On Conversion and Whoopie Pies

On Conversion and Whoopie Pies

Over the course of several years, I have experienced a conversion in both some of my political ideals and my religious views.  And I also have resumed my pursuit of a bakery/cafe. 

Still a left-leaning, no.  A God leaning liberal.  I have become somewhat passionate about pro-life issues, where a few years ago, I avoided them like the Ebola virus.  My passion includes all aspects of life...physician assisted suicide, abortion, and death penalty.  I have come, after years of prayer and study, that all life is sacred.  That all life is subject to Natural Law and deserves to exist from conception to natural death.  

My ideas of what being open-minded has also changed quite a bit.  The idea that everything is ok, as long as it effects no one else has taken an interesting new twist for me.  There is one truth, everyone doesn't have a different truth that is so subjective as to be non-existent.  Again, I blame this on my active prayer life and maturing in God.  

I have in this time, gained a new respect for my God given talent in the culinary realm.  I am a gifted cook/baker.  I have finally come to own that fact.  Using this blog as a showcase for that talent is something I look forward to.  

So, in a nutshell; I'm back and ready to shake or stir things up a bit.  Welcome and hold on to your hat!

Weddings and Moms


My eldest child Todd, is getting married this July. I'm so proud and happy as he picked a delightful young woman to spend his life with

I am trying to come up with something that I can make for them as a keepsake. Something that screams DANDY!

Here's what I don't want

Cute frilly crap! Like in the clipart I just uploaded I don't do cute

I was thinking an altered book of wedding life, but I'm not sure which book to use. Maybe a Maya Angelou (though I feel guilty about even touching or using her words in that way. Kind of a blasphemy) But she's so wise and I could use lines from her books so easily.

I need to find the perfect book. The book that has enough of a love story with enough good lines to make it sweet and enough sappy lines to make it smartassable.

Or I am very good at embroidery but I can't find sort of design that isn't frilly and makes me want to puke.

Anyone who reads this, (though I see few do) with an idea, please post!
