Laurie always makes a nice dinner to celebrate Groundhog Day, ending with the traditional groundhog cake. I'll post a series showing the cakes through the years. The design has settled down to this basic shape. The teeth are white chocolate, the nostrils are represented by raisins, the eyes are chocolate chips and the feet and ears are dried apricots. The cake itself is chocolate.She chose Groundhog Day because it's whimsical and it hasn't been blown out into some sort of commercial extravaganza yet, except in Punxsutawney, PA. We can make of it what we like. We like cake.
The dinner menu includes some sort of meat dish we can call ground hog. A couple of years it was pork, though this year it was sauerbraten. Excellent!
