We interrupt the action in this kitchen for a ....fire.

As many of you may know, I spend a bunch of time in the kitchen! I've been making bunches of cakes, cookies and cupcakes. That keeps me away from my blog often. However. .. I had many plans to post a yummy recipe last week when. .. a wildfire started nearby in the mountains and made it our direction threatening our home and our friends' & neighbors' homes and livelihoods as well, as there are many cattle on the range being threatened. After being evacuated 3 times, getting bit by a mean spider on the BUMCHEEK and having a crazy week-long allergic reaction, being completely displaced, continuing to keep baking for people AND attending the week festivities at the local county fair...it's fair to say I'm completely beat!!! Luckily our home is still standing...jusy really stinky! And now I can offer two new flavors of cake to my menu..."smoked" & "fried".
Now my kids are starting school tomorrow and I'll once again be all alone (with my puppy kids, of course) for the day... and I'll be doing my best to make up for everything I wasn't able to get done last week.  Oh my....let the fun begin!!
