Baby says yes

My baby has had rice cereal for couple of weeks. then before starting her on this pear and garden greens, I let her have sweet potatoes so that her first memories of food are nice instead of ultra healthy greens. But she devoured this too. It is a good choice to be able to introduce greens so early. Just before feeding, I could smell ripe pear and sweet.

Safeway's homestyle roasted chicken is flavourful compared to Costco. There is a 'tuxedo cake' for $5 today. I only wanted  apiece and not all of it.
Eat live run The case of missing bananas: Two ripe bananas in the fruit basket. Their inevitable futute is banan bread/cake. I found the  All occasion yellow cake . I searched her site for any banana recipe. There's more Banana Republic sale references than banana recipes. But further in the book I found a 'My brother's favorite banana bread recipe' which uses 1 tsp baking soda ans 2 cups whole wheat flour. It has been adapted and made  Gluten free  by Jeanette. Well the bananas were beyond salvage.

Santa sliding on a triangle of a cake

Carol Deacon The book has many pictures with creative ideas both simple and complex. A simple pipe cleaner become the antlers on a candy cane. The complex ones are pared o simple ones in subsequent pictures. This act of breaking down a whole decoration into its parts is sure to get your creative juices flowing to mold the fondant in a way to customise and please whoever you want to decorate the cake for. The Chinese Dragon cake, summer Holiday Flowers cake (with its 3/4 standing cake), a hot dog, Thanksgiving Turkey Cake (with a story of a turkey crushing the cake built onto the cake). Edible paper. I enjoyed it as a kid. some papercutting to make a snowflake. wow. Its a magical world that the author Carol Deacon presents to us. Whats even better is we can make it ours.
