Cakes, Shakes and Other Benign Musings...


My version of an elegant cake...lol...Well, I tried!


Top view, of course...


Independence Day cake...



And after all that cake... (nope, I was good!  I had my Keto Chow shake...I'm doing the Carnivore Diet.  Already lost 6.5lbs in two weeks.  Slow and steady.  It'd be more if I walked more but, with cake making and helping hubby out in the wood shop, just no time.)


Also made more cake flour...Sorry but...I'm not paying $13.58 for 32oz of Swans Cake flour!!  I'll make my own, thank you very much!  Here's the link...




I find it's a great idea to cover your scale with plastic wrap...


This is why...I'm a pig in the kitchen...lol


Then I packed up my big bag of All Purpose flour for storage.  I usually use three cups in my baking so, thats how I stored it in small paper bags.  Stuck them in the freezer for three days to kill any insect eggs or undesirables, took them out this morning to be stored in a food safe bucket for long term storage.  With inflation, you HAVE to think ahead!  And it's only going to get worse...


Ordered this housecoat, beach coat, for our soon to be here great-granddaughter... from Amazon weeks and weeks ago...the postal service lost it...then it mysteriously shows up here last night!  No notice sent!  Everything is crazy these days!


Larry's breakfast this morning...NOT mine, darn it...remember?  I had my shake...


Found this image of Jesus on the internet...I love it!  Long story but, this is how I see him.  There was the light skinned and dark-skinned peoples from his time in the middle east.  He was of the fair skinned peoples...in MY opinion.  We each see and feel different things...



Self-explanatory...  



So is this...Lolol

Y'all have a sweet and peaceful week!!
