Now my cat is telling me what to cook. I...Sheesh. Now my cat is telling me what to cook. It's true, I didn't bake this Christmas for the first time in years. I didn't even make the Argentinian Christmas cake. Perhaps I will make it for carnival season.<BR/><BR/>The Whiskey Cake was a new thing for me last year. I figured I should become a real Southerner and make something involving bourbon, sugar, and pecans.<BR/><BR/>I took that photo of +Maya Pavlova a couple of weeks ago, though, and since then I have had hot buttered rum. <A HREF="http://algerblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/hot-buttered-rum.html" REL="nofollow">My friend Algernon inspired me.</A> So at least the rum bottle got a little use.<BR/><BR/>+Maya loves to jump up into the kitchen cabinets. Of course, she is not supposed to, but when they are open she is very quick. Then she hangs out there out of reach, looking cute.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-67927644451409851972009-01-14T00:44:00.000-05:002009-01-14T00:44:00.000-05:00Pablito, I was haranguing Jane, not you.
