A Piece of Cake

I found a recipe last week on Pinterest last week that caught my attention, anything with "ginger" gets my attention. I use ginger in anything that I can put ginger in, the real stuff, not the powder too often.

This cake is simple, and it doesn't take a lot of ingredients, and is packed with carrots, not too sweet, but very good. The only thing I will change next time is, I will definitely add more fresh minced ginger. I did use the powder amount the recipe called for, but added a little more minced, fresh ginger. I could have been more generous with the minced ginger. Not sure how old my powder ginger is, hardly ever use it, it may have been a bit flat. I did not want the ginger to be overpowering, but it could have used more. Then again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE ginger.

We did a good deed yesterday, rescued a little bird that had fallen into the fireplace, (fortunately, no fire in there,) not sure how long it had been there, but he/she was still very healthy and ready to get back to it's natural surroundings.

Note to self: DO NOT WORRY!

My vibration level is way down and I need to get it back up - David's surgery is coming up, Friday morning at 7 a.m. to be exact. I so badly want to not worry and just have faith that it will turn out well, yet, I worry. It's such an ordeal for him to get ready for any surgery if it is planned and not an emergency. Getting the required releases from his cardiologist are always time consuming and a little bit stressful, since there have been times that something has shown up and then, another problem to deal with. Haven't heard anything this time, so far. Yay!!!!

Turning the corner and thinking of something that doesn't create stress, last night I made something that was so simple and so good - added a little neutella between puff pastry and baked them, then topping with some cooked cherries and peaches and topped with some amaretto whipped cream was delicious with my cup of coffee. :)
