I’m going to do a quick all-picture post, because a) I’m already late posting this, and b) I’m on vacation today and don’t really feel like spending a lot of time in front of the computer, which is why this is late to begin with.

Chocolate layer cake with Caramel Ganache
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Strawberry Shortcake
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Ok, so it’s supposed to be marionberry shortcake with the heavenly cake bakers this week, but my husband says “marionberry” is the mayor of Washington, and there was no mayor of Washington to be found in my grocery store’s freezer section, so I used fresh strawberries from Herrles, supplemented with a handful from my own patch of 5 everbearing plants. How can you beat that?
I think I have some canning to do

Tomatoes
My husband just emailed me the above picture from his blackberry. Looks like I know what we’re doing tonight! That’s from about a 4 x 20 ft section of garden.

Monday, August 9th, 2010I’m back!
I think this week’s heavenly cake bakers choice was perfect timing. It’s definitely quick and easy, but it also involved heating a sugar syrup on the stove, so I got to use the new gas stove, as well as my new oven. We don’t have our cabinets yet, but everything else is in the kitchen. My good friend Matt and his girlfriend came over on Saturday afternoon and helped us move the new appliances in, as well as move the fridge and our old extra free-standing cabinet back into the kitchen from the dining room, so we can cook again!
