SIX EGG POUND CAKE

 Six Egg Pound Cake

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups of sugar

1 1/2 cups butter

6 eggs

vanilla extract (pour with your heart)

3/4 cup milk

Step One: Grease bundt pan and preheat oven to 350

Step Two: mix flour, baking powder, and salt into bowl

Step Three: in a separate bowl cream the sugar and butter together, after that is done add the eggs one by one beating them in each time

Step Four: start to fold in the flour bowl to the egg bowl

Step Five: add the milk and vanilla

Step Six: after it's all smoothly mixed, pour batter into the bundt pan and make sure it's even at the bottom

Step Seven: cook for about 45 minutes

When you remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for about five ish minutes, then run a knife to release the edges. Dump out the cake onto a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for about 20-30 minutes. 

We added a powdered sugar glaze to ours which is super easy to make. Just put powdered sugar in a bowl and add milk and vanilla. Then mix it up. No measurements, just mix it until it's got a smooth consistency and you have enough to coat the cake.

IN WHICH I UPDATE Y'ALL ON MY LIFE

 

It's been awhile. 

I've been really focused on some things that were taking up all my time and energy, but there have been some changes which makes me hopeful that my goals will get back on track. 

First of all, this cutest little thing was born. Her first name that I tried out was Fauna, but it doesn't quite fit her...so we are back to the drawing board. She's pretty darn adorable, and I 100% do not mind her taking up a bunch of my time. 

I've been prepping to launch two new little businesses via my farm. Warmest Regards which will be hand spun yarn! Eventually I hope to have my own sheep or alpacas to spin with, but for now I'm learning to spin and dye these things. It should be super fun. The other is The Midnight Hippie which is a self care product shop made with farm fresh ingredients, like goats milk from my Nigerian Dwarf herd of dairy goats and honey from my hive. I also still have Neon Daisy Co. of course. (click the title of any shop to find it online)

I'm also making moves to upgrade my horse life. Follow that journey here. Click here!

One of the things I had to give up was partnering with my friend, Erin for the farm school. Although I loved having a job focused on horses, my heart is not in teaching beginners. And as a fledgling business, it required a large time commitment. Being that I live an hour away from the farm where the school is hosted it was just too much of a time commitment for me, and it was taking away from my own farm. Everyone seems to want the tea on my leaving Sonoran Daisy, so that's it. 

No big fight. Erin and I are still friends. I adore her. I adore her kids. There was no drama. Just a decision between the two of us to do what was best for me, for her, and for the school and for my farm. 

I've been slowly working on all my works in progress. The meNoir is coming along, but I'll be honest I have to work on that one slowly because it tends to release a lot of trauma. For my own mental health, that one is taking as long as it takes. Now my Lucifer book, that one is just pouring out. I can picture those characters so vividly that they just sort of write the story themselves. I'm so excited for this one. My necromancer story is on hold for a bit. I'm working some things out with the magic system, plus Lucifer is taking up all of my brain. 

What have y'all been up to?

Rhonda Reviews: The Re-Education of Molly Singer

 

We recently watched The Re-Education of Molly Singer, which is available on Netflix. 

It has a recognizable cast, and is a super cute movie. There is a faked friendship, going back to college, an irresponsible adult who finds herself, and tons of funny moments that will leave you laughing. 

The movie makes subtle nods to current events which you could either find hilarious or offensive, depending upon your leanings. There are drinking games that those over a certain age might not understand (we certainly didn't recognize a few of them). It's not overly raunchy, but there are innuendos that made me laugh. 

Overall, it's an easy fun movie. 

There are definitely worse ways to entertain yourself.
