COFFEECAKE

I didn't spend all day yesterday dancing around to music by the Pointer Sisters.

But I did spend quite a bit of the day on my feet.

In the kitchen, where I baked an Applesauce Coffeecake.

It came out of the oven high and mighty and though it was meant for Sunday morning breakfast, SWMBO just had to sample it while it was still warm and I joined her.

She pronounced it a success while I was iffy on it.

Later in the day I baked a Chicken Enchilada casserole I brought from the grocery store.

With some refritos (refried beans) and some leftover fruit Judy had in the refrigerator it was a fine meal.

Quite a bit later I had another piece of that coffeecake and decided time had done it some good.

I told her I couldn't understand how women who cooked and baked day after day for their family ever did it.

I was exhausted.

But then I noted that I hadn't begun in earnest until I was 84.

So there's that.
