Winnie-the Pooh Stamps | Royal Mail

Have you ever seen more delightful stamps? The Royal Mail has really outdone itself this time. I love, love, love these! They will surely be best sellers bringing joy to all recipients of snail mail posted with A. A. Milne characters from Pooh Corner. via

It is supposed to rain most of today and I plan to get my closet ready for winter. Somebody's got to do it. See you later.

Have a Magical Day

A Canon EOS 350D and image editing program Photoshop are the only tools that were used to compose images of fairy-tales. Blue skies decorated with clouds, mushrooms, hearts and books (many hearts!) are some of the elements that populate the creations of this German artist, who only three years ago discovered the world of artistic photography. (the fairy-tale by Jeannette Woitzik)

Birthday Pound Cake | So Good

My mother had a great birthday today. She decided she wanted a pound cake and I made the one I featured recently. Recipe here. I have to say it was delicious. We ate it with Breyer's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Yum.

The people on the food network are always talking about baked goods with a great crumb. I think this cake would send them to the moon bragging. I heavily buttered the pan using a big pat from my cow butter dish and baked it at 375 instead of 325 for one hour. I have a gas oven and it cooks a lot cooler than an electric one. I always crank it up an extra 50 degrees on almost every recipe. I used a big round pan with a removable bottom instead of a loaf pan. Mother and I both ate a huge wedge and decided this is the recipe I should use again and again. It was easy and the only ingredient I had to shop for was the pure lemon extract. Try it, you'll like it!
