Had a bit of hard time figuring out how to access that tasty looking cake - I've cut out all sweets except a couple since Dec/21 and was SALIVATING looking at that cake. Then it didn't matter - I have a recipe from my grandmother for chocolate cake with fluffy white icing that I could make into 2 layers....baked it for my oldest brother for years when I lived in his house, as he, lean mean no fat machine, loved it. In the meantime, just renewed my subscription because I retire in a few weeks and need to re-connect with me, which means writing. Prompts, articles, etc. and finishing a couple of novels, creating a memoir??? - people tell me I should but I know I'm boring - by going through boxes and finding all my journals....OK, I'm blithering....time to do my floor exercieses.

We will hold you to the cake baking, Amy! (And I have experienced your brownies...mmm.) Post a pic.

Thank you for renewing your subscription--I do so appreciate. YES to finishing the novel! YES to working on a memoir...! YES!

(What is it about the phrase "fluffy icing?" Makes me want to get out the bowl and mixer.)
