Reading and baking

I was lying in bed a few mins ago not really napping but reading my way further into The Stand when I suddenly had a hankering for spice cake.  While I've got nearly all the ingredients I'm missing apple or apple sauce or carrots and cream cheese (what happens when you buy bagels).  So, no spice cake today.

Soon enough, this fall, we'll have a store nearly walking distance from our house and I can use them as just in time inventory.   That will be a good thing in a lot of ways but may result in more cakes.  

So, back to my book.  I've got cookies that will have to do until supper time.
