Here's looking at you!


I'm giving Jill a little rest from the Blog, and I'm going to blow my own Trumpet, This Carrot cake is out of this world. I have never really cooked cakes or pastries in the past and have always worried that if I did my already large girth would increase disproportionately with the number of cakes I would eat. I don't have the will or staying power of Greygal from http://dogsontour.blogspot.com/ who has an amazing ability to drop the pound and Inches!




Still I wasn't alone in the demolition as my Daughter, Karen and my Grandchildren Dainion and Chenelle and amazingly Jill all helped. Note to self do not bake cakes when company is due.








Some self portraits, it's what happens when children get hold of cameras, I'm not sure if it was the cake that had this effect on them or.......

  2. Faced with that cake, I'd say sod the diet and scoff the lot. In this new thin girl, there's a fat girl just waiting to get out...

  3. Lesley, Don't tell Karen she would be most upset, she's alot prettier and slimmer.

    Greygal, I'll bake another one when we are up your way, we can pretend its healthy as it has carrot in it.
