The cake pans are scrubbed, put away, the last traces of dessert eaten.
During the past several weeks Seth and I have been recipe surfing, experimenting with different tastes and textures, all for the home skills portion of the local 4H Livestock Show.
Every night, visions of cakes, pies, and cookies danced in my head. How the kids in the poem “The Night Before Christmas” handled it I’ll never know.
For me, my dreams of dancing pastries were horrific.
After much deliberation, we entered: blueberry pie, an apple spice bread, eggnog bundt cake, and my recipe for white chocolate chip cookies.
The result were wonderful. Seth received blue ribbons for the bread, cookies, pie, and got a red for his cake.
We entered a pen of rabbits in the livestock portion, and out of 105, Seth placed thirty-ninth.




Congratulations…to both of you!
What a treat to cook with your son. Mine wanted nothing to do with the kitchen when he was growing up. Congratulations to Seth on the ribbons.
Gee, I just came from Nankins place and she was talking about a night of chocolate dining. Then more desserts at your place. I’m gaining weight just reading you two.
Seth must be proud. I couldn’t even boil an egg at his age. Heck, I can’t even fry one now.
good for you guys! Sounds like a very successful, and wonderful time!
