Don't worry, it's still Cake Week 2012. I still made lemon curd last night, and lemon meringue frosting this morning. I still substituted like a madwoman in order to bring about the Petite Lemon Layer Cake without having to make a trip to the store.

| Mine does not look like this. But it tastes like this. And that's even better. Original recipe here |
I also left my camera at home, and don't have the pictures to show you yet. So that post will come later. Right now, I'm starting to feel the need to think. To tell you other things, more than just about sugar & butter & cream. Those things are all good, in moderation excess. But there's more to life, and more to me.
Instead of telling you about cakes and whisks and what-to-do-when-you've-used-all-93-glass-bowls problems, I wanted to tell you about my garden. I love my garden. I'm so excited about what's already come up, and what is yet to go in! But, again, the whole camera thing... I could rip some pictures of my favorite plants off the interwebs, but then I'd never show you my actual pictures. And that would be a travesty.
Since I'm stuck at the office busy working, I'll just throw some awesome links at you today, give you a taste of what life will be like when I truly come out of this sugar coma I keep throwing myself in.
TCofTFW: Seriously, I wasn't even hungry last night, and I still couldn't stop eating chocolate bars. So I thought, I'll have some strawberries. And then the alien who lives in my brain and wants to give me Type II said "And I'll dip those strawberries in melted chocolate." I'm ash-med to say, I obeyed like a little drone. And I kind of liked it.

I've re-written something pithy there about 4 times. The cake at the edge of my desk keeps distracting me. So please pretend that I said something so witty, you almost want to tell people about it later, except that it's weird to talk about internet life with people in real life (anybody feel me on this?). *cue laughter*
And now, my list. Things I like, things I've found, things I'm planing to eat. An eclectic list.
