I want cake.

4. I know. Time and space are critical for good baking.

Half of my baking is usually done on the dining room table shooing cats.
But since I've had to rely more on the grandkids to help clean the kitchen over the last couple months, the house is beginning to look as if we were just hit by a tornado and there's no room for anything.

I can't even bribe them with baking lessons and treats to get them to do more than four dishes at a time, or just picking up off the floor and half-assed put away.

First thing I learned to make - at the age of six was home-made strawberry shortcake and whipped cream. After that I had no problems helping to pick up and put away, so we had room to make treats on the weekends...
