It's also not the healthiest cake but when it tastes this good, believe me, you don't care! Ted had tried this cake a few months ago and was hooked immediately. At this last dinner I took it upon myself to bake the famous cake all by myself. And surprisingly I didn't eat nearly as much of the batter as I normally do when my mom bakes it! It turned out perfect and it is now some thing that I "should make all the time" - according to Ted . Due to the caloric factor, I think I'll keep it for special occasions. When I was a little girl my mom used to make it for me every year for my birthday. All my life I have had two birthday traditions. The first one being the banana cake; the second one is when I go to sleep the night before my birthday, my parents come and sneak into my room and cover my entire floor with balloons. Even though I always know it's coming, it still always makes me so happy and excited. When I went off to college in Hawaii my parents told my roommate about it and, being the great friend she is, I woke up to a room full of balloons - tradition continued.
Traditions are important. They help build great memories. My family has a set of traditions, some that keep expanding and others that have faded but there are few that I know I will carry out when I have a family some day.
That's all for today...Happy Monday!
