March Madness and it's almost SPRING

The day started gloomy – and it’s been that way for the past several days. But, on a positive note, it’s warm… above freezing when we get up and today, into the upper 50’s. March is an odd month. You know, by the calendar and by the fact that day light savings kicks in, that Spring is just around the corner. However, the weather does not always cooperate. And I find, when it’s gloomy for several days, which it’s been, I feel funky… down… so I just keep taking my vitamin D tablets and hope for the best!

Leftovers for dinner today… a selection of several days. So we just finished a helping of pop corn. Thank goodness for the microwave. I also made cake. We went to Target the other day. Gosh, I really like that place. So many nice things and if you really check, you can get very good sales. Well, we were going up and down the isles and hit the baking/cooking area. They had this nice Wilton cake pan that makes what I would call a very large cupcake but it has an indented top. So, it looks like that sponge cake you can purchase at the store that you put fruit in. Well…. Good price so I got it. Since we purchased strawberries (another good price deal) the other day, I thought I’d make these cakes. Now the pan has 6 cakes. So, if figured, put about 2/3 cup in each and the rest in a square pan. Well, I filled them too full. They popped up with really high tops. Baked them for about 19 min. and then let them cool a bit before taking them out of the pan. They look good. I’ll just cut the top (which will be the bottom) off and put the fruit in them. They will be GREAT… and the cut off tips will taste good too. Next time, I’ll put less in the pan and make some giant cup cakes in anther pan I have.

Despite the gloom the sun came out late afternoon and right now it’s really nice outside. I’ve been playing this game on the Wii called Animal Farm, City Folk. I had read reviews on Amazon and thought that sounds neat. Well, this game is far more involved than you would think. The more you do the more involved it becomes. It’s like the Sims… you create a town and live in it day to day. Yea, I know, get a life. But it’s fun and something to do that makes you think. I do other Wii things, too but this one is “different”. Anyone out there have a Wii?????
