Aw, get well soon, chris .. Cake is life, right? LOL

it's the truth... Wayne often hears of my desperate need/desire for cake. Made me laff too ..

Sorry your hubby isn't well. I hope he feels better soon! This place don't change ... lol.... Here, there be Food!

You can ask @Wayne Gray about how i often i moan about needing cake.. with thick thick thick! icing. We get lots of gifts from the bank while working from home, snack boxes, a planter, a massive blanket/tent, yoga mat and exercise stuff, more snacks, other stuff.. but no cake or donuts. LOL I needed cake so dug out this recipe and fixed it up for us. i will write it out for you, it's really nice and not oily. i can't eat stuff like that now, so i reduce the oil in most things by half. I've been making Oatmeal blueberry muffins from Sally's Baking Addiction ... i use the ap flour and the butter, but the sweetener is only a half cup of honey... they are delicious. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/blueberry-oatmeal-muffins/ As you know i love her morning glory muffins .. much less oily then shop bought.

I'd recommend adding the lime juice if you have fresh, or even some lemon, it really brightens things up. Start with 1/2 the amount they recommend. Remember, buy the lightest coloured limes they have in the store. Today, i am baking my carrot cake. It's mine now because I've changed it enough to say that. Much less sugar, reduced flour .. replaced by oat flour, 2 cups of carrots, an apple, applesauce, pecans, unsweetened coconut and unsweetened pineapple, 1/2 the oil, addition of flax. It's a great cake. I do frost it with a cream cheese/butter frosting. Even with that, it doesn't seem to bother Michael's blood sugar very much. The weather is grotty ... now it's time to have some tea (I've given up coffee due to stomach issues) and some early lunch or late breakfast. Have a great Saturday.

oh, i'm sure they can ... bears like their food.

back from the shrink and the dentist.. both were painful ... more dentist next week.

hehe, i like your weird brain!

Rice, any kind, seems to really hit Michael's blood sugar, so we rarely eat it. There is none in the house currently, but i bet i can tinker with the recipe and use cauliflower rice instead.

NO!! don't go.. but wow, lol, that would be a lot of rice ... the recipe looks nice though, thanks for sharing it

it was very dreary wasn't it ... i worked so didn't see much of the weather. bit brighter now.. i'm glad you're seeing the robins.

I've not read that, but i'll certainly have a look, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the first part. Hope like the rest.

Cop show .. set in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The actress is awful but it was so badly written it wouldn't matter who it was in it. And the ending... in a time where so many things just stop without really ending ... this ended with something so unbelievable and stupid i cannot believe anyone could say it was a good show. It was moronic.

If you get the chance to watch, BETTER ... do not .. never, never ...JUST DON'T. That is all.

Glad you're writing ... i write most days but have no desire to post it.

it's gotta warm up a bit soon i hope.

alot of the snow is gone.. it's like 40F / 4C here.. and nice and sunny.. hope you didn't do too much!

Happy March This is what we woke up to after a March blizzard last night.

i guess the opposite is true as well ...

The weather and the changes in it are not good news anywhere ... glad you are okay.

thank you for watching over the place ... i hope you're doing well xoxo

Yes! i love writing real human beings, flaws and all. We all mess up, hate, love, laugh and have doubts. Another great piece. Thank you.
