Granny Cake

The French lemon cake was good -- simple and easy, not very sweet.  No picture, but it's a round cake with no icing (a little powdered sugar before serving).  I love that it's called a Granny Cake.  Apparently, French grandmothers make a lemon cake -- everyone has a family recipe.  Something simple for breakfast or an afternoon snack.  I used my French dessert plates too.  (Now I wish I had a picture.)

It gets a glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice when it comes out of the oven that forms a top on the cake that's very nice.  It's a perfect dessert for summer or after a heavier meal.

The new to-go containers worked well for the kids.  Perfect portions for meals.

The rest of the meal was good too -- I ate too much though.  Feeling sluggish this morning.  I didn't eat an enormous amount, but I've been eating less at night and a big, heavy meal felt rough on my stomach.  Ribs, potato salad, green salad and deviled eggs -- then lemon cake.  It was a MEAL (!!)

A little girl talk ...
I was hungry and craving sweets like crazy last night.  I hope my monthly comes and this isn't a skip month.  Headache is there, mood is there.  I need some hormonal relief.  Between hormones and my neck, heel and back -- I'm a mess.  I feel pretty lousy overall right now.  Perry is going to give me a run for my money.  Fortunately, only YEARS to go ... hah.

Nothing much on the agenda for today.  Hubby is getting his car serviced and new tires.  I'm his ride so he doesn't need a loaner car.  No cooking today either (and back to lighter food).  Two days in the kitchen and my back is tired.  I need to clean this week, so a low key day is good for my back.  My toes are in need of attention too.  That has to wait until my back is less sore too.  Old lady problems.

This is a particularly boring chat, so I think I'll call it finished.  Food coma is wrecking my brain.

Stay well.  Later gators.
