a visit to the sarah dessert
Jun. 1st, 2005 08:47 pmWell, the dessert question is getting attacked from both sides. My sister is making lemon cake, carrot cake, and chocolate cake; I'm taking the angel food, red apple cake, and snowball/Mexican wedding cookies. People are going to roll out of that house, I swear. Nobody will be able to say that Grandma didn't cultivate culinary skills in her female descendants.
The other fun with this setup is that, by Friday, I'll have baked/cooked something every other night this week. Pie early Monday, zucchini Monday night, scones last night, German chocolate cake tonight (work birthday tomorrow--I'm getting free pizza lunch out of the deal), and the extravaganza tomorrow. I'm thinking I should do the apple cake tonight, as it's easy and keeps well. Just chop apples, dump ingredients, stir, glop, bake. I don't even chop up the walnuts, just sort of mush the bag they come in. Nobody seems to have a problem with it. And hey, I can take the can of whipped cream we haven't found a good use for since buying it.
