June 4 - Applesauce Cake Day

UPDATE: 7pm
Cake is done! Here's a quick peek:


Applesauce Cake Day

Applesauce cake is an old-fashioned, homey sort of cake. If you don't have an old family recipe for this cake, you should be able to find one easily, either by searching online or through your basic cookbooks, such as Joy of Cooking, which is where my Applesauce Cake recipe will be coming from. I'll bake it tonight after work, and if we don't dig in too fast, I'll try to remember to take a picture to post for you.

Today is also:

May 30 - Water a Flower Day

Holiday Insights

Although the official name of this holiday directs you to water a single flower, you should probably go ahead and water any plants you may have around the house. We don't want to discriminate against any kitchen herbs and dwarf citrus you may have sitting around the house.

Take the time today to make sure your plants are getting enough sun and think about adding some fertilizer. Also, you may want to wipe down any large leaves that may have collected dust, and prune back any dead parts or thorns.
