I mowed, did three loads of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned the bathroom fan, reset the under counter lights, took a mile walk with Corki and rode my bike 8 miles.
I am tired, but happy.
Why? A successful hunt.
Jackie asked me why I liked kuchen and I had no answer. She asked if my German grandmother (the one whose terms of endearment for me translated into little shithead and pants full of shit....but I did not know that until many years later) made them when I was young.
I think she must have, else I would not have developed a desire to have some.
I bought these at a church bazaar in a Ashton, which is a hotbed of kuchen cookers.
We both thought they were very good. I had one for breakfast and one with an afternoon coffee. So much for watching my weight.
Now, Bob and Diane, I have found a recipe for apple cake made traditionally, the Dutch way. Hopefully I will make some that I would be willing to share.

The Rochelle Rotary Club sponsors a calendar. A cash winner is drawn for every day of the year. Sometimes the prize is $25, sometimes $50 and 4 times a year $1,000. If your name is drawn on Jan 1, it goes back in the pot and could be drawn again.
Technically, each day you have a 1 in 2,700 chance of winning, because we only sell 2,700 calendars.
Where does the money go?
Glad you asked. Rotary uses a part of it for projects and scholarships. But the bulk goes to agencies that help people who need help. A domestic violence shelter, child protection agencies, senior citizens center, center for troubled teens, child care center.......all good causes.
So, if you would like a calendar, let me know. I can mail, deliver, or dance the polka to make a sale.
Peace and Love
PS...Julia and Emily....like the socks???? Just for you!
