« special day »

As it happens, yesterday was not only Thanksgiving, but it was also my mother-in-law Diana's birthday.  So naturally, instead of making something traditional for dessert like pecan, or pumpkin, or apple pie, I made chocolate chocolate chip birthday cake.

With candles.  And sprinkles.  Lots and lots of sprinkles.

Naturally.


Song:  Super trouper by ABBA.  Today's song brought to you by Diana.
