cheery monday cake day

Here is another recipe from Chocolate & Zucchini, which is turning out to be a pretty useful little book. I may actually have to buy it, instead of checking it out of the library over and over again. So, this time I made the Yogurt Cake, Gateau au Yaourt, and it is completely going to be a staple in this house. It is so simple and so delicious. It is the kind of cake you could add little fillings to, or endless varieties of toppings. But, it is yummy on its own. It’s a cake you should bake just to have around in case someone stops by. It seems very old fashioned. There you have it. Cake of the week.

Here’s a little wholesome vignette for you…sweet potatoes hanging out in a basket waiting for dinner and a little honey pot my mom brought me back from NC the other day.

Some vintage folksy fabric I purchased to make Clara a dress. It is all cut out and ready to be sewn into an adult dress already. Wonder why they never finished it…hmm…Since the pieces for the skirt are already all cut out, I may just stitch them up and make myself a skirt as well. Of course, then Clara and I would have matching outifts, which may or may not be silly.
