Mom also has stuff planned to go in the crooked-pot for dinner later.
As you can see, one of us knows about "Easy" and the other one, well, not so much.

Easy Like Sunday
This is what Easy Like Sunday means to me:
this is what it looks like for Mom:
This is the makings of Chocolate Cake, but Mom also has Spiced Oatmeal Cookies and some English Muffin Bread planned for today. And maybe some of these. Mom will pack all this stuff in a box and send it to my Mary-land family. Mom and I love them lots and lots.

Family Friday: PlusOne Bakes!
PlusOne came over yesterday and he and Mom baked Brownies, and made a Yellow Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting. You can see PlusOne liked the frosting.His Mom and Dad (Auntie Karate & Mr Big) came to pick him up, and before they left, half the brownies were gone. They took the brownies and the cake with them.
I have it on good authority there was nothing left by the time they all went to bed last night.
...I'm betting Roxy didn't get any.

Let Them Eat Cake Sunday
Mom's birthday is tomorrow (July 21), Mim-may's is July 24 and the family got together last night for a birthday dinner. As usual, Mom was asked to make The Cake, and it couldn't be chocolate, because chocolate keeps Mim-may awake, and Auntie Karate may be allergic to it.
So Mom went through her cookbooks including a new one, and found Dorie Greenspan's Perfect Party Cake. It's a white cake with a hint of lemon (Mom's favorite flavor) and a meringue-based buttercream frosting. Here's the meringue.
Here's Mr Karate enjoying one of the beaters
Here is the finished frosting... Mom said it was absolutely the best frosting she has ever had in her entire life. It wasn't too sweet, and it wasn't grainy or greasy.
Mom says the recipe is way too long and complicated to post, and besides, the book just came out, so go buy a copy. Mom used lemon curd instead of the raspberry preserves (in addition to the buttercream frosting) between the layers, because, you know, she loves lemon.
Here is the finished cake.
Everybody loved it, and there wasn't much that came back with Mom afterwards. She says she'll bring it day hunting tomorrow where it will disappear in 3 minutes flat.
Mom won't let me post any pictures of me because she says all I'm doing is showing off my tummy, and Monty Q passes out every time he sees it, so I have to let him recover. I dunno what he's gonna do on Thursday when Mom and I get to his house. Mom says I might have to have some type of disguise.
She does have a nice post over on her quilting blog, The Patchery Menagerie, about how she made the special quilt I am bringing to Mary-land for Monty.
PS, Mom's birthday is TOMORROW... not today. Don't be wishing her happy birthday until TOMORROW! She says she's old enough already, she doesn't want to be any older any sooner.
Huh?

Happy Easter Sunday
Happy Easter Everybody!
Diamond Emerald Eyes, and Josie, there is still snow on the ground, so neither of you will win the When When Contest.
Here is what Mom made for the Family Dinner on Saturday night:
Mr Karate's girlfriend took one look at it and said, "It's a Carrot Cake!" She was right! It was a Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Mom will post the recipe on her cooking blog later. Mom says this cake has crushed pineapple in it.
