Jeannie's Wedding Cake

After a week of measuring, sifting, beating, measuring again...then replacing the dropped layer...I had a wedding cake. With dainty strawberry filling and everything. It was delicious. And most importantly, Jeannie loved it.

*** thanks to Jamie and Cecco -- who took much of the final decoration out of my shaking, sleep deprived hands.

And my own mom doubted me!

In the Beginning...

S'i' fosse foco, ardare' ål mondo;
s'i' fosse vento, lo tempestarei;
s'i' fosse acqua, I' l'annegarei;
s'i' fosse Dio, mandereil' en profondo;

S'i' fosse Cecco, com' I' sono e fui,
torrei le donne givani e leggiadre;
le zoppe e laide lasserei altrui.

we were in italy when cecco stowed away in dr. dj's pocket. nothing could separate us since.

it's that rakish charm...gets me every time.

Cin-cin!
