Peacemakers Needed
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
"You have your agency to choose contention or reconciliation. I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always."
I got up this morning and decided to put some chocolate drips on my cake. I made some ganache using chocolate chips and cream. I tried to let it drip down the sides of the cake but it was too thick to make nice drips. They were big blobs. James thought they looked fine, but they didn't. He was shocked when I covered the entire cake in chocolate.
James could hardly wait until I was finished so he could cover slices of banana in the chocolate. The cake turned out to be quite delicious.
The Relief Society activity began at 11:00. I left the house about 10:40 with my cake in a cake carrier. When I arrived at the building Lily (YW) ran to her adopted grandma, Mary Gilbert, and said, "she brought another cake." At the last ward event Lily had more than one piece of my lemon cake. Mary said, "Last time you brought lemon and now you are bringing chocolate strawberry." One of the priesthood holders, I can't remember who, maybe Tebo, said, "You can put that in my car."
I set the cake on the dessert table and left my purse in a chair close to the table. Rosa was ready to start her flour tortilla demo. I sat on the front row and took notes. Here is a picture of cute little Rosa:
and one cup of wheat flour for her tortillas.
I think they needed some salt and would definitely
add salt if I made them.
That's Lynda Finnell and Marci Butler in the background. Lynda
is in charge of the activity and Marci is Rosa's daughter-in-law and
is cooking the tortillas for Rosa.
Lunch was a taco bar with corn tortillas, flour tortillas, beans, hamburger and all of the fixings. Lynda Finnell made mango salsa and told us all to try it. By the time I went through the line, most of it was gone. My table, except for Catherine had my cake for dessert. Catherine brought cherry cobble and that's what she had. Others at my table: Tamara, Kerri, Julie, Tamara's sister who is here visiting, and Crystal Flake. I'm not sure what Crystal had for dessert so I correct myself.
The cake disappeared and people said they really liked it. I liked it and Tamara who does inter-mitten fasting said the cake was well worth breaking her fast. Tamara and Kerri are such good friends!
Cope Reynolds helped me carry my stuff to the car. I asked him where Amy was and he said she was in Washington at a baby shower for one of her daughters. It's funny because I just saw her other daughter, Claire, when we delivered pizza to the missionaries last Thursday.
James was sad when I didn't bring him home a piece of cake. I promised him I would make another one for him. He said it couldn't be better than the cherry chip cake I made and I told him I liked it better.
James worked on taxes, made some phone calls, and stayed busy all day. That's according to him as I wasn't here to see him for a good part of the day.
I got home, rested and then spent most of the rest of the day working on my lesson and, of course, walking. James and I finished one book and started another, "The Topaz" by Jennie Hansen.
