Make a mouth watering chocolate cake in just 5 Minutes with no mess!
What would my grandmother say about a cake being baked in the microwave? She would probably say "woo hoo!" Although my Grandma was a fantastic baker and could do anything from scratch, she was never closed to new ideas, as long as the end product was delicous.
This was a find of Country Living Magazine. Give it a try!

Take a stroll with me down a country flower lined path to The Weathered Shack-Outback. As we enter, experience the delicious aroma of Deb Fuller's hand-poured soy candles. Shop owner Deb Fuller uses her unique quality scented blend using only the finest quality oils yielding an exquisite candle. Deb's candles are clean burning and the fragrance is as delicious at the bottom as when you light it. You will LOVE Deb's candles! If you have a tart burner, all of Deb's scents are available in fragrant tarts and you will love her prices! Some of my favorite scents are Chocolate Peanut Butter, Orange Cranberry and Apple Cobber, but Deb offers dozens of fragrances for you too choose from.

Hello Primitive Friends!
I am so sorry that I haven't posted recently. My wonderful clients are keeping me so busy that I haven't had a spare minute! I'm not sure what is going on with this weather today, it's cold and rainy here, but I guess it's not uncommon to see unpredictable weather in April!
Isn't it the perfect day for a nice hot, soothing cup of tea? I'm working today, but you can bet that I'll have a nice cup of tea on my desk.
Vanilla Chai Recipe
Vanilla might not be part of a traditional version of chai, but its not an addition you want to miss. It helps to mellow out the spiciness of the tea.
