Poke Cake Grandmaster

I made my first Jello poke cake tonight for bible study and it was freaking delicious. If you haven't made one yet what are you waiting for?? Wilson, listen up; you make a white cake mix in a 9x13, let it cool, make a 3 oz box of strawberry jello to the directions (I made it while the cake was baking so it wasn't super boiling hot when I poured it over the cake), poke 6-8 holes along the top of the cake (all the way through) and pour over the jello mix. Stick it in the fridge at least 3-4 hours, or overnight. When completely cool and all liquid absorbed, top with a layer of cool whip. I also cut up a package of strawberries, sprinkled with sugar, and let them stew in their juices overnight to top each slice with. Mamma Mia!!
I ate two pieces it was that good (shhh...don't tell Chris, he doesn't know). Chris was taking refuge at the 'rents during b.s., but now he's back and I'm shoving cake down his face, too.

I actually finished one of my scrapbook projects yesterday. That in itself is a miracle, but it was a gift project so I really didn't have a choice. I was making a cocktail book for Kari's birthday and I've got a little gift basket started that has a bunch of little mini bar size bottles of booze for all the recipes.
Granted, as you can see, it's not the biggest craft project ever but that doesn't seem to stop me from quitting half way through. She'll love it, I'm sure. I printed the recipes on transparency paper at work and then painted the back with vanilla craft paint so you could see the printing over the patterned paper. Most of the recipes are out of a cookbook of mine which we've already road tested and can verify that they are in-fact delicious.

Chris and I have a graywater reuse workshop at Gold County Casino in Oroville tomorrow. It's one of those rare times we get to do work related stuff together. Afterwards we're going out to dinner, too. Either to the new brewery in Oroville at the Depot, or to Nash's on the Esplanade (where we took Mum for Mother's Day brunch). That's about as big a decision as I plan on making tomorrow!
