The End of A Wonderful Day

Tonight I put together a wonderful homemade strawberry shortcake. It was actually very easy and so delicious. The recipe goes like this:
1-box of yellow cake mix ( the ones with pudding are the best to microwave)
1-quart of fresh strawberries or 12 oz. frozen
1- box of strawberry gelatin or 1 package strawberry glaze will work too!
whip topping
all you do is follow the recipe on the box for mixing, then pour it into a 9" microwavable 2" deep round dish. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Check to make sure the center is done. If you need to put in back in at 50 seconds at a time. Its easy to burn a cake in the microwave so be sure to watch it as you do this. Microwave 1 cup of water in a 4 cup measuring glass for 2 1/2 minutes on high add your gelatin stir then add 2 cups of cold water stir again put in fridge till it begins to set. Add you strawberries mix it lightly. Cut your cake in cubes place a layer on the bottom of the same dish you made the cake in and then add a 1/2 of the strawberry mix over top the cake. Layer the last of the cake on top the strawberries then add the rest of the strawberry mix on top of the cake. Add your whip topping and you've got a moist freshly made easy strawberry shortcake. This is great in the summer when you don't want to run a hot oven not to mention you can get the same great taste in the winter months. If you try the recipe let me know what you think. You may have some really good ideas of your own to add.

My daughter joined me tonight for some of this wonderful dessert. I am blessed to have such a wonderful girl. We have some really good talks, some down right weird and funny. I don't believe there isn't a topic we can't discuss. I have with her a relationship I never had with my own mother. Not only are we mother and daughter but I believe we are friends too and that for me is like the icing on the cake. It doesn't get any better then that! On that note I say till we meet again....Goodnight.

It's been a great day so far!

Hi to all....today has been a great day although it's only 3:40pm EST. The weather is comfortable gosh I love it that way! Of course menopause demands such comfortable weather. Menopause itself is another story I will be tapping into! Imust say I have been waiting for mine to end got as far as 7 months and bingo I won the game. Yes, back at square one. Then don't yeah just love the commercial that goes from menopause to then osteoprosis and I thought birthing a baby was a job. Just being a woman is a huge job by itself. Men just don't have any idea. What the only commercial you see about men...hair loss and erectial disfunction oh Wow! How would they like to wear a diaper once a month most of there life? Not to mention the mood swings, the fatique, bloatness, and as they say bi- zitchy. Just one month I'd like to see every man experience what we woman do. The key to the whole menopause thing is tapping into your spirituality and laughing at yourself as often as possible.

Keep stopping back I plan on tapping into so many issues and publishing my book a babyboomers life on my blog. Everynight I will add a new page for all to read.
