We’ve had days of this stuff they call rain in California which has given us a respite this morning. Here I am with two of my buds… hope yours is as nice!
It never rains in California?
We’ve been experience more rain than we had since 1995! It’s quite a change for people who seldom experience “weather.”

All I want for my birthday is a Black Forest Cake!
Laura has been making me Black Forest Cakes since the early 1970’s for very special occasions. They are a multilayered goodie that is filled with surprises.
There are four layers of chocolate cake with a filling on each. The bottom layer is a delicious hard icing layer protecting cherries that have been soaked in a cherry brandy, the next layer is a scrumptious chocolate mousse, the last layer is whipped cream!!! All covered with more cherries, whipped cream and milk chocolate shavings!
yummy
Just what the Doc Ordered: Etouffee !
If the doctor is Chef Paul Prudhomme, he’d probably agree that a little Cajun and Creole cooking is needed for whatever ails you… and I quite agree!
I love a seafood Etouffee with all the goodies: lobster, crab, shrimp, bay scallops, and diced clams. Of course we can’t forget a nice mirepoix, inescapable okra and a homemade seafood stock!
Bon Appetite!
Time changes us all! But love keeps us together!
Nothing like a little time to make us more like each other and reminiscent of select family features.
