The Boy turns nineteen today – where does the time go? I was thinking about his tenth birthday when he decided he wanted a Neapolitan cake for his birthday. That meant baking three different cake layers, which I was trying to avoid, so I told him that Batman had Alfred order him a carrot cake, and Aunt May makes a chocolate cake for Spiderman. He wasn’t buying it, so a Neapolitan cake it was. Anyway, choice of cake has morphed into choice of dinner, which tonight will be pulled pork sandwiches, my sister-in-law Pat’s famous coleslaw, and Lay’s Wavy Chips. Cake recipe to follow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
