It's birthday time at the office again, and you know what that means. Cake!
I thought I'd make another favorite recipe from the old bed and breakfast days. It's incredibly easy to make and really good. I especially love it with a glass of very cold milk or a cup of hot cocoa.
And while I'm thinking of the innkeeping days, here are a couple of pictures. The B&B was in a building that looked like a castle. Unfortunately, we don't really have any good pictures of the building because the life of an innkeeper is incredibly nonstop busy, and we seriously had a spare moment. Also, this was in the days before digital photography, so we didn't take many photos anyways. Chloe was three when we lived there and was definitely THE princess of the castle. Her bedroom was even in a turret.
Of course, Chloe had to be a princess for Halloween that
year. And here she is gazing down over her kingdom
from her tower.

Autumn, the birthday girl, with her cake.
And yes, THE princess of the office.

I feel great about being known as the Princess of Student Alumni. Perhaps I should start collecting taxes from my commoners and serfs...food for thought.
