Every year on Cinco de Mayo, I make my signature Mexican Chocolate Cake,
and we usually eat out for Mexican food.
This year, Cinco de Mayo happened to fall on a Sunday, so
we stayed home to eat, and unfortunately
I forgot to check my pantry on Saturday to ensure that
I had all the necessary ingredients for making the cake.
And sadly, when it was time to make the cake,
I couldn't make the delicious frosting for the top.
The reality is I was really the only one
who cared since I'm really the only frosting fan in the family.
Anyway, it was still yummy even though the glaze I made
to put on top of the cake tasted like straight-up hot chocolate.
No one minded.
Plus, it was Fast Sunday, which meant that we were all
super hungry!
On a spiritual side note:
Our family fasted together with one purpose for a
very significant and sensitive thing.
We believe in miracles and God's power.
We have faith in His timing and will.
And sometimes IT IS SO HARD to be still and wait.
After dinner we took a walk in the fields, checked on the cows,
and watched as the sun lowered and the humidity took over the fields.
Jane and Christian walked through the fields with Angus
who jumped around the tall grass like a little puppy.
The rest of us (who were not wearing boots) did not.
It's tick season.
That would be a death wish.
