I have a sudden urge to become a domestic goddess. Last weekend, James and I attempted to make a 2-layer, light and fluffy coconut cake, totally from scratch. He even cracked open two coconuts, drained out the milk for the cake, and then peeled, shredded, and toasted them. Dang, I love that boy. The cake turned out okay except that the baking powder I used was about two years old, and thus didn't have the rising power that the cake needed to stand up. We ended up with something more like a short-stack coconut pound cake, but it was pretty tasty anyway.
Today I've been thinking of other domestic projects that I can do and knitting is definitely at the top of the list. I've got the next Houston Knitting Meetup on my calendar, so it's time to get some projects going. Actually, I have several projects in-progress, but they've been neglected for about a year or so. Yikes. I'd really like to start a new pair of socks. I love knitting socks. I stopped by the yarn shop last night to pick up some tools, so now I'm ready to get to knitting.
Tonight I'm going to dinner and shopping with one of my gals. I've gotta find a snazzy dress and a hat for a fancy event at the race park this weekend. The attire is "ascot chic" so think of Queen Elizabeth at the horse races and you've got a good idea of what I'm looking for. Ok, well, maybe not as matronly as the Queen, but a big fancy hat nonetheless. I love getting all dressed up, so I'm super excited about going. Of course I will post pics next week of me in my finery.
