Big Kitchen/Dining Room

Finally our big kitchen/dining room has all the wall up. I'm hoping we can finish the wood floor before DH go back to work. Did I mention he procrastinate a lot? Yup, that's my DH.

However, I was tempted on tasting this delicacy so, I made half a batch for myself and whoever wanted to taste it with me in my household. DH and DD tasted it. DD wasn't too crazy about it, but DH helped me ate it. They are many ways to make this and I picked the bake one. I love the brownish crusty sweet on top. For recipe you can simply google it.
