<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent;">Momma here on a beautiful Sunday, one that had me doing some planting and too much work shall we say, As Brudder Elwood would say--liddel storie.</font></div>
<div>Last week I spotted a new recipe for snicker doodle cake. It caught my eye and I thought I would make it this afternoon, I had some nice berries that I thought it would go well with. I mixed up the cake, poured it in the pan, moved the pan to the back of the counter and turned around to wash up the dishes. The oven binged, I turned around and what do my shocked old eyes see but Brudder Jake with the extendo neck in full stretch and his tongue in the pan sucking down the batter. I grabbed him by the collar off the counter, he had batter on his whiskers, specks on his head, spots on the counter of batter--and a smile on his snooter-what a mess-my first thought was I must be going deaf--how did he get by me, jump up there and I didn't hear him?? Then I remembered the powers of a basset nose-and Jake misses nothing. Cinnamon in the batter, he had to of smelled it.</div>
<div>I surveyed the damage here-no drool strings, no obvious dog hair floating about, no company coming that will share the cake.</div>
<div>Decision made. In the oven the cake went. After all this would not be the first food share with a hound around here.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How was the cake?? I think I overcooked it a bit, but it was hard to judge the cook time with a bunch of the batter missing. </div>
<div>Brudder Jake said cooking was a waste of time, the batter was wonderful..</div>

<div>Drool to all in need</div>
