| Everyone is coming here!!!! Well, I'm not cooking, but we are having a big dinner. I went to Honey Baked Ham, and they did all the cooking. The bakery made the cake, and RobinsonsMay sold the Govida. So I'm all set! Happy Easter All!!!!

| Glad, Unfortunately, the beer bread is a box from Tastefully Simple that you just add a can of beer to.. LOL DOn't really have a recipe.. It's awesome though. You should try and find a tastefully simple consultant in your area. The stuff is great! Here's the cake that we're doing.. I just got it off a Betty Crocker website! INGREDIENTS: 1 (18 ounce) package Betty CrockerŽ Carrot Cake Mix 1 cup water 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 (12 ounce) can Betty CrockerŽ Whipped fluffy white ready-to-spread frosting 1 cup flaked coconut construction paper jelly beans or small gumdrops 1 cup flaked coconut green food color -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 . Grease (or lightly spray with cooking spray) bottoms only of two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans. Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pans. Bake 8-inch pans 25 to 30 minutes, 9-inch pans 22 to 27 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Reserve one layer for another use or to make a second bunny. Cut 1 layer in half as shown in diagram . Put halves together with frosting to form body. Place cake upright on cut edge on tray. Cut out a notch about one-third of the way up one end of body to form head (small end) as shown in diagram. Attach half of cutout piece for tail with toothpicks. Frost with remaining frosting, rounding body on sides. Sprinkle with 1 cup coconut. Cut ears from construction paper; press into top. Use jelly beans for eyes and nose. Shake 1 cup coconut and 3 drops food color in tightly covered jar until evenly tinted. Surround bunny with tinted coconut. Add additional jelly beans if desired. Store loosely covered. |

| Can I come to someones house? None of my kids are coming, only one of my kids lives close and they are going to her in-laws. So I'm not going to make a big dinner. I was going to work in the garden, but it rained yesterday so it is too wet. I might go and get some Scotts and fertilize and try to get rid of some dandelions. It's Ollie's bath day and toenail trim, and I might try to make some hair bows. |

3 Cups Self-Rising Flour 3 T sugar 1 Can Beer 2 T melted butter Bake 350 for 45 minutes. The flavor of the bread is determined by the beer you use. You don't want to use light beer. I love this bread with homemade soup in the winter time and I use a dark ale so it has a strong flavor of the hops. The top is a little lumpy looking but reminds me of European bread - which I like... P.S. I don't know if you can substitute the butter - I somewhat doubt it but you are the expert on that.. Let me know what you think after you have tried it.
