Boy, some days I just don't feel like blogging...and for no reason. So I can just imagine how you feel about it, too. But I hope you'll find cooking and talking therapeutic and you'll continue to share. Would love to be sitting around the kitchen with you, enjoying a slice of this beautiful cake!<br /><a href="http://healthhide.com/" rel="nofollow">Cancer</a>aslamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314849361481441880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342867947056717995.post-28421202493526134372016-07-04T10:16:28.054-07:002016-07-04T10:16:28.054-07:00I'm so glad your blog can now be an outlet for...I'm so glad your blog can now be an outlet for you again.

Unfortunately, I've had too many friends and family that have dealt with cancer. It is not easy but I think your positive attitude helps not only you but can also help others. Your coffee cake and a cup of tea would be a perfect way to start the day.

To me the only rule should be that a blog contains what you want it to contain. The only thing I ever want my blog to be is authentic. So do what feels right. <br /><br />Now have some more of that delicious cake.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342867947056717995.post-52961958828008169772016-07-01T06:54:58.111-07:002016-07-01T06:54:58.111-07:00Yes, it is healing, Susan.

I've been wondering where you were, and figured you had a really good reason for not posting. Cancer is tough -- my mom died from it (lymphoma, although at the end she had breast cancer too -- probably her lymphoma spreading). I can understand some of the pain, both physical and emotional, you're experiencing. Takes a lot of grit to deal with what's on your plate. Good luck. And thanks for sharing this recipe!
