Crooked Cake

Unlike the women who do these sorts of things strictly for enjoyment, I start out with the sole intention of being frugal. Some might have other words for it. I prefer frugal. I refuse to pay the amount that they want at a bakery for a pile of sugar so, I become determined to do it myself for $9.50. Then, after the process, I realize that I enjoy these sorts of things. I believe that the Lord knows that I would never have baked fondant cakes, built tv stands, laid a tile floor, etc. unless my bank account forced me to. Sometimes I feel like the karate kid who is wondering why Mr. Miyagi has him suffering through all this nonsense until the day when he realizes that He is molding him into something that might be able to stand a chance.
For this I am thankful. All this from a crooked cake.

Wiggy Eats

Once a month I often find myself with a wicked migraine. I'm sure there are lots of women out there who can relate. But I have found that what I eat the weeks prior can help me to avoid the severity of these headaches. Here is a small meal loaded with iron, protein and amino acids.
Filet Mignon and escerole with sweet potatoe and ginger sauce. MMmmm

Recipe for the Escarole is as follows:
Head of Escarole
2tbs sesame oil
Fresh grated ginger
Scallions
2 sweet potatoes
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp tamari
1 tsp lime juice
