One and Done

Thaht's right...DONE. the itch is over. The pound cake is history. Woo...lots of fun but this pound cake receipe makes a whole lot of volume. I was wearing the cake during the get it into the pan part of the experiment. The bowl kept slipping out of my hands. I sprayed the bunt pan a whole bunch dumped the batter in and then into the oven for 90 minutes at 300 degrees. And when the cake needed to leave the pan it absolutely didn't want to show a whole lot of success. In fact it was a complete disaster. It flunked. But I did my part and it's now history. I would say that the whole experiment has no need to be repeated. That cake is way to sweet. Another receipe called for a whole box of brown sugar plus one more cup. What are they thinking as my friend Marcia would say! I completed the kitchen project with carrot soup. It also has potatoes and tomatoes along with onions and a clove of garlic and a shake of cumin. I'm better with soup. The what's left, and there was plenty, found it's way outside for the night critters. It was rejected by them as well. My bet is that sugar is not on their diet plan. I finished off the day by watching basketball. Turnament time. Great ball playing for sure and susprise, surprise, Indiana is still playiing and no surprise Purdue is also in the fight. It was a fun evening. Today Purdue playes Michigan State Spartans. It should be a great afternoon. Indiana plays Iowa. It will be a tough match. Iowa is on their game. Fingers crossed. Today is Bread and Bowl morning at church so I'm off to meet my church and community friends this morning. It will be a great start to the weekend.

    Well, you answered my big question: as hard as the making was, did the pound cake TASTE good? But it seems that even the animals were not pleased. Carrots, onions, tomatoes with garlic and cumin sound much better to me. In fact, we may have something like that at lunch today because Br. Philip is cooking and he makes things like that. I am hoping that he will think that this cold day (in the 20s!) is curry weather! ! ! I love curry.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
