Lazy Daisy Cake

A queen among cakes. Definitely deserves its own post! Here is the recipe my grandma wrote out in the book for my mom to give her when she went off to get married: And here is a typed version in case you find that squinty. And here are some photos of the cake today, the first time my son has had it. The teenagers, who had no previous experience of Lazy Daisy Cake, were shocked when I cut it into squares instead of pie shapes, but I explained, it is traditionally 16 squares in the square cake pan and just because I used a round pan is no reason to buck tradition. Extensive experimentation on which shape tastes better ensued, with Yarrow claiming that the centre point of the pie-shape piece was the "pinaccle" of the cake as it had an optimum icing-cake ratio, but Cambrie and I disputed that. Remarks: "I know why this tastes so good, it's the rose water." "I can't taste the rose water." "Yes you can, you just don't

Treasure for Free

Today I left my son in an overground climate-controlled bubble, doing things with other Earthlings, and walked over land to a subterranean chamber I know, where someone had told me I could obtain a magic token to get a treasure I spied last week.

So then with a little more convincing the male human in the subterranean chamber was going to his googlemachine to look it up but he realized of /course/ he knew where the magic token subchamber was, down the hall and on the right. So I went there and said, "can I have a magic token please? I used to have a magic token for this place, and there is treasure that I want in another subterranean chamber.&quo

No More Excuses.What Kids Can Get for Free If You'll Let Them: Raise a Gentleman/Lady

There are many incredible social benefits that most parents and grandparents in my generation totally omit to give their children. Believe me, it shows. And then those same people complain about kids. If you have ever complained about your own kids or your own grandkids, or some kids close to you, here are some things you can do. Because if you are complaining, that means that you see a need for change, and if there's a need for change, then you can be part of it. Put your money (or more important, your time!) where your mouth is. PARENTS can decide to seek out, and allow, the following opportunities for their children. NON-PARENTS (grandparents, neighbours, etc.) can start to liaise more with parents about providing these kinds of opportunities. For the purposes of this article, I am going to use church as an example. It happens that many social benefits can be derived for free at church, and maybe in some other community organizations too.
