Okay off the happiness - teehee - but this cake will make you happy! I wrote a comment to someone about their zucchini bread looking good and mentioned I knew a CHOCOLATE zucchini bread and Corgis in my Garden wrote me and asked me for the recipe. THIS IS WHY I LOVE BLOGGING!So here is the recipe -
Zucchini Chocolate Cake
½ cup of margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ¾ cups of sugar
2 ½ cups of flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
2 cups shredded zucchini
½ cup chlorate chips
½ cup oil
½ cup sour milk ( you can add a little lemon to regular milk and it will sour it)
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
4 tablespoons cocoa
****************************************
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
Blend margarine, oil, and sugar
Add and blend eggs and vanilla
Add sour milk and other dry ingredients – alternately to other ingredients

Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees

I have a very picky eater here – one of the worst you’ve ever known – and he will eat it – of course I don't tell him there is zucchini in it. And it cooks into it so when he examines it - he can't see it!
I didn't take pictures of the chocolate my daughter made when they were new and fresh - but here are so battered ones - she had left over from the Choi Kwang Do party.

Today I am going to Cumming, GA to meet Becky and Linda for lunch. My daughter and GS are going here . . . White Water.
GS starting on the rope walking over the water.
A lot of people can't make this.
Thanks to his Choi Kwang Do - he's little, but strong.
He's waiting to come back - it is much higher and he always has to swim back.
Got on the first one to come back - thought he'd ride back.
Nope fell in.
Swam back. And out to start all over again. Where do they get all that energy from?

One more thing - word verification. Did you know that blogger has a comment filter that works great. Just this last month I had 33 spams or anonymous notes. Not one appeared on my blog because of their filter.
You go to your dashboard - go to comments - then go to spam - and you will see all the spam they have collected for you. You go thru them and mark them spam or not. Easy peasy. This way you can save the step work verification.
Personally I find that takes up a lot of time when you post. And sometimes I'll post a comment and my hand moves so fast that I go ahead and then see the word verification and it's too late. I'm just wondering here and just suggesting. lol

So what is on YOUR agenda for today? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thought for the day:
"Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying, 'Wow, this is it.' I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." ~ Harrison Ford
