HOLIDAY WEEK-END

It's a Holiday week-end and we have been observing it with due respect.
We have been remembering by watching the best war films made...
The Longest Day
TORA TORA TORA
Midway
Gettysburg
all the while
 knitting


and
summerizing


and
 making the most technical cake I have ever tried.


I have never made such a cake.
The batter was like cream


Three pans of cake


Lemon curd and Italian cheese


Layered and layered again


A whipped cream, cream cheese, Italian cheese white frosting


with lemon curd between the layers



And the Grand Finale
{ you can find the recipe here}
We will be trying this tonight and then bringing half to my sister's for a smoked turkey dinner on Memorial Day.

What have you been up to?

You've been busy! Your cake looks terrific. It's fun to experiment.

We unfortunately found out on Friday that a family member was killed in Afghanistan. So this Memorial Day has taken on a whole new meaning for our family.

Everyone should watch those war movies. We have no idea how hard life was in those wars or what these brave Americans sacrificed for our fredoms.
