August 10, 2008

Just like breakfast, how  I start the day is very important. Baking this cake first thing in the morning, helped me a lot to be able to enjoy the rest of the day. The great aroma of honey & lemon in the whole house, almost hypnotized me to ignore my house chores :) ,but then, after I ate this (breakfast) cake,  I was so  ready to conquer my domestic life :D
