When I arrived yesterday in cooking class I had a cake pan with ingredients in it, and beside the cake pan I had a tape recorder to listen to. Since I had my shades on and I don't read Braille, the only way to "read" a recipe is by listening to it. After listening to the recipe directions, I added the ingredients, mixed them up, folded them in, and put the cake in the oven at 350 degrees to bake. After about twenty minutes I tested the cake by putting my finger on the center to see if it would spring back. It did so I took it out and put it on top of the stove to cool. I didn't have time to put frosting on it, so another student put the frosting on this morning. We had it for dessert at our lunch today. One student had three pieces, and after lunch the pan was empty. It was the best thing I've made in cooking class so far!

If they ate all the cake it must have been good. Sorry you missed the fireworks. Guess you couls say you were on top of the world looking out on the night lights of Des Moines. Keep up the good work. I can't wait until you make the 7 course meal. Chris will like a seven course dinner I am sure. It was 95 today and we went for a boat ride tonight. Bee
