and i\u2019m sorry i didn\u2019t say it sooner. well, i did call randy at least three times today to wish him a happy birthday.<\/p>\n
but i didn\u2019t sing.<\/p>\n
i should have sang. except he probably would have gotten tired of the singing. not that i don\u2019t have a LOVELY voice or anything.<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve spent a good portion of the day deeply involved in a little bit of a german chocolate cake fiasco. his mom always bakes him one for his b\u2019day, but she has been sick and has had all kinds of chaos in her life, including a partner in the ICU with all kinds of heart problems.<\/p>\n
so i thought i\u2019d make the cake. how hard could it be? first, i put in two sticks of butter and started whipping it then realized i was only supposed to put in one and a half sticks, and so i had to scoop it out and measure it but when you whip it it increases in volume. so the cake looks…kind of flat. too much butter, i\u2019m thinking. but hopefully it\u2019ll taste good; how bad could too much butter be? everybody loves butter.<\/p>\n
and then there\u2019s the frosting. sounded easy – mix some sugar and butter and stuff in a saucepan, let it bubble, add coconut and nuts. and refrigerate it. i did all this but it didn\u2019t look right, it was still very thin. so i added some powdered sugar. and then more powdered sugar and then more and more and MORE and more coconut and it called for one and 1\/3 cups of coconut but i ended up using the entire bag, which was FIVE cups of coconut. <\/p>\n
it\u2019s kind of thick now. too make up for the cake that is a little thin. it\u2019s all going to be PLENTY SUGARY, that\u2019s all i have to say.<\/p>\n
ok for now,<\/p>\n
