Apple Cake

So I have been wanting some apple cake.
Last time I made this cake ( in a cake pan) it was very good, but I want more of the outer edges.
So, I made them into cupcakes. Much much better! We can eat some and put some in the freezer for later.
This time I use the muffin top pans  and the little muffin bunt pans.

This apple cake is so moist and Super easy to make

Gluten Free Restaurant in Everett Marina,WA.:Lombardi’s neighborhood Italian restaurant

Today was suppose to be a work day. But the truck with our fixtures can't be there..their excuse # 99: it just showed up and we couldn't load it on the truck today to get to you.

I got the day off ( OK, 1/2 a day off) and Jim stayed at the store.

Goodwill shopping!!!!!!!wooooohooooo

So we had time to drive out to Everett, WA. and had dinner @Lombardi’s neighborhood Italian restaurant.

The food was great!!!  But the service was very slooow. we sat down and were given water right away but no one came back to check on us for at least 15 minutes. then 15 minutes more before our orders were taken. Jim saw another couple walk out, who were there before us. At the same time , we also see other tables being waited on and served for people who came in after us. No ideas what was going on. Again, the FOOD was GOOD :-)

Lombardi’s neighborhood Italian restaurant

The name “Lombardi’s” was chosen because “Lombardy” is a region in Italy.

Lombardi’s is pleased to offer many gluten free choices, including gluten free pasta.
