So I don't get ruby bracelets and dinner at the Buttes for my birthday anymore (that was so 4 kids ago!!) This year my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I don't like the birthdays to be all about getting, I'd like my kids to learn to give a little. I said "I'd like you and the kids to make me a cake."
I'm at work and get a call.
"Where do I find the oil?"
"By the stove."
"That's Canola Oil, I need Vegtable Oil."
"Humm, honey, it's the same you can use canola."
"I have to put 1/2 cup oil in this??" (surprise and disgust in his voice. he's been dieting and eating a lot of salads.)
"Yes, that's where the calories come from. You knew that right?"
A few minutes later, another call.
"How long do I cook it?"
"Babe, it's a mix. It should say on the box."
"Oh. Ok. But I need toothpicks."
"You can bake a cake without toothpicks."
I maybe should have warned him to let the cake cool before frosting it. . . Nope. It was more fun this way! Better then any Tammy Coe or Sprinkles creation. That would have been too easy! I think this will be a new tradition. Nothing could have made me smile more! I had been expecting the kids to make it. He grills, makes omelets, roast chicken, etc. but apparently this was his first cake. :)
