Chocoholic Anonymous

This week’s TWD hostess is April of  Short + Rose and she chose the Cherry Fudge Brownie Torte.  Unlike our lovely hostess I really prefer not to sully my chocolate with cherries (or any other kind of fruit for that matter).

After reading the recipe I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to attempt this one or not – it was a more complicated and time consuming recipe which I wasn’t certain the little prince would give me the opportunity to complete and I wouldn’t even get to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  But “Prince Charming” was very supportive and nearly insisted that I should get back on my TWD wagon…of course he absolutely loves cherries and chocolate so I think his motives may have been somewhat suspect!

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of “Prince Charming’s” and my marriage.  One year ago we, or rather my mother since we were off celebrating our wedding night, carefully packed the top tier of our wedding cake away in the freezer to await our first anniversary.  Why did we do this?  Did we really want to eat one year old cake?

For those of you who don’t know, my roughly 3 month hiatus from this blog was due to the birth of my first child – a beautiful baby boy.

Towards the end of my pregnancy I really didn’t feel up to baking and I wasn’t supposed to be spending any time on my feet (doctor’s orders).  I rather naively thought I’d be able to get back to baking once the baby was born – he’d be sleeping a lot, right?

While he does in fact sleep quite a bit it has taken him nearly 2 months to settle into something sort of resembling a schedule.  Now that he has, I will be baking more frequently which means I’ll be back to posting here again.  I apologize for my long absence, but it was what I needed to find some balance in my life again.
