Yesterday morning, the scale said that I had dropped another 2 pounds. I guess that I wanted to gain it all back in one meal with Fried Pound Cake With Orange Syrup. This was VERY good, though...and the fresh flavor of the orange is deceptively light...almost makes you forget about the calories. LOL
