As my Kenyan friends would say, I've been defeated today! It began with hurriedly making two huge chocolate cakes for the KBTC Christmas party to which I added baking powder rather than baking soda and both cakes now have obvious flaws! I'm waiting for Jack to return home from a KBTC Board of Governors meeting to test if either are edible - which from the look of the cakes, is a real possiblity! At this point with the way things have been going, I fear that if I touch the cakes, they might end up on the floor!
 |
| The morning wasn't a total flop! BEFORE baking the cakes, I did successfully prepare a batch of Hersheys fudge to complement the Maziwa Lala fudge I made last night to share at a Christmas party with IMB co-workers. The second fudge is also known as Jack's Grandmother Yates' Buttermilk Fudge! |
And then I tried, really tried to prepare a special Yates' edition of a Lottie Moon Christmas Offering bulletin and although the electricity has been constant, unlike most days in the last few weeks, the internet and several of my computer programs have been very uncooperative this morning! So, I'm doing what I usually refuse to do and I'm giving up for today. In all honesty, one problem was that my computer hid what I had created and I've spent the last two hours searching for what I had hoped to share with you today! I did find it, but can't share it properly, thus you are getting the following revised copy of what I can share without more grey hairs appearing! BERT YATES
