Now let me tell you about my cake.
I used a recipe from our Better Homes and Gardens cookbook for the cake layers and recipes from another book for the frosting etcetera.
This was my first time making caramel and candied walnuts!
We had it with Vanilla Bean ice cream. There are plenty of leftovers yet.:)
Yesterday, as an early “Happy Birthday!” to me, some of us went to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha and out to eat at Charleston’s(Thanks Dad!).
The museum was built in the Art Deco style(very nice).
A few of my favorites:
Giorgio Cornaro with a Falcon by Titian Tiziano Vecellio, 1537 (I could’ve used a pronunciation key for some of the names there.)
In the Teton Range, 1899
By Thomas Moran
And this may very well be my favorite painting of the day.
Portrait of Sir Samuel Shepherd, 1796 (By Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A.)
I love it when their eyes are painted this way—with detail, softness, and luminescence.
This is just fantastic…I have a whole list of reasons why I think so…Love it! Love it!
A parting shot of lights in the city.
Hhmm, I may blog my cake next, but that’s not finished.
