Next Saturday, the 31st, Tess-Megan will turn 26.......however she's a bridesmaid in her friend's wedding that weekend.....so we had a party yesterday!! The usual group was here..[see It Was a Blast!]....and we had a great time , even though it felt more like Christmas than May....we had a fire going all day! Jim and Denny played some great bluegrass..they get better each time they play together. We ate and then we ate some more! Tess got some great gifts, but I think her boyfriend Ryan's gift of an iPod was the winner! Now she can't borrow mine anymore!
We tried to solve the oil crisis over the dinner table, but to no avail! The only conclusion we came to is that we shouldn't buy so much crap!...ultimately the reason for this whole mess!
Tess' choice for her B Day cake was homemade strawberry......soooooo yummy! Here's the recipe:
Mix 1 box white cake mix with 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup water and 1 package strawberry Jello......beat 2 minutes. Add 4 eggs and beat 1 minute. Add 1/2 package frozen, thawed strawberries. Bake 350' oven----30-35 minutes.
Frosting_____ Cream together 1 cube butter and 1 box powered sugar. Add pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add 1/2 package frozen, thawed strawberries. Add a little milk if needed.
Just like that .....a beautiful pink birthday cake!
