• Aug. 28, 2007 - Answering some questions.....
What kind of a homeschooler would I be if I didn't answer the what, why, who and how questions I have been asked? I LOVE answering questions, especially when I know the answers  and I also like asking them.
A few days ago, I asked a question. Click HERE to see. TRACY guessed a prickly pear. Hers was the closest. I finally found out what it is called in English. It is a Yellow Pitahaya (Selinicereus megalanthus). It is similar to a prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica)in that it grows from a cactus. The are other varieties for a Pitahaya; they are called Dragon Fruit.
The next lot of question are to do with the CAKE. What does it say? So I wonder if withHim4ever figured it out? Did you?
It was for a an anniversary party.
Yes, I made it on my own while my children sat around me doing school work It is much better now that they are older and know not to touch. When they were younger I was always telling them not to touch. With my little girl, I would stick red tape on the floor in a line and she wasn't allowed to cross over. She used to sit at the line and we would talk to each other. With my little boy, he peeled the tape off the floor. I made a wedding cake once with a whole lot of leaves on one of the tiers. I went upstairs to shower and when I returned to the cake, all the leaves had been diligently picked off and eaten.... oh those were the days 
Ok, I'll tell you what it says:
30 YEARS
To Shmuel and Chaya
Abundant Blessings
I do not have pictures of the cake after it left my home. Apparently everyone loved the cake and they took photos so I will wait for them.
And for the final question. Yes, I need lots of help in the taste test department. When are you coming over??? |
