We did enjoy ourselves.

But, face it, the cake isn't the reason this recipe is my favorite. It's the frosting! The cake is just a tool to hold the important stuff. :)<br /><br />I even liked that biscotti from yesterday, and I'm not usually a fan of those.<br /><br />It WAS a fun lunch and added some spice to an otherwise uneventful birthday.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-37028481879842230592011-01-01T05:17:46.346-05:002011-01-01T05:17:46.346-05:00That WAS fun.

As I told you, I think I was working on something like this in the back of my mind, but who knows how long it would have taken for it to actually formulate into action, if it hadn't been for Marilyn!<br /><br />I hope your half cake was more moist than the half I sent to Jim's lunch meeting with him. I had a leftover piece from that one later and it was too done -- not moist and gooey like you like it. If there weren't so darn many calories in it, I'd give it another try right away in the half cakes version, to see if I can pin down exactly how long to bake it this way.<br /><br />You should have told OOTP the story Sue at the tea room told us about the woman who dipped their fresh biscotti in her tea, and ended up with it floating in it in crumbles. Apparently the tradition of dipping was initiated because of rock hard biscotti, and not good when applied to that fresh biscotti! :)<br /><br />A fun lunch.Sandrahttp://addhumorandfaith.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-22210842593996029262010-12-31T22:54:07.920-05:002010-12-31T22:54:07.920-05:00You're a cruel woman, Betsy...mentioning Weigh...You're a cruel woman, Betsy...mentioning Weight Watchers in the same breath with my favorite cake. :) No, it's not a WW recipe.

I really hadn't minded the no-fuss birthday of yesterday, but I confess that it was a spirit lifter to have these ladies want to see that the occasion wasn't totally without celebration.<br /><br />Doug is eating a little better today. That's encouraging. He has a doctor appointment on Monday, so maybe we'll learn more then.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-51422847020245815482010-12-31T17:27:18.283-05:002010-12-31T17:27:18.283-05:00I recognized Sandy's smiling face straight awa...I recognized Sandy's smiling face straight away.
