When life gives you lemons…

…make soup stock.

Today’s truck load of lemons were practically ordered by me specifically.

But everything else in my world is right as rain so I really have nothing to complain about.  Best of all, I’ve spiced up my chicken stock and figured out how to keep fresh chives around all year without buying a new plant or starting new seeds every two months.  I still haven’t come up with a catchy name for it but if you’ve got ideas (or have seen this before), let me know.

Halloween has come and gone and so has the Chocolate Spider cake that I made for our neighborhood’s Halloween party.  One of the ladies commented on how “clever” it was to dye the white cake orange but her son couldn’t eat it because he’s allergic to dyes.  Luckily, I hadn’t used any dye.
