Not the Best Lemon Cake...

Last Saturday, with all the family here, we celebrated Katy's birthday. She recently went through her wardrobe and got rid of tons of stuff, which she shared with her sisters.

By special request, I made green pasta and a lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. Kris made the syrup and candied lemons for the cake. When we served the cake, Kris said, "This isn't the best lemon cake I've ever had." Most were unaware of her part in making the cake and assumed she was slamming the cake in general, and I suppose, by extension, me. The resultant laughter carried on for quite some time. The cake was actually very good (Martha Stewart's recipe), but if you were expecting something more like the flavor of lemon squares, it was bland by comparison. Anyway, it was one of those phrases that will go down in family history.
