Don’t let his good looks fool you

A couple of weeks ago I found a stray kitten who I just couldn’t leave abandoned. So I took him home with me. He’s so cute and extremely needy. But don’t be fooled by his devilish good looks. I discovered that this cutie pie was doing his business under my bed. I just happen to keep my purses and handbags under there, and he just about crapped in each one. I had no choice but to throw them out. After that incident Fonzworth Bentley now has a bell added to his collar.  Having a cat is a brand new experience for me so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 This would be his guilty face  

   Fonzworth is fascinated with my keyboard and anything that moves on screen

Apple Caramel Crunch Cake

 

On Monday evening I baked a German chocolate cake for my dads birthday. I don’t eat chocolate so I wanted to make something that I could also enjoy. I went to DC last weekend to visit my sis and nephew and picked up some delicious and sweet honey crisp apples at the local farmers market. Theses yummy apples were the inspiration for this cake.

I made mini cakes but this can also be prepared in a bunt or loaf pan.

Enjoy your weekend!
