the man can bake! we had a dinner with friends last night to talk over some church stuff, and we were in charge of dessert. what to bring? ice cream? too obvious. Wes's "famous" chocolate sauce? not enough pizazz. hmmm . . . strawberry tart with red currant jelly glaze? perfect!Wes saw this being made on PBS a few weeks ago and hasn't been able to rid its image from his
sugar-coated mind. after a drive to my dad's to borrow a tart pan and a lunch break run to the store for a pastry brush (which he just had to have), Wes was ready to go. he wouldn't even let me 
help when i offered to finish it in the morning so he could go to bed (he was up till almost midnight monday night). his response . . . 'I just kind of want to see this through." okay then.the tart was met by a thunderous applause at dinner. sadly, there was none left to take home. another party saved from the doldrums of brownies and ice cream by Wes Gaines.

Looks amazing, Wesser!
I've been finding some pretty amazing recipes from this blogsite:

They always make really innovative stuff with cheap, organic vegetarian ingredients.
We should have a gaineslampi bake off.

Andrew count us in on the GL cookoff...especially if there's a bet involved jk....kind of
I heard this one in class today along the same lines:
Idiot boy who thinks he's a pimp: "Why don't women wear watches?"
Me: Why Joe?
Joe: "Because there's already a clock on the stove."
That set back his chances of getting a date for Prom this year..and next year.
This came after another boy in class commented on how EARLY I get up in the morning on Satuday's; and my explanation of the obvious...ninos, duh?
"Profe, that's what your wife is for...to get up with the kids."
To make a long story short; I seized the final 2 minutes of class for a teachable moment and I got Stephanie on speaker phone and she told the girls...."RUN, run as fast as you can from them."
What's wrong with Ice Cream and brownies??
Proud of you Wes. But this will NOT be added to man's day.
