Summer theatre stuff

So I auditioned for the first summer show last week and was cast.

Ladies and gents, June 12-14 will see a stage adaptation of The Princess Bride (book, not movie) taking place in Higgins Gardens.

I'm super excited because I'm playing Valerie to Eric Sutman's Miracle Max. We have so much fun together, it's ridiculous. And it's the perfect size role for me with the whole working full time and still wanting a life thing.

This concept is pretty awesome. Let's see if it lives up.

May Day recipe - Snow White Carrot Cake

So, for May Day, I decided to throw together one of my favorite things ever, a super-rich carrot cake. And, remembering that I promised to photoblog it for a few people, I did just that.

Here's the recipe, complete with pictures - enjoy!

I like to leave this cake naked (even though decorating is usually my favorite step), but simplest is best with this one. Taste it and you'll see why. It's more than enough on its own; between the frosting and rich cake, anything else would be lost. It's also really good refrigerated, because then the frosting tends to take on an ice-cream like consistency. =)

I can't wait to eat it. It's taunting me in my fridge, but oh! can I be patient.
