We snacked all day in the car. When we got home tonight we shared a pint of oyster's.

It’s what I grew up on. I’ve lived here all my lifeWish I liked seafood half as much as you and John do!

I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida panhandle. I grew up fishing, boating, and scuba diving. I could eat seafood every day! My best friend from high school who had lived in the same town as I did for nearly all of her life (moved there when she was 3 years old) can't stand seafood. One of my older sisters dislikes it so much that when she comes to visit, I don't cook it because she can't even stand the smell of it cooking. If she and I go to a restaurant, I won't order it because it freaks her out, LOL. I just can't even imagine how we were born to the same parents!It’s what I grew up on. I’ve lived here all my life
I understand though, Buzz is from Illinois and Arizona….he’s not that crazy about it either but loves a good fried fish n chips!
I baked a sugar free carrot cake for my nephew's wife (she has gestational diabetes in her 7th month of pregnancy). I cheated and used a sugar free cake mix and sugar free icing. I added unsweetened coconut flakes, unsweetened pineapple, and shredded carrot to the cake mix (plus some chopped toasted pecans). It's a little dense but the flavor is pretty good! I whipped about 4 oz of cream cheese with the frosting and it tastes very nice. I made some tester cupcakes last night to find out.
After icing it, I topped the cake with more toasted pecans. It looks a mess because my decorating skills are non-existent. And, I can bake a great loaf of bread (thank you pandemic) but my baking skills are pretty much limited to box mixes (my mother was the baker and dessert master--I didn't get that gene, apparently).

Aww, thank you. Definitely lots of love went into it. My nephew's kids didn't care for it but he and his wife loved it, and that's all that matters!The cake looks great to me, Jusa - made with love and care!
