One Can Be Great!

One lonely tulip, above. One lonely blooming azalea, below.

One hopes that tonight I can work on my art.....though my entire being is in service to the canine master until late tomorrow. Last night I was perusing my recipes to decide what desserts I would be preparing for Easter. The meal is at the in-laws and desserts are my assignment. Not just one dessert, perhaps three. The sure one that I have decided upon is my coconut cream pie. That recipe was discovered about seven years ago and has always been hugely popular. One MUST have a chocolate selection or the world would surely hiccup on its axis! I believe the chosen one shall be a Decadent Chocolate Layer Cake - chocolate layer cake with a hint of almond liqueur with a luscious layer of almond-flavored cheesecake in between the two layers of cake and frosted with chocolate-almond frosting. This will be a new one, I always do a new recipe of some type and almost chose this for Christmas. Uh, er, may not be prudent to try a new recipe the night before the event.....but I'm a risk taker....livin' on the edge - yeah! The last choice is still up in the air....a cobbler, a pound cake with fruit, cookies.......not sure about that one..........yet! Stay tuned!

  1. Ooooo! Can I come to your dinner???
    These sound so delish, especially the chocolate cake, no matter if it fails. I commend you for your courage. My attempts at cooking ALWAYS fail. (Well, I can make some mean deviled eggs.)

  4. Well, Easter will be at my house (as was Thanksgiving, oh yes, and Christmas, too! Do I sound bitter??) and I was going to leave dessert up to someone else- but your dessert ideas sound too good. Hey, AU, do you think your inlaws can stand one (in italics) more guest??
