Harvest Party Time is here !

Thought I would share this"harvest" cake with you. There are so many things you can make between now and Thanksgiving which are seasonal, fall and harvest themes. This decorated cake can be a plain yellow, spice or carrot . This one was decorated with a white vanilla icing and then the "pumpkin festival" stacked pumpkins are held on top with icing. It is a fun dessert to
brighten up a party , social or Sunday dinner. Hope you are enjoying the lovely fall colors this year which is the only good thing to come out of the drought this past summer.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN too to those of you who are planning to trick or treat or hand out candy.. let's hope for good weather this year. Also preview for Nov: We will have a FOX 19 watch out for Nov. 7 at 8:45 **( later time) more next week as we get closer to our BIG November.

We are happy to announce that Oscar 9 the peluxecincinnati.com mascot who was our four legged "stroller" for the CINCINNATI AND SOUP team- completed the 1 mile stroll first ! This was a big deal for his short little legs.. and we were very proud of him. Here is his picture at the finish line. There is still time to donate to the CINCINNATI AND SOUP team at the Humane Assn .of Warren Co. website- through this week.

At the present time we are going to be walking with "OSCAR" the mascot from www.petluxecincinnati.com, THE pet information site in Cincinnati. ( If you aren't signedup for their newsletter you are missing great ideas for dogs and cats!) As Oscar is a miniature poodle he will be only up to the 1 mile walk- you can walk 2 or 3 miles on Sat. Oscar is "in training"now for the walk doing 1 mile every day to "get in shape" ! By the way , Oscar IS a rescued dog and is happy to be one. Hope to see you on Saturday and hope that your home and

Wine and Whiskers

 

Thought I would give you all a "heads up" on WINE AND WHISKERS, which is a great wine, craft beer AND bourbon tasting  event for the League for Animal Welfare in Cincinnati, Sept. 29, 2012. This is an "advance ticketed" event ONLY so you have to  pre-register at the League for AnimalWelfare website: www.lfaw.org/ CINCINNATI AND SOUP will have some of our decorator prints at the silent auction so this is a great time to pick some up as holiday gifts and help LFAW  care and feed their rescued dogs and cats.
