Before & After




Tomorrow is Tom's birthday. Seeing as we all have either work or school, I made a cake today. Here are some before and after photos. I also tried to make Heidi's chicken cacciatore recipe with the polenta. The cacciatore was fine but I misjudged the timing of the polenta. It was described by the kids as having a glue like consistency.... Heidi's was really good. Not glue like at all. Oh well, at least the carrot cake was a hit.

I'll be right over! Carrot Cake is my favorite. I really enjoy seeing everyone's pictures. Love to all.

Just add more chickenstock to the polenta if it gets to thick to get to the right consistency. Happy Birthday Tom!

Happy Birthday Alison!

I don't think I have an email address for you, so this will have to do. This carrot Cake looked GREAT! Will you make another for yourself?
