Topic: Apple Cake in the Oven

Here's one I wrote today about doing house fix-ups and the most pleasant aroma of Apple Cake cooking in the oven that distracts even the most focused DIY'er. Posted if you want to hear how it goes: https://soundcloud.com/jets60/apple-cake-in-the-oven

Re: Apple Cake in the Oven

Nice one Jeff  It  made me hungry for some of that pie!!! 
I can smell the aroma all the way up here in NY !!

No wonder you had errors in the project - impossible to concentrate with that aroma flowing around.

Well done, Jets, you seem to have the ability to write about anything and everything easily, a natural talent.   Nicely done.  P.S., if you get the chance have a listen to my 2 entries for this month's FSOTM, cheers.

Re: Apple Cake in the Oven

Cracker Jeff with some "interesting" rhymes.  I'll give it a listen later as I'm running out of battery. Ps, I prefer my apples fresh off the tree and pastry gives me heart burn, other than that great song.
