Banana Cake

Banana cake with cream cheese frosting.  The recipe called for a method I never used to keep the cake moist - take cake out of the oven and place directly into freezer for 45 minutes before taking it out of the pan - and it was moist!

1st Snow Storm of 2013

In total we had around 2 feet of snow.  What was nice was that it happened on a Friday night into Saturday.  I didn't have to go anywhere.  Even if I did, I wouldn't have been able to get there!
I took the time to work on my son's quilt.  I wasn't really in the mood, but I forced myself and am happy that I did.  Hopefully by next weekend it will be done.
