When I'm anxious I like to bake, it soothes me. So last night I made this dark chocolate pound cake.
The glaze is dark chocolate too and it oozed down the sides of this creation like molten black patent sugar.
I love baking, everything from scratch of course.
This will be my contribution to dinner tonight with my Mom & sister. And I will have to take the remaining cake to the Farm for Dad this weekend, especially because he reads my blog and if he sees that he missed out on this he will be sorely offended!
It has been so hot, a truly unfair and punishing summer here in North Carolina. June came and went with record breaking consecutive days above 90 degrees, turning the pond into a crock pot of hot soupy unpleasantness. July is not making up for it either. We will have to endure the rest of July, all of August and at least half of September in sweltering, blistering, suffocating, debilitating patience.My reward will be blessed, delightful, wonderful FALL; always worth the wait. Fall renews my spirit and awakens in me such joy, peace and reverence. Much as I try to live in the moment and enjoy each day...I can't help but dream of that first day in September when you can see Fall coming in the sky, smell it in the air, feel it in your bones.
Until then I will wait, and write, and dream, and swim when the weather is tolerable.
And bake cakes and treats and sugary things for anybody who will eat them.
Because I am
biding
my
time...

Oh Sweet Dusti....I am right there with you....I am waiting for fall too. This weather is making me SO cranky and the mosquitos up here could suck a turkey flat footed!
That cake looks wonderful!
I am so glad you stopped by for a visit!

Oh! Oh! I would sooooo love a slice of that. Yum.
My favorite moment is that first autumn day when there's just "Something Different in the Air". You know? There's just a little bite....a little chill that's more serious than any of the other days that season.
I get embarassingly excited over getting out my sweaters. How do you store yours? I have one friend who only buys a new one if she gets rid of an old one. I don't have that kind of discipline. I don't want it. I just want tons of cozy sweaters.
This looks delicious, love dark chocolate. I hope you get a break from the heat. Found my way over from another blog, enjoyed my first visit.
