What's eating you....

This girl loves cake! We recently celebrated Oz's first birthday, and this was his birthday cake. He would have preferred broccoli or vanilla custard. He did taste it and had some frosting smeared on his face for the occasion.

Suzy and I decided that cake should not be wasted (or go to the waist) so here's our tribute to cake. It was carrot cake so technically it's a vegetable, right? Carrots are good for night blindness so it's technically medicine.


This is a John Deere motor used to churn delicious homemade ice cream at the Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale last weekend. Mr. Wonderful and I had never gone before so we dutifully ATE our way around the fairgrounds. He had food from Laos which was really good and enough for both of us (though he ate most of it!) We brought home Brunswick Stew (my favorite). We did go wandering through the baked goods looking for Strawberry Rhubarb pie or Shoe Fly Pie but had to settle for Strawberry pie instead. We had orange pineapple homemade ice cream. Our one scoop was the size of 4 regular scoops.


The Relief Sale was held at the Fair Grounds.
We parked in the "Cow" Section. After eating our way around the fairgrounds, we decided that to really do the Mennonite Cooks justice you probably needed 4 stomachs like a cow.
