Just posted the latest and greatest on the blog. Yay. Now I get to take it easy. It was another pretty good day. I got the grocery shopping, even getting everything I need. I want to bake a chocolate cake from scratch, I needed cocoa powder. Little did I know that chocolate milk mix and cocoa powder were not the same thing. Fortunately, a more experienced baker straighten me out. I rather enjoy baking and cooking for its meditative qualities. My last baking experience was a repeat of a banana cake. The first one was less than satisfactory. The second attempt came out better, still a little under baked at the bottom and the sponge wasn't quite as moist as I prefer but edible. The frosting was quite good and took less time to do. I found an easy recipe, right above one for a layer cake. Maybe when I feel more confident, I'll attempt a layer cake. The frosting concerns me because I may not have enough ingredients for it. Okay, so it'll be a naked cake. No big deal, I've made frosting free cakes before. Anyway, the men in my life are alive and, in the case of the Brit BF, happy. I feel bad for the Sometime BF because his mum has terminal cancer and doesn't have much time. She's still hanging on like she's not ready to go. Good for her. I don't think she'll have some miraculous recovery but the longer she's alive the more reason to be grateful. Alright time to go.
