things I love 6 - baking (and snow)

So I love baking but it's always my favorite thing to do when it is snowing. I've always loved to bake. The recipes that have been passed down from both of my parents families are about 2/3 desserts and baked goods. Cake has always been a favored breakfast item for my family, except Steve thinks it's weird so I do it less now than I used to.

One of my favorite bouts of baking was spent over a week in January of 2000. With the worst snowstorm of 20+ inches (I think we measured 24), my roommate, Kristin, and I, along with her dog Pepper, got into the best routine of mostly eating and watching TV, like Magnum PI and movies. Pepper got her coat put on and we literally threw her into the snow.

But since I'm sick, I probably won't be baking today. Unless you count the muffins I made for breakfast.

I like the cake, I just don't eat much sweets. I don't think it weird. You baking is AWSOME!

I know you like cake. I just meant cake for breakfast.
