All I had to read was"tea" and I was connected to your writing. I smiled all the way through reading this one and my smile got broader as the paragraphs went on. Downton Abbey and Daisy...what great images! I have watched the whole series through twice and cannot wait for more. It is the best show I have seen in many, many years.<br /><br />Thank you for such wonderful writing and lovely sketches and paintings, and for the smile that I needed today. I will be a regular visitor from now on!Frankyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-19044944904959457782012-04-24T18:31:18.242-04:002012-04-24T18:31:18.242-04:00I know I wasn't supposed to laugh when I read ...I know I wasn't supposed to laugh when I read this, but I have to admit I did once I read about you running outside with the smoking mixer in hand. Years ago, a friend (who was coming for lunch) arrived in my driveway just in time to see a smoking cake fly out the front door and into the snowbank. The lesson learned out of THAT debacle was that one shouldn't expect a butter/sugar topped cake put under the broiler to brown to be left unattended. Needless to say, we didn't get to eat cake for lunch! Yours, btw, looks awfully good.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-4097464736489937822012-04-22T12:17:05.797-04:002012-04-22T12:17:05.797-04:00Mmm looks good, and the addition of the lemonglaze...Mmm looks good, and the addition of the lemonglaze.....perfeck !dogonarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039309898163644561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-65382608980689441202012-04-22T11:57:37.302-04:002012-04-22T11:57:37.302-04:00Your cakes look lovely.
