Since I'm a fan of Downton Abbey, I thought I'd make this Edwardian Kitchen Garden Cake. After reading the recipe, I discovered the cake is salt free and vanilla free. Not the type of recipe that I am used to but I decided to forge ahead. Missing a springform pan, I used a quiche dish.
What a moist, tasty cake it turned out to be! As you can see the icing sugar got away from me. (In the scheme of things what's a few hundred extra calories?)
On the needles...
Not a lot of progress because a Diva house guest kept me up for three nights running. And after being here more than a week, she still refuses to shut it down at a decent time. She stands outside the bedroom door and yells and she doesn't care to sleep with anyone and wants what she wants now.
Thankfully Whoo, my morale boosting knitting buddy recently arrived to save the day. You can find one here.
Now without further adieu allow me introduce Diva Sadie, the tortoise shell Tabby cat.
Wearing her Kitty caps, Sadie looks self-satisfied and innocent.
Caps or no caps the mat is now in shreds, but the lady of the house said, that's okay as long as I am happy. (K, I freely admit it: I find decorum tedious, but when it suits my fancy, I can be truly loveable...sigh...)
