  • Cake. It isn't just for dessert anymore.
    I made a Priscilla cake last night with chocolate frosting. While it wasn't the prettiest cake I've ever made, it sure  was tasty.  I had the last of it for breakfast this morning with two cups of coffee. Not the breakfast of a woman dedicated to losing weight.  Now the thing is gone and I won't be making more. I'm pretty sure, anyways.   Lately, I've been on a bit of a baking kick. Lemon coconut cake for a birthday at work. Sour cream coffee cake, again, taken to work.   But this Priscilla cake with chocolate frosting- one of my favorites and only made for The Chief and me. I adore the flavors of butter, sugar and vanilla. Chocolate brings a perfect balance to the mix.

    Meanwhile, a quiet Valentine's Day for the two of us. The Chief is outside splitting firewood and making kindling. LoraBoraLabraDora is burying her toys in the snowy yard.  Two grey squirrels are mounting an attack on the cylindrical bird feeder hanging from a tender sapling at the edge of frozen Frog pond.  I don't have to leave our mountain sanctuary for any reason at all. This makes me peaceful and happy.

    Blessings abound
