I dont think ostrich steaks are actuall called for. But it's lean meat and we're allowed a load of that lol.

I don't know if your pumpkin cake is home made or not. If you need a recipe, this one is really good. I converted all of it to metric weight measurements so I can multiply it easily. But I can attest that it tastes good but for the spice being a little tame. I do about 1.5 the spices to give it a little shot in the arm.

Also, I can appreciate the nice looking table you set for yourself. Very nice.

I fully admit the cake was store bought. I'm okay with semi home made. and I don't have a lot of room for baking let alone having the baking gene but...you got a recipe for a simple but nice spice or honey type cake by any chance ??
As for the table. well to all my bachelor comrades out there I say.....it's not gonna set itself . I got tired of coming home to a bachelor looking pad years ago and decided that my home should always look like my parents home did when I would visit them...welcoming ,cozy and civilized ..

That and if you haven't figured out by now......I'm into table settings and such things...it's the artist in me.

I do. It's pain d'epices. It's both spice and honey. Give me some time to get it into a format I can share.

As for the table, it's surprising but it's my wife that could care less about it. I used to set quite a table when we were dating. I didn't know she was indifferent. I no longer bother.
