the wednesday rush

Wednesday is always my busiest day, but its the day I look forward to the most. Every Wednesday my BFF and I go for lunch. (you are probably thinking, well she didn't go to lunch with me! ladies calm down, Vo has been my friend for 18 yrs and I love her! not to say that i don't love my other friends, but Vo is just different and I hope you all can accept it). Usually, I get the kids of to school and go grocery shopping, then serve pizza at my daughters school. After that I meet Vo for lunch, we hang out until I have to drive carpool. Then my kids are home and its a mad rush for homework, dinner, showers and bed. So Wednesdays are busier but only bc I want it to be. I like  to have fun with my friends.
Well today was crazy. The power lines were being worked on so the power was being turned off for a few hours. I had to get my baking in early. I was making a strawberry shortcake (the character) for my friends 4 year old. I baked the cake, go the kids off to school, went to the butcher, went to Michael's, went to on grocery store to buy milk, and then home to unload the groceries. Then it was time for lunch. Had a great lunch with vo. I resisted the mozzarella sticks and got a salad instead. (yeah me). Came home for 30  min. IN that 30 minutes, I made 4lbs of frosting and made all the colors and filled the bags and started the cake. I got so involved that I was late for carpool. I came home finished the cake in only 5 minutes.  The fastest cake I ever made and not the best. The funny part is that this cake is what started my cake business. I like to think i have come along way but this cake doesn't show it. Oh well. So on to dinner.
Tonight's dinner is "cream" broccoli soup, home made chicken nuggets and rice. I was going to make dinner for a friend, but she decided not to bother me.  (i have never been so glad, I need a minute to breathe).

Dinner pics wll be up soon along with recipes, but for now, I need to cook!

Can you guess which one was my first and which was made in less then 20 minutes?
