"I AINTE DED" as Granny Weatherwax would say....
I just forgot my password for my site. Yes, silly me. But I remembered it again, by haps, actually, and so I thought I'd update life as I know it today.
It's nice and warm. The flower beds are weeded. The lawn needs mowing.
A new neighbor moved in across the street, a nice family with 2 boys. The divorced next door neighbor has a girlfriend, and she has 2 little ones. The sound of children was heard all over this past weekend. This is fine with me. Sometimes my neighborhood is TOO QUIET.
You could say: Gas prices are inching up -- but it's more like the inchworm is riding a Harley. Summer is going to be ugly at the pump again. Oh joy.
You know that little line at the bottom of the container of Duncan Hines Frosting - the one that says 'will frost an 8" layer cake? well.... they LIE. You can MAYBE frost the top. Thinly. PERHAPS you can get 3 cupcakes well topped. That's it.
If you're looking to frost the whole of a double layer cake, with frosting in the middle of the two layers, and you also want frosting on the sides of the cake, AND you want more than a 'WAFFER THIN' layer on top, take my advise and get 4 LARGE containers. You'll thank me later, when you don't have to go out to the store to buy more frosting.
On the plus side, there's no mistaking the cake I made for Frank for his birthday as being store bought. :-)


Mayhap thou wilst commit thy password unto parchment for future reference? A quill and ink are of common usage yet.
