Amy Uncle Paul and comfort food. I guess that would be the theme for my submission. On Saturday last week we said our last good bye's to Uncle Paul. He wasn't my uncle by blood or marriage but out of his acts of kindness and generosity. He was a good man and an uncommonly kind human being. He helped Tremain and I during a very difficult and fragile time in our relationship. Whenever I would pay him a visit there was almost always music playing. When I returned home from his funeral I was glum and hungry. I didn't eat beforehand. So I turned on some 70's R&B and headed to my kitchen. Much like Uncle Paul would have done. I'd recently read an article about an old cookbook that then Senator John Kennedy's wife Jackie had submitted a recipe for waffles. With Al Green belting out Love and Happiness and the waffle iron heating I felt a whole lot better. By the way, say what you will about Jackie Kennedy, she made some bitchen waffles!

NikitaWell, we woke up this morning with sore feet, aching backs, and extreme fatigue. BUT....the party was a success! For two hours, there was screaming, laughing, running, eating, and drinking all in the dim glow of blacklight and neon colors throughout the house. My favorite one-liner from the evening spoken from one of Christopher's school friends, "This party is EPIC!" Of course, the birthday boy needed a cake just as cool as the party, so I made a Galaxy Mirror Cake. In the light, you can see the shimmer of the edible glitter dust and the melding of colors like blacks, blues, and pinks. It was just as delicious with funfetti on the inside. The glaze is poured over a buttercream frosting base,. When the glaze sets, it becomes stretchy sugar. When i pulled the candles out, the glaze stretched up then bounced back into place. It was not difficult but definitely time consuming. The 9-minute video on YouTube was misleading because I spent about 3 hours on the entire cake. Love, 99 Happy Sunday, Amy, Georgia and Nikita |
