Cake or Pie?

As the holiday season approaches, I have been considering the importance of this question.  For your information, I am decidedly pro-pie.  The reason is simple.  In a pie, the vast majority of the dessert is good stuff--the filling.  The crust takes up very little of the overall whole.  In a cake, however, the good stuff--the icing--comprises a very small percentage of the complete dessert.  Let's be honest.  Very few people really like the cake itself.  It's all about the frosting!  The cake simply provides a convenient platform upon which to place the frosting.  I think I would be more open to the cake persuasion if someone were to invent a cake that was like a pie.  The inside would be all frosting with a thin layer of cake on the outside!  Now that would be something about which to get excited!  Anyway, you can weigh in on this important subject by submitting your vote in the poll to the right.  The holidays are quickly approaching, so you had better make up your mind soon!

DFV is Back!!!

To date, it has been almost 9 months since the last episode of Doan Family Videos.  The reason for the delay had nothing to do with the writer's strike or anything like that.  The truth is...I just didn't do any.  It's not that I didn't want to--it's just that...I didn't (do any).  I have been busy with school, moving, babies, and other paraphernalia for the last nine months, but that's not really an excuse.  I guess maybe I just needed a sabbatical.  Anyway, the videos are back and better than ever!  The look is new, but the heart and soul of DFV remains steadfast--to capture the moments of the unfolding drama that is the story of our family!  Below, you will find the first installment from the exciting third season!  (Approximately 10 minutes long) Thanks for taking time to look at it, and be sure to check back soon to see what happens next!
