Ugh. Cakes are in the oven. Almond flour and almond extract used. Did a marbling effect so almond/marzipan cake mixed into a gardellis chocolate. With marzipan mixed into the “white” cake.
Then tomorrow I will make one orange mirror glaze and one chocolate and swirl them over the cake.
Unfortunately on the way home.. it hit me that this is the last cake I will be baking her while she is home as she is graduating high school early this May.

1 point? Wow, ya think you can spare it o mighty dark lord? I think you forgot a few zeros after the one. Crass demand should be rewarded. Sporky wants more points. Reconsider your plus one and add a few zeros afterwards because Sporky is quite deserving of many major awards although my preference is to maintain this awesome Spork. I most unhumbly request that you reconsider your one point and make it 1000.
You do realise that if you get a 1000 you will never retain your spork!

I don’t actually want to call anyone out. It’s too,much fun reading what they’re posting. I have never been a competitive person at the best of times so I’ll take part, enjoy and leave the serious points stuff to others :D
mmmm I cannot figure out what your mission is yet. As you seem to be your normal self. You are making this very difficult Linda. Just saying.

Good mornooning everyone. Today, we are heading to the River Otter in the hope of spotting Beavers... Really!

Nobody is entirely sure how beavers came to set up home on this river in Devin, but the Environment Agency has decided they can stay. European beavers were once in Britain, but were hunted to extinction. There are hopes that their controlled reintroduction will reduce flooding problems in some areas.
mmmm. Very interesting. I would love to see some pictures of any Beavers and their house if at all possible. I remember the ones in Narnia and I was quite impressed with their little houses. ;)

For me there were only two options. It either had to be the color blue or water. But I will be a little more sane this time and wait a few days to see what pans out.
maybe I should have said to see what the tide brings in. I wiggle my eyebrows up and down suggestively.

Oh I want to say it, I really do but I am scared that the Dark Lord is going to take me and hang me from the highest beams somewhere high up in these really cold and dark rooms. ? I will bite my tongue for a while. And keep it in. Wait I will tell my kids then at least I don't have to hold it in. I have heard that it is bad for you to hold things in you know.
Although my kids are going to think that I have finally lost it and just might send me to the nut house. So if I disappear for a while, don't worry I have just gone for some psychiatric help.
