Surpise Guests

Happy Mother's Day to All

Yesterday evening, we get a call in the style "Hello Ill be coming over tomorow for supper as we had discussed!"
I dont recall ever having this discussion with our guest but I figure that it most likely O that had made plans that he forgot to tell me about, or that he forgot all together. So I spent last eve ning vacuuming our home and putting away all my knitting and magazines that have been lying around. This morning I finish the laundry, clean our bedrooms and make a meal plan for supper. Spent the afternoon making a lasagna and a big nice chocolate cake!! Cake two of my "best cake ever" project

The results of my first cake: disappointing . I mean it was an okay cake...but I dont want an okay cake; I want a wonderful cake. So today I was making a chocolate cake accompanied with a chocolate buttercream frosting, recipes from America's Test Kitchen : Family Cookbook which is, in my opinion, a very good cookbook. It was everything, its tasty and simple. It was given to me by my good friend (blog: In The Life of Wifey) who I dont think knew the treasure she was giving away. I might buy a copy and give it to her to thank her for it!

So far, the frosting is way creamier and lighter than the first one. My only ick with chocolate frosting is that it might be harder to decorate, but hey its mothers day and I felt like chocolate frosting! The cake seems fluffy and its quite tasty (dont tell my guest but I had a little chunk from the center of the bottom layer).

Oh and luckily for me, guess whose showing up: THE SUN!!!!

Truly yours,
Cyn
