memory

I've decided to participate in Memory Monday. Last week I memorized Isaiah 61:1-2. I started reading Beth Moore's Breaking Free and those are the verses she says to start with. So here it goes from memory... The spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, And release from darkness for the prisoners. To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God. To comfort those who morn... I'll be adding verse 3 this week.

fudge yumminess

This week I baked a yummy fudge cake from Alton Brown's cookbook I'm Just Here for More Food. Obviously, it was a little more difficult to make than a boxed mix, but way yummier. The batter was the best part of making the cake. It seemed really runny, like Alton said it would be, but baked up super moist. The frosting was difficult to make because you needed a hand mixer, which we don't own, but it turned out ok. You were supposed to put the saucepan in a bowl of ice water and then mix it, but I just mixed it and then stuck it in the fridge to cool off.
