Rick's mom has been here since Thursday to find a house to purchase. As soon as her Arizona house closes, Rick will fly down to drive her here. He was going to be helping her load her stuff and drive a U-Haul truck towing her car, but thankfully she's decided to hire professional movers.
This morning we had this:
I didn't plan to serve homemade German Chocolate Cake for breakfast, but hey, that's when it worked out. I made this to celebrate several things – my mom's September birthday, my MIL's selling and buying of homes, and Rick's October birthday. I made it at a confluence of visits (did I mention I'm driving my MIL to the airport and picking up my folks from the airport this afternoon?) because "many mouths make light work" – in other words, Rick can enjoy a little of his favorite "heart attack on a plate" rather than a lot of it.
I've savored my solitude but my break is up; I must take a quick shower before playing chauffeur.
Toodle-loo, from . . .

German Chocolate Cake gets my vote for breakfast of champions.
Awesome. That should be every Monday morning's breakfast...
OMG>>>>>>>>I love German chocolate cake. I'll be right up with a large pitcher of milk to go with that cake.
Looks so delicious cake. Will you share your recipe?
Wish I could share it with all of you! Endah, the recipe is the "Original Baker's German Sweet Chocolate Cake" recipe that comes on the package of the special chocolate; you can find the recipe here:
http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/original-bakers-germans-sweet-chocolate-cake-51120.aspx I don't know if you have access to that German Sweet Chocolate, though. Do note that I frost the entire cake, not just the horizontal surfaces; the icing recipe makes enough to do that.
Now, THAT is the breakfast of champions! Wow! I would love to lock myself in a closet with that cake... :) Sounds like things are looking up - and how wonderful your folks are coming for a visit! Things are never dull at Boulderneigh...
That cake is wonderful... I'm hoping all the buying/selling/cutting/stacking goes safely!
it's wonderful to have alone time but I wish I hadn't a bit less of it these days -smile-.
