There’s no crafting happening at the kitchen table right now, but there might be later.
Yesterday brought something even more exciting to my door. A lovely little package all the way from Arizona. Deb had posted about a chocolate cake that her Mom used to make and shared the recipe with her readers. One of the ingredients is not widely available (if at all) in the UK and she kindly offered to post out a packet to two commenters. I was delighted to be one of the recipients.
It’s the Fourth of July tomorrow and that seems like a pretty good day to make this all American cake. It’s also the day that my son was due, sixteen years ago. However, he made us wait another week, in the July heat (yes, we had some that year), before he put in an appearance. I’ll let you know how it goes Deb.
That’s what is in my workspace today. Are you sharing yours? If you’ve been under a rock for the last four years, then pop over to Julia’s place to see what it’s all about.
I aim to be back tomorrow with the winners’ names and maybe even some numbers.

Ooh lovely big box of goodies! I'd love to have a rummage through lol!
I don't think there's any equivalent of choc flavour jello here....how fascinating that will be...! Sorry you've had a bad coupla days..and I agree about the blogging thing..no obligation..and I also think that it's better not to blog than post something seriously uninteresting or forced!
How great to get interesting mail like that. You must let us know how it bakes.

That looks like a box full of lovely SU....what better day than tomorrow to make your cake (its also my Wedding Anniversary!) hope you share a photo x
Hey, lucky you! I saw that post and wondered what on earth it would taste like so you'll have to let me know!
cant wait to hear about the cake. Our local Tesco sells the jello so interested to know what you do with it :)

I wish I could rummage through that box, though I have the embossing folder on the top!
I shall be round for a slice of the chocolate cake for 11sies!!

That looks like a fun box of goodies. My mother-in-law uses Jello Pudding packets in her cake mixes and she uses Vanilla flavored in her cookies. They are delicious. Another interesting ingredient I have used in my Chocolate cake is Coke-aCola, and Dr.Pepper. Makes for a Y-U-M-M-Y cake, and no Chocolate cake would be complete without Peanut Butter flavored frosting.
I think I gained 5 pounds talking about Chocolate Cake. Hope you had a great weekend. (((HUGS)))

There's a box of my favorite kind of stash. Surely, you got to keep a little for you.
