it's saturday,,,i think

Last night sometime around 10:30 I decided I wanted to bake something. It had to be something I had all the ingredients for, no late store trip for baking. :)

After searching for recipes that I had everything in the pantry and fridge to make, I came up with the Upside Down Cranberry Cake. I had a recipe that I really liked, but could not find that one. My final decision was to use Williams Sonoma recipe, and I was not disappointed. Actually, I like it better. You whip the egg whites like you are making meringue and fold in into the batter, making a lighter cake.

This cake was delicious! It did not call for nuts and I did add a few walnuts at the end.

Will make this again over Thanksgiving when my daughter is home.

You can find the recipe here.

On another note altogether, spent Thursday at Truman Hospital. D. had test, they came out OK, for which I am thankful. I was exhausted by the time Thursday arrived, before ever going to the hospital. The prep for the test started on the 20th, test on the 25th. Two days with not a bite, and with him being diabetic and major heart condition, it is so unnerving for me. I was terrified of his blood sugar dropping. It ran perfect during that time. I was told to go back to his regular routine after the procedure, which I did. But he had some really low bs drops Thursday night and yesterday. I was really wishing I had only given him half his night insulin. I think not having anything in his system, there was nothing for the base insulin to deal with.

Photo was taken waiting for him to wake up from the anesthesia enough to leave.

And...another thought...a song I heard at the end of a movie last night and liked. Hope you enjoy it too.

 
 Wishing everyone a lovely and relaxing weekend.

Thanksgiving Turkey Decor

It's almost that time of year, the fall holiday season, when you can use all those beautiful fall colors to decorate your home. I just listed these handsome dudes in my ETSY shop. I've had them for a long time, used to collect them. Some did not make it back from Germany, and some still packed in boxes. I'm clearing out a lot of things, for various reasons. Listed these today, so, if you are in need of some holiday decor, you can find it in my shop.

Easter Table Settings

An empty table is a blank canvas, waiting to be topped and decorated with loved, passed down and treasured finds, some new, some old. No rules apply for setting a fabulous table, and if you think there are, break them. You can decorate a beautiful table with things found around your house, things can match or NOT! It can be simple or as fancy and elaborate as you want to create. I thought this weekend would be a great time to do a blog on ‘Table Settings‘.

Here are some beautiful examples:
 

 One of my favorites is Gwyneth Paltrow’s Table Setting.
