So we're eating healthier around here, G & I, and we've instituted a new plan. We eat healthy Sunday-Friday and Saturday is Free Day. Saturday we can eat anything we want in whatever quantity we want. We've just started this in the new year and I can already report that Saturdays are a whole new brand of happiness for me.
Tomorrow is Free Day and I woke up immediately daydreaming about what will be on the menu tomorrow.
I'm not a huge sweet eater. I never order dessert except on a birthday or an anniversary. (I'll save the tales of my addiction to salty crunchiness for another day.)
On Free Day, though, I save room for dessert. It's no holds barred. It's guilt-free. It's bliss.
Tomorrow evening, our friends, P & J, are coming over for games and dessert. I'll ask them to bring something chocolate-y and I'm going to make something to share. I've felt the urge to bake this week so I'm going to take advantage of that on Free Day.
But what shall I make?
Cookies? A cake? A crumble? Ooh...a crostata. A free-form pie. That's more for summery fruits though. And I feel a bit more ambitious than that.
After perusing my usual foodie sites, I've decided to make this:
White Layer Cake with Lemon Curd Filling
Thank you, Martha Stewart.

This is AWESOME Kim! I never knew you did this! VERY impressive! I LOVE to cook as well - always wanted to be a chef since I was 8 years old - just doesn't fit into "family" working nights and weekends to get started. Not a big sweet fan myself - so your comment about salt and crunch - totally made me laugh - it is SO me!! :) How do I read this regularly? I've never been a blogger - but will be with this!
