Happy Birthday, darling

Today is my younger son's birthday. He's ten. The past years have flown by, I look at him and I am amazed at how big he's getting. My memories of when & how I went into labor are crystal clear, but don't ask me where my copy of Cake Doctor went. I promised DS I'd make him the buttercream & lime curd recipe for tonight. Instead, we've decided on a key lime recipe I found on Recipe*zaar. It's bizarre, really. I just had the damned book yesterday.

So other than rushing to the grocery store, doing several errands, & playing chauffeur- I've plenty of time to bake his Key Lime Cake. HAHAHA. Because, you see, the new recipe calls for different supplies than the Cake Doctor recipe. A mother's work is never done, or some such trite saying.

Anyhow, I've pulled Adele Ashworth's Duke of Sin out of my TBR. I can't decide if I'll actually read it this weekend or return it & choose something shorter. We're going out of town this weekend & I'm unsure if I'll be able to settle in & really pay attention to this.

Happy Birthday to your not so little one.

I love the recipe*zaar, great website.

I've read Duke of Sin and enjoyed it, never understood what all the fuss was about.

Tara- I don't remember 'the fuss' at all. What was the controversy?
