It’s a real hoot. So I made the cake this weekend for my hubby’s birthday. Love the flavour but the texture…well, I’d be afraid of sinking to the bottom of the lake if it were tied to my ankle.

Thanks and looking foward to more posts!
Lisa

The Silver Palate does not even come close and I am normally a huge fan of the Silver Palate.

Beg to differ, it is the BEST! It converted many European visitors, including picky 16 year olds who think American food is otherwise barbaric. The reason no one eats it for breakfast is that there is never any left over!

My heart goes out to you, it is so hard to let go of our little ones….

love, Delia

You are definitely a woman who puts her mind to something and then accomplishes her goal! I have to say I admire your discipline. I hadn’t read your blog in a long while… nice to hear you’re still at it with the Silver Palate AND somehow losing weight at the same time. :) Sounds like you will be a chef extraordinaire by the end…

The baby weight is just another one of those things that you don’t think about before kids.

I have been told that losing the weight is easier than keeping it off so I guess it is a life long struggle ahead of me.

I have fought pre-baby weight for 10 years, then post-baby weight for 47 years! And your Uncle Malcolm loses weight by eating whatever he wants! Is life fair?
