It was a chocolate cake kind of week here. 😊 With some extended family in town, we all met up at my sister's house for dinner and a chocolate sheet cake was requested for dessert. I think a lot of families have something like this in their shared recipe boxes - we've been making this one for years. It's so yummy - it's good to have lots of people to share it with.
But... there was frosting leftover, and we just couldn't waste it, lol! So I suggested to younger son that there could be such a thing as "Sourdough Chocolate Cake," and it turns out, there is. He found a recipe and made it, and yum!
Before frosting...
And after...
So good!
(And now I need to work off those extra calories!:)
LeeAnna's question of the week is about a choice between two summer activities - would you rather play in the garden or lay in a hammock and read a book? My answer is - can I pick both? I've been enjoying planting things in my pots and small raised bed this year, and things are growing! Here's a view of our back porch and some of my flowers in pots. Although we don't have a hammock, this is a good reading spot!

But you know I also love to read, and here is this week's book. Kate Quinn is a favorite author, and I have particularly liked her historical fiction novels. This one is a whole different genre, but has really grabbed me!
I don't usually show a photo of the back cover, but this week, I had to!
Oh yes!
