Cake, Lud.

A few people asked me for the recipe to the spice cake with butternut squash that I mentioned, so I hunted it up online:

I just finished icing it and putting the candied ginger on it, and I don't know that I'm going to be able to wait until Rick gets home from his birthday mountain bike ride to dig in.
Mmm....

That looks really good :-) And the knitting you had yesterday was really pretty. I hope all of the birthday celebrations are happy and much family fun.

Take care.

Ooooh...you are a model of self-restraint if you managed to wait. That discipline alone should give you a free pass on the next impulse yarn purchase. =)

Happy birthday to Rick, and thanks for the recipe!

Oh yum. Here's another great recipe, if you're interested, better even than my mom's blueberry cake:

Extremely good stuff and even better the next day.
