Funny notes
Downstairs, in the kitchen, two covered plates sit. Atop one is a note that says, "Eat pie!" Atop the other is a note that says, "Have cake!" I went on a baking rampage recently and thought the roommates would appreciate the sugar. I just noticed that on the bottom of one note is a comment. It reads, "nag, nag, nag."
Incidentally, for those of you who've been waiting to make the Pumpkin Spice Layer Cake with Caramel and Cream Cheese Frosting from the November issue of Bon Appetit...don't bother. The cake is far too oily, and the frosting is good but not damn near as good as it should be given the effort involved. File that one under "Disappointment."
