Dark Chocolate Cake II
Perfect recipe with no modifications. I baked it in a bundt pan and frosted with a chocolate cream cheese icing. Will make another later this week and try a different frosting so I have an excuse to present another cake to the family.

Creamed Chipped Beef On Toast
Loved the simplicity of this recipe. My son and I just had this for lunch served over a plate of crispy crackers. I added beef bouillon to the thickening roux and though it added an even hardier flavor.

Fluffy Lime Salad
This is a nice great blend of flavor and texture. So easy to make I was able to talk my 16 yr old son through preparing it for us. He doubled the recipe and made the whipped cream using a pint of cream and whipping it with a bit of powdered sugar and vanilla extract. We shared with neighbors mostly to show off!
