This cat, this little monster, ran out when my husband was going outside for something, grabbed a mouse out of the grass, then ran in all before the screen door shut. Less than a minute!

The amount of butter in this recipe is making me rethink the story behind the name of pound cake. Next time I feel like cake, I may go for an olive oil cake instead!

Sooner than I thought, I received my pre-pub copies of All Daughters Are Awesome Everywhere! No fancy unboxing video because fam always opens other people's packages. If you want a copy, see www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/978... or request it from your fave bookstore and/or library. Yay!
