not yet, stayed up to late watching the stars last night in the pool with the wifey. It's was cold beer, good smoke and clear skies..........it's amazing sometime how little sleep i get and i still function......think i went to sleep about 3am.....really wasn't paying attention to the time...
Sound like a good night. I get by on little sleep on the weekends. Been doing late nights/early mornings for a long time, but the older I get, the harder they are to deal with. Last night wasn't too bad. I clocked out at 0100, and clocked back in at 0850. Got a solid 5 1/2 hours of sleep. Tonight's event is an early one, and tomorrow's opening time the same as today, so I should be golden as far as sleep goes.

That bad boy looks like it will have a good crumb.
Thank you.
I am beginning to undetsrand the critical relationships of particle size, moisture, and air content. The air is in the creamed butter and beaten egg whites, so how much the butter is creamed impacts how stiff the eggs need to be. From there the addition of catalyst (baking powder) is important, but secondary. I should have taken more accurate note on how full the pan was.

I slightly over baked this one, was nervous, toothpick came out clean on the last one but collapsed. Went till I was confident it was springing back in middle and there was no jiggle. The crust is a little thick on the sides and its a tad dry bit still holds together.

I want to try red velvet next.

I'm down to my last slice of canna cinnamon crumble coffee cake. Need to bake something to replace it. But it will be from a box.

I fed my outdoor girl for the first time since she went out 3 weeks ago. I put her out a little early without paying attention to the daylight hours and she started budding so I just let her be. She's back to veg and throwing all kinds of branches now, should have a bunch of space tomatoes.:weed: Then I sifted my first batch of homemade EWC, about 7 gallons worth. Gonna throw a little on the outside plant and the rest into my raised bed with a handful of worms. I'm supposed to be setting up my flower tent, but I I just fried up 8 chicken legs and there's only 2 left, so I'm not feeling too ambitious.
