We are dealing with another bout of illness at home. Little D was on his last day of antibiotics for his ear when it flared up again and now he is on round two. Mr. T was feeling left out due to this ongoing illness with Little D so he has "sympathy stomach." I had to drive to school twice to pick up each kid. Spent the better part (two hours) of a lovely sunny day in a waiting room. Not how I had imagined the day. So with two sick kids in front of the TV I had some free time. I decided to make us a nice, pick-me-up dinner. Spaghetti with chicken meatballs, homemade sauce and a chocolate cake complete with frosting. Needless to say we overate and that it was awesome! Here are the recipes (http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/10/baked-chicken-meatballs/ and http://www.marthastewart.com/334278/busy-day-chocolate-cake) and the pictures to drool over!
Smacznego!

Making frosting seems like such an extra bother, but it was so worth it! The chocolaty cake and the vanilla butter cream frosting were a match made in heaven. Plus, the cake isn't too big, so we won't be eating it for a week, which is nice, but gets a bit tedious.

| Frosted cake is approved! |

| So good! |
My only hope is that the extra frosting will make the kids feel better again. Wonders never cease!

| No frosting left behind! | | |
