and browns. Right now, my hair is brownish.



14. I am growing a Meyer Lemon tree in my house. I really hope that it fruits next year...I think it will be about 4 years old, so it should be at maturity soon :) Lemons are my all time favorite fruit, and Meyer Lemons are the best because they are a cross between a regular lemon and a Mandarin Orange. mmmmmm!



15. My favorite candies are Smarties, Jelly Bellies and pretty much any fruity candy. I do have an appreciation for quality chocolate, as well :) I mostly like to snack on nuts these days...they are so good!



Stay tuned for 15 random things about Mark!

Winter Wonderland!

Although it is still October, Colorado has had quite a lot of snow in the past couple of days! I decided to make a quick video to share with you what things look like outside right now. The news is saying that the snow should stop sometime tonight, and by this weekend, Denver will be back in the 60's! So, I suppose that's Colorado for ya! Blizzard one day, and warm days after that. I expect that the snow should be pretty well melted within a day or two :)

Our New Video

We have made a new and updated video to help you get to know us better! It is a selection of photos that hopefully shows a little bit about who we are and what we like to do!

To pause the blog music so that you can watch the video without 2 songs playing at once, scroll down and click the pause button on the music player located on the right hand side bar.

Enjoy!

Mark and Tiff's Playlist

We have created a playlist so that you can get to know us through the music we like! We tend to like a large range of music, and we have very different styles. Tiff's music is a bit more eclectic, with ska, punk, alternative, reggae, classic rock and indie, where Mark leans toward the opposing heavier and softer styles. He enjoys a lot of classic rock, as well as 90's grunge, heavier rock and American folk music. We seem to get along musically, and we tolerate each other's music fairly well! Only on rare occasions do we really disagree about an artist.

Mark's favorites are Amos Lee, Ray LaMontaigne, Snow Patrol, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Flogging Molly, and The Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Tiff's favorites are The Cure, The Dandy Warhols, The Smiths, The Ramones, The Aquabats, Toots and The Maytals, and Van Morrison.

Our playlist should automatically start playing, and if you would like to rewind, skip or pause a song, you can find the player on the right hand side bar.

Enjoy!
