Last weekend was our little town's annual celebration and a new thing this year was a dessert contest. Well, I baked 2 pans of Caramel Chocolate Bars. Very gooey and rich. Yummy looking yes? Well, they didn't win anything....not that I expected to. :)
Then within 3 days of each other is DH and 1st DDIL's birthdays. So I baked a cake. New recipe for both the cake and the frosting. Was a bit sweet and I doubled the frosting recipe and got a bit carried away with how much I put on. Do you see the overhang on the side of the cake? Yeah, a bit much.
Yesterday was our annual wheat test plot tour and I cooked a picnic supper for afterwords. Calico beans, pulled BBQ beef, brats, potato salad, buns and brownies. Sorry, no picture of the food....it was mostly eaten and the leftovers given to family. But this is the mess that I faced this morning. Augh.
And I've done just a bit of knitting. This is the 3rd and probably last little hat I'm doing for our grandbaby due the end of September. I think it's the cutest one. It's a combination of patterns. The hat is "Little Rosebud" by Rita Weiss and the flower is crocheted and is part of the pattern for "New York Skully" by Nancy Brown. The yarn is RY Cashsoft Baby DK. Very nice yarn, BTW.
