Last week....

If you have been keeping up with the blog, you may remember that last week was a birthday week around here.  Often there are some surprises that appear.  This is one such surprise.


The Husband quipped how appropriate it was, especially with that number in the upper left corner corresponding with the age of the "birthday girl." That Husband - trying to be funny!  He was a "younger man" only two days!  His birthday is two days following mine.

So, I got right to work on it!:-)





This first attempt was a huge success!!  Now - to decide on the next one!  I'll keep you informed!

  4. WOW!! That looks really yummy, and I'm sure The Husband enjoyed his share of it! I'm continually surprised by the things one can do with iron cookware, and I'll bet that cookbook will see lots of use. Have a great afternoon, Sister!

  15. Nellie, My daughter Karen got a new iron skillet for mother's day. She was so happy. She tried to treat it so it would be what she wanted...but things are sticking to it. I told her to look on line and see the proper way to treat it. Love your cake...so tasty looking. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
