I finally made Ina Garten’s lemon yogurt cake when my mom visited a few weeks ago.  I must say – it is delicious!  The cake can certainly stand on its own as a dessert (or breakfast at my house).  But my mom and I started talking about its versatility.  Of course, using it for strawberry shortcake would be yummy.  Or, you could make a layer cake by slicing it horizontally and covering each layer with homemade flavored frosting.  You could use it in place of traditional pound cake in trifle or drizzle it with a delicious sauce (raspberry comes to mind).  The options are endless, which makes it the perfect cake to have in the freezer for all sorts of occasions, including last-minute guests.

The Culprit

I woke in a panic the first morning in our new house when I heard what sounded like a jackhammer in our bedroom.  For several weeks I consulted plumbers thinking we had an issue with our water pipes when the irrigation system kicked on, only to discover that this woodpecker was the source of the noise.  He loves to pound on our metal chimney.  We have two chimneys, so he moves from one to the other.  Great.  I finally got a picture of him.

I took this picture last Friday evening from our patio.  The moon was huge and the sky was pink and purple.  Although the picture doesn’t do it justice, I had to share!
