king cake. yum.

so, joel's mom sent us a king cake on friday. it got to our house late in the afternoon. it was gone by lunchtime on saturday. (thanks debbie!! it was yummy!) i decided to try to make one this weekend and bring it (take it? sorry, english people) with us to community group on sunday night. (this would prevent us from eating two entire king cakes in one weekend) i was ready to get started, then realized i had forgotten to get flour from walmart friday evening on my weekly shopping trip. joel ran and got me some flour. i tried emeril's recipe for king cake and it was as hard as a rock (even after i left it to rise for 2 hours. nice) the yeast was wack. on my second attempt, with a different recipe (one from your cookbook, ash) and thanks to some yeast from lynn, we had success. this is much more explaining than i had intended... and i am getting bored with this story.

i made a king cake. it was yummy. our community group liked it. joel got the baby. the end.

davis and lane are big fans of king cake. davis is also a fan of playing with empty coke bottles.
