Vegan Wacky Cupcakes with Cocoa-dusted Vanilla Frosting This week's creative endeavor comes in edible form: Cupcakes for my coworker's birthday. This moist chocolate cake is known as wacky cake, depression cake, crazy cake, or war cake. (I even had an aunt who called it poor man's cake.)

Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub.  “Three?” “Yes, three.”“Men?”“Yes, men.  Well, future men. Men to be.”“So, boys.” “I suppose, yes.” “Do you have their consent?”“I do not.

(It was originally going to be a scarf, but I didn't make my warp long enough, so at 42" it makes a better table runner.) It is particularly appropriate that I finished it today, on the same day I received word that a friend had left this world. A friend to whom I sang "The Rainbow Connection" just two days ago as she lay in her hospice bed. A friend about whom we reminisced through tear
