My 2 layer cake became a 4 layer cake earlier this month because the layers came out so flat.  I was so disappointed in my baking abilities (my mom blamed the mix), but determined to make this work.  So I made a 4 layer half of a cake.  With lots of chocolate cream cheese icing.  Mark and I had 2 big pieces and I took the rest to work where it was devoured by our programming team.

We started this meal with burgers we cooked at home.   Mark nailed these.  Crisp on the outside with a little sear.  It didn’t hurt that they were 80% beef, 20% bacon burgers.
