Baking and Album Blocks

This afternoon looking out the window, this is what I saw.
There was 15 but all I see is 12 in the picture.

We had a little rain this morning, nothing like what some are going through. And when it's cloudy and cold I have to cook or bake.

The Man of the Place wanted a cake today so I bake a Chocolate Sheet Cake and if I'm going to make one I might as well, as Ree calls it, The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake ever. 

The Man of the Place loves it and I think you might too.

Now with mine I used Dark Cocoa powder and walnuts instead of pecans. 

Beside baking and cleaning up the mess.... I have been working on the Friendship blocks. 

Have embroidered these 9 and there are 10 left to do.

As you can see some have not been trim which is good. That way I can trim them down all to the same size. So much easier that way.

Started some orange marmalade and still working on it, I'll have to show tomorrow if I succeeded or not. This is my first time making orange. I had a few years back made Carrot Marmalade, it did have oranges and lemons in it too.

And it was ok, found it a little bitter. Hoping for a better result this time.
