October 10, 1974 - 45 days after I was born - Sarah was born. Our parents had double dated, been in each other's weddings, pregnant Mama's rubbed their bellies together. We were the kind of family that can be deeper than blood.
Today Sarah would be 41 years old. (For Sarah's story click here.)
I will celebrate her life by drinking an Arnold Palmer, baking her scone recipe, and watching a few episodes of The Office, the last show she loved to watch before she flew away to be with Jesus. Oh I'll probably run the vacuum too, she LOVED to vacuum - for real! I love you Sarah.
In America we generally call it oatmeal, other countries call it porridge. Doesn't matter what it's called, it's just yummy! I am a big fan of oatmeal, I know lots of people who have texture issues with it - I'm so sad for them! :) And I have only ever made porridge with oatmeal but I have learned that it can be other grains and cereals - yay!
I love that porridge is versatile. It can be savory or sweet. I usually have it 'sweet' and usually only for breakfast. But I found some savory recipes that look delicious, here's one that makes my mouth water.
Here are some other savory recipes. My mouth is watering, I am definitely making some of these!

If you are in NYC, stop by Oatmeals for sweet and savory options. YUM!
Cake Decorating Day
I always thought it would be fun to take a cake decorating class. Not for any business kind of reason but for fun, for family parties and such. So maybe today I'll do something about it. Maybe today I will hunt down an affordable class to take, anyone want to join me? (Of course, you have to be in my area to join me but there's plenty of you around!)
My Mama has this super old cut-out cakes book, it's falling apart and I love it. Throughout the redheads early years I would use it as a guide to make cakes. Here's some of my attempts, which I'm kinda happy with!
I love cake decorating so much that I created a Pinterest board just for cakes I found that amazed me. Check these out!
I've also made a sailboat, castle, barn, and cat face cut-out cakes.
