Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

 There's nothing worse than baking a cake and having no one to feed.  Sally is quite adamant about this, and I'm not about to argue.  Remember the delicious cake we made last week?  Remember how quick and easy it was to make?  Well, it wasn't half as easy to eat an entire cake between the two of us.


Reduce: Sally and I spent last week slowly making our way through slices of cake until it was about halfway gone.  Now, I'm not going to say that we grew sick of it, because how can you get sick of cake?  But we did grow a little tired of eating it... and our hands were itching to make something new.
Reuse: So we decided to use the leftovers to make cakeballs, similar to the ones we made for Halloween last year.  Except this time, there was no recipe.  No guidelines to follow.  These cakeballs were done completely freehand, and turned out amazing.
Recycle: And of course by the end we were left with the same problem as the beginning: too much food and not enough people to feed.  So what did we do?  Shipped it out to friends across the land, in hopes that they would get as much use out of them as we did.
