I-Day +1

Last week a number of us noticed that one of the local grocery stores was selling cake mix and icing on a buy one get one free basis. Though I normally am inclined to prepare my cakes from scratch, for some reason I was tempted by this offer, the only thing that was missing was a justification to make the cake.

Seemingly out of nowhere Neil suggested that we might try celebrating Independence Day (a holiday I am not always inclined to celebrate), though particulars of the celebration were not immediately forthcoming. Almost as soon as this was suggested I thought of the aforementioned cake deal and suggested that I might make such a cake.

While we didn't quite manage to find time to engage in our celebratory activities yesterday, this afternoon I was able to bake the cake.



As you can see, the cake has been appropriately decorated to reflect that we missed the holiday proper by a day.

Hopefully the cake tastes better than it looks.

You could have called today (July 5th) "Statuatory I-Day", which it is.
