OT Who's coming over for dinner?

Oh me, oh me, oh please let it be ME! The ribs and death by chocolate sound wonderful. But actually, you can hold the beans. If I learned anything during Hurricane Frances, it's not to feed nine people hot dogs, baked beans and deviled eggs two days in a row. OMG!!! =oP

Good Lawd that's just wroooong!

Well I know this....NOW! Ooooops! My bad! Maybe subconciously I was hoping they would all float away! *snicker* Dawn

How long do you cook your BAKED BEADS to get them tender??????????? :-D

No cooking--I like them raw, lol!

Dinette Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 C flour 1 C sugar 1 1/2 ts baking soda 1/2 ts salt 3/4 C milk 1/3 C shortening 1 egg 1 ts vanilla

Mix all ingredients, beat on medium-high for 3 minutes, scrape into cake pans, and bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

I can and will, given the oppty, eat one these babies all by myself in one sitting. It's the only sweet that doesn't seem to bother my inherited sugar teeth.

(Ray, no reaching for the wrong bottle!)

Sounds like a pain old white or yellow cake. What makes it so special? (I'm honestly curious. I love cakes, etc.)

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Margie :

]I'll make dinner if you make the dessert!

YOU'RE ON!

I don't really know. *shrugging* It just comes out soooo moist and delicious. And for some odd reason, it's even better if you tint it blue.

OH NO!!!! I don't do blue food any more!!! I used to love blue food when I was little. Then a blue slushie left me a bit queasy all afternoon a couple of years ago. And then I had alovely blue Martini one evening about a year and ahalf ago. that did it! No more blue food for me.

I may have to try the cake tho. What do you top it with?

Ahh..well. I've tinted it all kinds of colors--blue just happened to be the last color we used:) I don't put anything on this cake--for one, I don't like frosting (unless it's buttercream) and for two it just doesn't need anything.

I don't need frosting either but it seems that if you have two round cakes, you need to stack them up and put something between the layers. Not necessary but common.

Very true. *grins* Okay, I gotta admit, I never make it as far as actually stacking them--one is always devoured by me and the kids as soon as it's barely cool enough to touch! If I were to put frosting on it, I'd go with cream cheese frosting, or french vanilla.

Cream cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese frosting. Oh man - now my keyboard is all slobbery!
