And YOU thought I couldn't do it!!

The first 5 pictures tell the whole story--it was a cold Christmas Day and day after--remember this is SOUTH Florida--people come here in Winter to get away from the cold weather! At least we had a beautiful sunset Christmas Day.
ALL the naysayers owe me an apology!! Look at pictures in the middle and lower left--more important look at the dates!! I have had this in my possession 4 days and all I did was look under the wrap and, yes, it is CARROT CAKE and I haven't touched it--didn't even take off the wrapper and the cover to smell it!!
I remember many years ago I was told whatever you are doing on New Year's Eve you will be doing the rest of the year--I plan to be eating this carrot cake at midnight on December 31, 2020 and not until then. (It is now in the freezer which wouldn't stop me from eating it but it is safer!)
In the 11th picture is the last crop of homegrown peppers that I picked today.
In the last picture is a 'shield' I was given as a present--I prefer a mask.

That carrot cake wouldn't last that long in my house. I cooked one for Thanksgiving and it lasted about three days. ??

If it does not warm up I am going to scream but what good will that do? I sure hope you'll be eating carrot cakes all through the New Year in that case I have to borrow money because at midnight I would love to have some champagne and caviar

That is cold - actually much colder than us! Ohhhh, you got your carrot cake and you smartly stashed it away in the freezer for now 
- end of the year, end of the cake . Your harvest looks festive for Christmas. I have not gotten a shield yet either . . . but if I did I'd still wear the mask.
Merry belated Christmas to you!!

@GreatMartin We will continue wearing masks . We told Santa to take it easy this year - but Christmas was good. Happy New Year's Eve to you . . . may 2021 be a better and brighter year!! And more carrot cake for you .

I agree with you on that one. It has been a very trying Christmas day as far as the weather was concerned. Used to it being in the 70's at the very least. It was shocking to only be in the 650's. It'll start a warming trend though. Hope New Years day isn't like today or Christmas day.

@GreatMartin I have never tasted carrot cake 
I believe it's very strange to you, but it's true, I haven't even heard of anyone here preparing it. Thank you for the recipe

I can't stand to see the cake wherever they are. Usually the cake only lasts 2-3 days at my house.

2-3 days???? Once it is opened the cake will be gone!! I don't know what a 'leftover' is or what 'moderation' means!!
