poppyseed cake and friendship

I made poppyseed cake with my new KitchenAid blender. It is a favourite family recipe - simple and basic - Hungarian influences. It has a cream cheese icing. It is quite good. We are stuffed.

We enjoyed a Friday evening soiree with good friends who are leaving for Ontario in a month. It was a bittersweet night. I am very glad for the opportunities that will avail our good friends but am saddened to think they will be across the country.

I finally made it to the libary and have some books to read. Both fiction and non fiction.
