a fiery Mother’s Day dessert
The hubs never goes a normal route. His Mother’s Day feast was no exception.
The main course began normally enough, rotisserie grilled Cornish hens, corn on the cob and salad, but the dessert….
He enlisted Kid’s help with the charcoal chimney for starters. They lit it in the driveway. (setting things on fire? bring the kids over here, hon!)
Meanwhile, they stirred up cake mix, sweet cherries, chopped nuts and Kid’s energetic sprinkling of cinnamon in the hub’s new dutch oven (he thinks he’s going camping this year).
Kid repeatedly checked the status of the coals. White? Not white? Finally, she yelled white!!
They put the oven on the coals and several briquets on top.
And when the timer rang, we had. . . .DRIVEWAY CAKE!
I danced and chanted DRIVEWAY CAKE! DRIVEWAY CAKE! DRIVEWAY CAKE!
(a fun cake, if you don’t play in traffic)
Until Kid said, “Moooooommmmm, stop that. You’re freaking me out.”
(Embarrassed by mommy, at age 4? Harumph.)
I hope all you mothers out there had a delicious day!
(Driveway cake! Driveway cake! Driveway cake!)

Wow! That makes my homemade strawberry shortcake with a side of mint brownies seem kinda dull. Dull, but YUMMY!

I wondered what you guys were up to over there but had to work and could’t stop to smell the cake. He amazes me with the stuff he does. You can tell he comes from good Alaska stock.
By the way - Ann is looking for babysitting time for the summer. She wants to book up so she can plan ahead, financially and socially. I have a 19 year old, responsibile, no blue hair, and with a car to drive herself home at the end of the evening; any takers?

Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was illegal…..knowing Bainbridge, probably….
