We live in zone 6a and I have been gardening and cooking for years. This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you my success and those failures that come about on occasion. Plus, I want to hear from all the gardeners and bakers and cooks out there and learn from you. Feel free to share your ideas.

Today Is My Birthday--Yipee

I love birthdays, even if it is someone else's birthday. Although my H and I are not big sweet eaters, we will go to Graeters most likely and get a piece of chocolate cake to celebrate this weekend. We no longer bake or purchase a cake---tooo much sweet stuff hanging around after the BD.  However, when I turned 40 my husband made a homemade red velvet cake for me. As he was serving it, he said that the recipe did not state how many eggs to add. He added 4 as a best guess. Let me tell you that was one good cake.

Now if I could get rid of this darn cold--that would be a perfect BD gift :)
