I just thought I would share this with all of you waiting for your supper.


Strawberries & Hot Fudge Sundae Cake


No-stick cooking spray
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
? cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
? cup milk
? cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
? cup packed brown sugar
1 cup water
Vanilla or coffee ice cream
4 to 5 cups stemmed and sliced strawberries

Cook?s note: Cake can be prepared ahead and served cooled or reheated in a low oven.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. In mixer bowl, combine flour, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and baking powder. Add milk, butter, and vanilla; beat until smooth and well blended. Spread in pan; set aside.

In small saucepan, combine remaining 1/3 cup sugar, remaining 6 tablespoons cocoa powder, the brown sugar, and the water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Gently spoon over cake batter.

lol. We don't have a garden although it would be nice to grow some tomatos and maybe some herbs. Fresh basil would be great. I don't think I would enjoy mowing around a garden. It already takes me 3 hours to mow.
14 months later, and now we do have a garden ... two varieties of tomatoes (beefsteak & early/often), bell peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, oregano, basil, cilantro ... *ugh*

I'm enjoying it. Hopefully we yield *something* edible. I'd like to do a bigger garden next year.

We are trying out container gardening in our front yard. 4 kinds of hot peppers, basil (being eaten by slugs), oregano and rosemary. And we have begun the process of turning our front patch of bad grass into a cactus garden, yay Hens and Chicks!
