A February Afternoon

Indoors, outdoors. Baking bread, gathering kindling, building a fire. It's all art, isn't it?

Happy Valentine's Day!

This is your brain...


This is your brain on Red Velvet Cake.

I'm gonna make me one o' THESE today! Mmmmmm, hmmmmm! My best friend from high school introduced me to Red Velvet Cake back in 1971. Her mother made it with a cooked butter cream frosting, but I'm seeing lots of versions with cream cheese frosting, which is also delicious, so.......I'm in a quandary about which to use. My mother never made this recipe, but she did make another reddish looking cake that had a cream cheese frosting, Tomato Soup Cake! That's right, a can of Campbell's tomato soup goes into that cake! It's a spice cake, and it was (and still is) a family favorite! What's cookin' at your house?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! xoxoxo
