Handsome Son is coming over later today, working the Fourth, so I'm seizing the day and the cake. Original recipe used strawberries, but I went for blueberries. See my valuable handwritten notes, now lodged in the Big Binder
This is from YouTube, make it in five minutes they said. Not counting the hour to bake it. Nor the fifteen minutes looking up grams to cups. But it did come out looking good. Later I'll cut into it. I want him to see it before it's cut. There's an extra pleasure in seeing it then.
And in the course of reading a Joanne Fluke mystery, I saw what probably everyone but me knew: you don't have to buy thousand island dressing. She studs her mysteries with recipes because her detective is in food. So I tried this today.
Ketchup, mayonnaise, sweet relish. Mixed up. Applied to hot dog. Really good
So this is another thing I don't have to buy, added to the list of buttermilk, brown sugar, curry powder, crumpets, crackers. That list is longer than I realized. It includes sweater racks, garden sprinklers, heddles and other things starting to come to mind now I'm thinking about the category.
Well, happy Fourth to everyone celebrating it, pleasant Saturday to everyone else!
