Flattery will get you everywhere!

I was reluctant to start a blog.  I thought it would be time consuming and I'd have nothing to say.  While I love writing and have often dreamed of penning a bestseller I was concerned that the pressure of posting regularly would suck the life out of me.  I was wrong.  I have plenty to say and the only thing that makes it time consuming is that I try to say too much.  And I find that the regularity of the process is actually making it easier and easier to do.  I am always thinking about things that could or should make the blog so I don't struggle for topics like I did when I started.

I especially love the feedback I get from family and friends.  And it is no surprise that much of it is in response to the recipes that I post.  But I got the very best compliment from Sylvia, one of the Burning Man crew that visited a couple of weeks ago...she actually made the carrot cake recipe!!

Here is an abridged copy the message she sent with this picture: 

I made the carrot cake recipe in the first week I got back and gave half to my bosses for their birthdays (which fall one day before the other in September, see attached), and half to my parents.

General comments were: "Out of this world." and "Don't hold yourself back from making this several times a year, please." And none of it lasted more than a day.  :)))

Delicious recipe!

Thanks Jerianne!!!! I'll be keeping this one in the arsenal for a loooong time!

You can't ask for a better endorsement than that!  Now I'm craving sweets!  Off to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie.  (Recipe to come soon!)
