I can’t Love everyone…

No matter how hard I try I just can’t love everyone. I find that there is always one person who hangs out in the back of my thoughts annoying me, tickling my anger or frustration. The alarm bells go off in my head frequently telling me to love, love, love when my brain so desperately wants to hang onto the negative vibes. If I am focused on a person in a negative way I notice that this person is having a really bad day and is putting out some serious negative energy. I am the magnet picking it up and making them my new target. Smacking bunnies!!! It’s really hard to control.....

Lemon Cream Cake

This is the one of the most delicious cakes I make. I have actually succumbed to Duncan Hines cake mixes after being humbled by my husbands philosphy of make it simple. I used to believe that if it isnt homemade it isnt worth my time but he told me to add a package of pudding to the cake mix and in a fit of laziness I listened. Also on the box it says to cook at 325 instead of 350 for darker pans and it produces a moist coarse crumb cake the equivalent to a cake made from scratch. I put on a layer of homemade lemon curd with my homegrown/homemade blackberry jelly and then frost with a lemon cream. The lemon cream is 2 cups whipped cream with 1/4 cup powerdered sugar, thickened with a teaspoon of hot water/knox gelatin. Then after that is all whipped in I fold in 1/1/3 cups homemade lemon curd. It is a fantastic cake.
