A couple of items I will be using today for our celebratory dinner are:
A mango weighing nearly 2 pounds, a gift from Mexico.
A sifter that is not only a great baking aid, but was hand painted by my great aunt many many years ago.
Now I get a chance to remind you that voting in the Iron Cupcake Challenge begins today at noon!

There are several outstanding vegan entries, so be sure to *Vote Vegan* at No One Puts Cupcake in a Corner.
(In case you forgot, my entry is Texas Torpedo Cupcakes.)
