Dinner's Ready: Another King Cake

Well, I probably shouldn't do this, but I've started another Blog. Like I don't already spend too much time at the MacBook. As some of you might have guessed, I like to cook and I love to eat. So I thought I'd share my recipes, humble as they may be and a look at "What's for Dinner at Our House." The plan is to be discovered by the Food Network for my cooking show, which hubby has titled: "Cranky Franky's in the Kitchen".
Am I ready for critics? Probably not. I know my instructions are not always clear or precise. Let me know if something doesn't make sense. Anyhow, if you're interested, check out "Dinner's Ready"

Another King Cake

Well I've done this so many times before that I will be short and sweet. You can find the recipe here and here, so I won't repeat it. Just a few pics. Had no lemons, so used orange rind instead. Oh, and this time I made a sweetened lemon flavored cream cheese filling.

Mardi Gras - New Orleans 1996?

People lining up their ladders before the parade so they can catch more "throws".

My dough was struggling to rise in our 62 degree house. Why is it that 62 degrees on a sunny spring day is warm enough to run around in a t-shirt and shorts, but 62 degrees indoors in the winter is almost too cold to be comfortable without two sweatshirts and flannel jammies?
