So baking here in Orient is a bit harder than Chapel Hill.  Some ingredients are not available anywhere especially vegan stuff for Nell. Couldn't find vegan sour cream anywhere but Tofutti cream cheese was finally procured at a King Kullen many miles away.  

Making a Banana Monkey Tail cake takes me to my happy place.  It's a towering plate of pleasure that delights everyone who tries it.  It won a prize at Cooking Channel when I worked there in 2012.

It's very tall cake and a bit messy to ice but the nutella and whipped cream cheese frosting kind of makes up  for in flavor what it lacks in neatness.  Neatness doesn't always count.  Taste does.

Tom has been kayaking and I've been goat spotting. These kids took one look at Max and ran behind their Daddy or Mommy (I really don't know).  I think they belong to Go Fresh so go figure.

Made a wonderful pasta dish last week with goat cheese, asparagus, thyme and lemon. Thank you, goats!

I want to try these on the grill very soon!
