Nice to get the children into the kitchen for something other than
grabbing Twinkies and a Coke. I agree about getting the ingredients
out before starting, even when I am alone. Heaven up me if I don't
when there is someone else in the kitchen. CRS.

Today I made an angel food cake, actually in 3 loaf pans. So far I
have gotten rid of 5 of the 12 yolks. DH ate one at breakfast. I
made a baked rice pudding and used 4 yolks instead of 2 whole eggs. I
now have 2 loaves of sourdough bread in the oven. When they come out
I'm taking a nap.
