Google says Gordon Ramsay is the #1 Chef in the world. I no longer aspire to be Betty Crocker… I want Gordon’s $190 million dollar empire. If I owned a cake plate, I might just soar right past him.
I made another lemon and blueberry bundt cake yesterday in my new and trusty Wal-mart bundt pan. I changed up the icing and this dessert was amazing! But it’s ugly!
It’s ugly because I don’t own anything other than a dinner plate to put a cake on. My plates are square and turn up on each of the four corners. That means my cakes sink in the middle and sort of fall in. One step at a time… first a bundt pan and next a cake plate. Look out, Gordon! Here I come.
I might also deserve an honorable mention for gardening, as well.
Ben and Coco rolled in on a Mothers Day 3 or 4 years ago with a scraggly plant and a blue pot in a plastic bag. Colette pushed the flower into the blue pot (without using additional potting soil) and proudly presented it to me. I got it in the ground before it died and today it’s about to bloom. 🙂
COVID-19 today: Rhode Island and Missouri are still in the red zone for COVID risk. Florida is in the orange (accelerated spread risk) and Indiana is finally in the yellow, but only barely. Yesterday, Santa Claus Land/Holiday World lifted mask requirements at the park for all those fully vaccinated. Basically, people can choose to wear or not wear a mask because their rule is: “We will rely on our Guests to follow the guidelines based on their vaccination status.“
