According to ancient Rome,
Dog Days of Summer
last from July 23 to August 24.
Well, I'm here to tell you that
with the Texas heat,
Dog Days
of lethargy and inactivity are still here.
It's definitely the season
for afternoon naps
for afternoon naps
followed by a refreshing treat.
Like an icy cold
glass of lemonade.
Along with a slice of
delicious Meyer Lemon cake.

Nothing better on a hot summer day
than citrus drinks to quench one's thirst.
Any way you slice it,
this lemon cake is full of goodness.
Tangy with a
touch of sweetness.
Elegant and Light
An afternoon citrus refresher.
"When are you going to stop talking
and cut the cake, Mom?"
"I'm ready!"
The Perfect Refresher
~ Dog Days of Summer ~
YUMMY!
One of the things I've gleaned from watching my "chef"
is the importance of mise en place, having all ingredients
measured and prepared before one begins cooking.
This practice enables one to cook efficiently and eliminates
the possibility of leaving out a step or ingredient.
Another tip for you when making
this recipe is to use a spring form pan.
Using a large flat spatula like
above also allows easy transfer.
You'll find the recipe here
where I originally shared it for
Cooking With The Meyers.
Silver trays, flatware, plates, and
vase were all thrifty finds.
