The joy of cooking..

     I am really grateful to have a good kitchen.  I have a refrigerator, a propane stove, a washing machine, a micro-wave and even a portable mixer.  But cooking in this humidity is draining.  This morning, thinking I would beat the heat, I started a cake for the group activity tonight.  I actually had sweat pooling down my back, pouring down my face and pooling in places I won't mention here.  That was in the first ten minutes.  You have to pre-heat he oven for 15 minutes.  By then you are dead.  But here are the results.
The only plug in the kitchen.  It's either the fan OR the mixer.

It actually looks like a real Texas sheet cake; success at last!

Thirty eggs for Christmas breakfast.  The flies went nuts over the
chocolate cake batter.  They are good protein aren't they?

  1. Who's coming for breakfast to eat 30 eggs? Your kitchen looks better than I expected you to have. I thought maybe you wouldn;t have to cook so much but then I know you like to do it. ggh
