Sure, come on over. It is a big cake!

Sue

Sue, I've said quite often that I would love to be your neighbor :)

I made brownies with pecans this morning for DH. My youngest son called a bit ago and said he was stopping by after work, so I thought I'd surprise him by making his favorite marbled cookies.

How is your DH feeling?

No baking, but I have been processing tomatoes. I grown San Marzano tomatoes, specifically to make sauce. I have some simmering on the stove now. The house smells of tomatoes.

Too hot to bake - close to 90 in central Illinois. And, there is no air movement. When you step outside, it sorta smacks you around.

I too wish I lived close enough to share your cooking/baking. If I did, would you deliver on your Big Rig?

Shirley

matti5 , brownies and cookies both sound good to me. Thank you for asking about my husband. He is about the same. The kids take him to his business part of a day a week to have it open. They have to stay up there with him though.

Jim you are busy with your tomatoes for sure! It is 80 degrees here in central Indiana this afternoon. If it gets too hot when I bake I turn on the window air conditioner in my kitchen. I did not have it on while I baked my zucchini cake.

Sue

Of course Shirley, I deliver eggs to my neighbor most of the time on my big rig.

I made a carrot cake today w cream cheese icing, of course.

Not in this heat. I was going to bake a pound cake to share with my sister when I see her Sunday, but it will have to be a project for another time.

The radio reported that it will be 118 degrees in Palm Springs this weekend. Glad I don't live there!

I made a peach cobbler this afternoon, and it is soooooo good! Had a fan blowing the oven heat into an unused room.

All of that big cake is gone, gave most of it away. Now I will be off to the kitchen to bake another as I have more to give away! Are you still baking today?

Sue

I'm baking. 109 degrees outside. Thank God for the pool and AC! Oh, and oven is off. Grilling steak outside!

I hadn't planned on it but found a recipe for strawberry bread on Pinterest and may make it tomorrow, since I have strawberries in the freezer

I decided to bake a Cold Oven Pound Cake to share with my sister and jack up the AC. It is in the oven now, and I will bring up half of it for her tomorrow when I pick her up to go to lunch. The other half is for us!

Made some ginger snaps Saturday. I call them 'ginger bends' as they aren't very hard. I always put lots of chopped crystalized ginger in them, plus more ground ginger than called for, plus whatever spicy season is in my cupboard that turns me on. Put some cayenne pepper in this time, which I've done before, but I think I may have gone a little overboard this time. Still pretty darned good.

You all make such yummy treats. I hadn't planned on baking, but this morning I made a new recipe for blueberry lemon loaf that I have been meaning to try. Since I had the blueberries and my daughter and her family are vacationing here at the river I thought why not today. We enjoyed it.

I found ready to bake cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting for $1 @ the grocery store, so baked those for breakfast Sunday.....not the same as homemade...but so fast!

Everyones baking projects sound so delicious!

OK....now it's Monday....and I've baked a batch of granola(w/ coconut & almonds), 3 doz. choc-chip cookies and a 16" pizza from scratch. I'm done for a few days!
