I'm Delighted

Today we told Kennedy that the missionaries were coming for dinner tonight. Later, while I was making lunch, I heard her talking and she said, "I'm delighted the misiomaries are coming for dinner." I don't know where she heard the word 'delighted' but I decided it's a good word and I should use it more often.
I made a big mess making dinner for the missionaries tonight but it was worth it. Kennedy went with Chris to pick them up and she was wired when they got home. "Come with me missiomaries." She wanted to show them all her toys. She thought they were there to play with her. She asked them to tell her some stories about Jesus while I cleared the dinner dishes and got dessert ready.
For dinner we had Chicken Cordon Bleu Crepes, Bermuda Spinach Salad and Sticky Buns. For dessert we had Hot Fudge Cake which is one of our stand-by recipes. I don't make many desserts more than once because I have so many recipes I want to try but I make this one a lot. Here is the recipe:

HOT FUDGE CAKE
1 cup flour
¾ cup sugar
6 Tbs. baking cocoa, divided
2 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
½ cup milk
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 ¾ cups hot water
Whipped cream or ice cream
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 Tbs. cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Spread in an ungreased 9 inch square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over all; do not stir. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes. Serve warm. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.
