PD's favorite cake is Boston Cream Pie which we usually purchase. This year I thought I would bake him one and it was well received. I always wondered why it is called a pie when it's actually a cake. So after "googling" the origin I found that this cake was probably called a pie because in the mid-nineteenth century, pie tins were more common than cake pans. The first versions might have been baked in pie tins. Boston Cream Pie is a remake of the early American "Pudding-cake pie." 
Saturday Jen and KL spent the whole day at Reedley College in Reedley, California, while KL participated in a statewide competition as part of the Madera County 4-H team. The 4-H Horse Classic is split into two competitions—the Educational Contests (Saturday's competition) and the Champion Horse Show. KL said it was the most difficult competition she has even been in and she learned what she needs to study more for next year. She was competing with kids who were state champions last year. When the day was over, though, she came home with five ribbons and we couldn't be more proud.Life is good!
