Thank you, Mrs. K! We are gluten free too, so that makes it tricky, but I’ll look for a GF wacky cake.

Dear, I saw your comment on the other website regarding cakes without dairy. There is a recipe for a cake commonly called a wacky cake that is a good cake though it doesn’t frost well, it’s whats called a snacking cake. It’s made with vinegar and oil. You mix the dry ingredients in the pan and then add the liquids. It’s a fun one to do with littles. I know there’s an orange version in the new Joy of Cooking, most common is the chocolate, I know Betty Crocker has published it and some variants. Hope this helps.

Wow, that multiplication game looks like fun. I think Billy would enjoy that – will have to try and source it over here somewhere.

Great news about Daryl’s hip.

Oh, I might have forgotten to say! She’s spending a week and a half with friends up in the Twin Cities. From what I hear she never wants to come home, but it’s like that every time she spends a week at Carmela’s.

I was exhausted by the time I got even half-way through reading your list

Where’s Toria? I must’ve missed that somewhere.

Funny, I felt like it was so little that I was a little embarrassed. I guess that’s just human nature! Yes, when they’re little they are so much work, aren’t they? I am so happy to have the work though. You know Fiona and Alex were both big surprises (especially Fiona!) when we thought we were going to be so practical and stop at three. It’s a happy exhaustion.
