Adam is the big 33. So old! HEHEHE
He celebrated his birthday on Sunday and we just did a little something here at the house. I haven't had the opportunity to go anywhere to get him a gift, so he will just have to wait on that part. Or, we might just forget about it until next year, since we really don't have the money for any extras right now anyway.
I made a Salad Dressing cake for him on Saturday so it would have a day to sit and soak up the frosting. I think it turned out ok. It isn't a pretty cake, and the cake part, nor the frosting are very good on their own, so it is hard to tell until you eat it how good it is, or isn't. Apparently it dates back to the depression years when you couldn't get milk and eggs readily, so you use salad dressing (Miracle Whip) in place of eggs or milk. The frosting is pretty much your average powdered sugar icing, with coffee as the liquid. Kind of a weird assortment of ingredients when you see them on paper, and not a good looking cake, but it is one of the only cakes that Adam likes, and so I threw it together for him and he was VERY appreciative! He was surprised that I had made it for him...I make the kids' cakes each year, but not usually one for him.
We have a lease to own situation in the works for our house. It isn't ideal, but it is better than foreclosure at least for now. I hope that all turns out well. Right now he has a year to buy with all his monies going toward the full asking price if he decides to buy. Hopefully he will buy in the next few months like he says is his plan, and that would be great, as we would get our full asking price and that would be so awesome, even if we have to wait a month or so before it happens.
