Great day with my daughter in Bordeaux !
Spa, crêpes, ferris wheel, cinema (Sonic 3 
)
We had a lot of fun 
Time to do a little #Introduction post since I am now on a new instance.
I was the former admin of AllThingsTech.social along with my good friend @beardedtechguy but we had to shut it down, which means it was time to find a new home. Starting today and going forward, the place I call home will be infosec.exchange.
My previous account was: @CliffWade
Here's a little bit about me. I'm currently 53, a very happy #Husband, a #Cat dad to two amazing kitties, Bess(16) and Kumquat(4), lover of all things #Tech and I've been playing #VideoGames since the early 1970's and have yet to run out of lives. I'm also a part-time #Blogger / #Writer I guess you can say. I also love to post about #Nature #Sunrise #Sunsets #Food and numerous other things.
I like to ramble a lot when I post, which is part of why I came to infosec.exchange as I needed that 11,000 post character limit. 🤪
I think for now, that's about all I can think of, but I'll leave all my other social media platform links below in case you would like to connect with me elsewhere along the way.

Wacky Cake
This recipe comes from the Great Depression when butter, eggs, and milk were rationed.
DRY
1.5 cups flour
1 cup white sugar *
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp baking SODA
1/2 tsp salt
WET
1 cup warm water
6 tbsp oil*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
1. Preheat oven 350°F
2. Spray oil two 8"x8" baking pans. ** This needs to done BEFORE you mix the batter.
3. In a large bowl add all DRY ingredients and whisk well to distribute the baking soda evenly. Create a well in the center.
4. In another bowl, add and stir together all the WET ingredients.
5. Give the wet ingredients a quick stir to incorporate the oil and slowly pour into the DRY ingredients. Whisk together until all the lumps are gone. The batter will froth a bit because the vinegar and baking soda are reacting.
6. IMMEDIATELY divide the batter between the two baking pans. Tap the pans on the counter to remove any larger bubbles. Place in oven and bake at 350°F for 12-15 mins.
** Until tooth pock pulls clean.
* I use 3/4 cup of sugar and only 5 tbsp oil to reduce calories.
This cake also freezes well.
If you use 2 - 8"x8" pans the layers will be thin and will cook with 12-15 minutes.
** If use only 1- 8"x8" pan, it will take 18-20 mins.
Extra: instead of frosting, I add a handful of chocolate chips to top of cake when come out of oven to melt, then spread evenly w spatula. This creates a chocolate coating like on z dingdong.
