A Cake and some Answers

Sheila brought a cake when she came to play Dominoes yesterday. It was a kind none of us had ever tasted. We all agreed that it was scrumptious!  Apparently it's a traditional Italian Christmas cake.



I finished reading this book that I requested from the library.  I read it years ago and just wanted to read it again.  It's very interesting  and based on a nurse's experiences on a remote Scottish Island.



 Not much to write about on this very rainy Monday.  At least it's not snow like some of the eastern provinces are getting.

I thought I'd answer two questions here, that came up in my comments. 

Ellabie: Yes, I do cook up my pie filling the day before so it's chilled when I pour it into the pie crust before baking.

Gretchen Joanna: You wondered about the chocolate balls. Yes, they do contain peanut butter.

I don't think there were any other questions. 

 

Added later...Linda (Linda Letters) I'm so glad that the tree that fell during the wind storm didn't do serious damage, like to your house or something..


Thanks for visiting
