Good tidings friends and a Merry Christmas night! The end to a wonderful full day it has been.. and now this post of how I feel our cake has come full circle this Christmas 2011
It was....just ..a short time ago.. it seems to me ..
...this spring it will be 4 years ago...my mother was teaching me how to bake her cake so that I could carry on her legend. and handed me over her secret recipe that day in my little kitchen....little did I know just how short of a time it would be before I would be the only one baking her cake 
and now it
has come..full circle to me.That day in my kitchen was the last time my Mom baked her cake.This 
Christmas Eve I baked my mother her cake and was very proud to do so..I think I made her the happiest I've ever seen her actually Her cake couldn't have turned out more perfectly,.she was proud to devour it on this beautiful Christmas morning. And a new surprise to her was the Apple Cake Ice Cream I made to go with it..you talk about awesome wow!
Merry Christmas everyone I hope your day was as special as ours was!
May you have a happy ,healthy and prosperous New Year 2012!
These are quite tasty...I just tried one..its hard not to sample your own creation. I'm getting ready for a friends 50th birthday party today and whipped up some good ole roast beef with sinach,provolone and fresh horseradish sauce spirals. Then decided since I had made more than enough sauce..I'd decorate with some cut zucchini slices..yum.they will surely hit the spot! Just like anyhting I make it just grows and grows..so now we have two platters ha ha ENJOY!
Stumbled upon this recipe in the Nov/Dec issue of AKC Family Dog Mag in a aticle.. Treat Levels by Kathy Santo.
Very pleased to say they work quite well..!! This treat allowed me to take my pup into a new command that I had been having trouble with getting her to do. Thank you Kathy !
SARDINE YUMMIES
INGREDIENTS
3 RAW EGGS
1 CAN OF SARDINES PACKED IN OLIVE OIL ( I purchased sardines in water then drained and added oilve oil)
1 PACKAGE (an inside sleeve not the entire box) OF GRAHAM CRACKERS
DUMP EVERYTHI NG INTO A BLENDER ( I used a food processor ) AND MIX UNTIL COMPLETELY COMBINED. POUR MIXTURE ONTO A COOKIE SHEET ( I used pan spray first on pan ) AND SPREAD OUT . BA\KE AT 350 DEGREES FOR APPROX. 20 MINUTES UNTIL IT LOOKS RUBBERY AND LIGHT BROWNED ON TOP. COOL THEN CUT .
If you use a metal spatula, you can pop the baked sheet right out onto your cutting board and cut to desired sizes. So easy!
I also processed my crackers first then added the eggs & sardines/olive oil next then continued to process...it came out very smooth that way and actually quicker!
I found the article to be very interesting and just what I needed to get Roux Mae Alice
caught up with her training. 
They do not smell of sardines, they actually have a pleasant smell of grahm crackers. I cut them into bite size squares..perfect for just a lil treat for her! And most of all all my Labs just LOVE them!
ENJOY!
I was blessed this Thanksgiving weekend with plenty.. a bounty of beautiful Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast was given to me by my good friend Peggy Souza. Thank yu Peggars! I love you!
I grlilled them over a open flame wood fire consisting of Austrailian Pine. which was given to me by my friend Rena Johnson whom helped me cut and haul it to the truck.
This was the first time I had ever grilled duck and oh what a joy!. The wood flame seared the duck fat side down to perfection..and then a few minutes on the other side and they were completely beautiful.
Afterwards I let them sit and regather their juices , then sliced and served over some basmati brown rice and topped with a nice plum orange seagrape reduction..wow..I impressed myself acutally!
Rena came to have a late lunch with me at my home...so nice to have a friend over to eat!
I had cut up and cooked some great swamp cabbage on Saturday and made a Tomato pie on Friday so we helped ourselves to those also..it all overwhelmed us both as we ate and chatted..it was fun! We were so full we had to part our ways,say our goodbyes and left the Sunday afternoon to itself.
I know I went to bed early and slept very well.. ..Rena prolly did too!
Thanks to you both Peggy and Rena for ending my Thanksgiving in a wonderful way!
I hope everyone of my friends had a good Thanksgiving,
Peace and Love
