In desperate need of some Christmas Cheer?- Hot Buttered Rum
This has not been a great year. My husband got laid off from his crappy job with a long commute (30 miles. Through a winding canyon. Full of looky-loo tourists. Took him an hour each way) thanks to Obamacare. I was worried- I can't even tell you how desperately we needed that income, but within … Continue reading In desperate need of some Christmas Cheer?- Hot Buttered Rum

The Best Carrot Cake Ever- Carrot Cake Trifle
I have learned that carrot cake is a funny thing. You either love it or you run screaming from the person who dared utter the term. The reason is understandable; it's basically fruitcake and we have all been well versed throughout life on the evils of fruitcake. However I like fruitcake- IF it's made correctly. … Continue reading The Best Carrot Cake Ever- Carrot Cake Trifle
