Cake for Mommy




I hope your Mother's day (where applicable!) was as good as mine.

I was treated to breakfast in bed, wonderful gifts (CSI fingerprinting kit!), and dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant.

This was followed by a slice of Dairy Queen ice cream 'cake'. I write it 'cake', because it's cake-shaped, rather than cake-based.

It's been years since I'd had one, so yum.

It was a good day, and we have plenty of ice cream left over, which is great, what with the consistent 80+ degrees...





Blog Party#22 is here, and this month, we're taking on the Wild, Wild West!
There's just a few days left to turn your favorite Western dishes into appetizers, and cocktails/mocktails, and join the party.
Entries are due this Thursday, 17 May; you can leave a comment here, or email your links to thehappysorceress at gmail dot com. Hope to see you there!

This is how the cake looked when I waved goodbye to it. If it still resembled the picture by the time it reached it's destination, I've yet to learn. Because both my Saturday & Sunday were kind of busy, and as Tuesdays are regular dinner-with-the-in-laws...

- Rained Out
Saturday, we had plans to take in our first drive-in movie of the season, Spiderman 3. We were to leave around five-thirty, wait in line for the gates to open at seven (the best way to get a good 'seat'), then set up our chairs around the car...

- Wdb: It's Much Too Hot Out There!
So, the pups stay indoors, where it's much cooler Doolin, sitting directly to my right, refused to look at me or the camera. This is the best shot, the little brat. Wicklow always manages to look so very put-upon. The pooch is living the good...

- Good Morning, Sunshine
Some days, a fancy breakfast can be too much. Mondays, for example. Days like this, a simple coffee cake is exactly what you need. There's something so perfect about the simple batter, and the aroma of the crumb topping. So easy to prepare, and...
