Yes ma'am! I had to go out and get a stupid cake mix (strawberry) because after reading the pineapple upside down cake post I had to have cake. So yep at 1030 at night im baking a cake. No good! But I love you grandma t! Have you done that? Read something on here on tv and had to go get it no matter what time it is?
I do that when I watch food network or something that looks really good. Like "oh it's 10pm but I'm going to make a dinner for 5 anyways" haha.
Theresa N.'s hot dog post about ketchup vs. mustard made me want one ... but I was in no place to go get one! thank goodness :)
Funny!!!
I just made a nock of version of a pineapple upside down cake myself after reading her post... Wonder how many others...lol
Oh, yes. I do that all the time. My husband must find it endearing ;)
If I knew how the heck to make an upside down cake, I'd probably be in the kitchen making a huge mess right now!
well, thank goodness I'm not the only one baking!
My niece requested a Mississipi Mudslide Pie for her BD....only the reality of this is that it is a secret recipe served at Gma's best friend's restaurant! Yeah, right.....I can make that for you, my Beloved Niece. I'll just search/google until I find a recipe that sounds close.....
Soooo after many consultations btwn my sis, my mom, & me.....we decided upon a tried & true recipe from my MIL. We figure it has all of the same ingredients....therefore the BD girl can't complain too much. But we all know she will!.....she loves that pie & Gma forgot to order one :(
I think the worst part is that this is a pudding/mousse-based dessert & it has to travel 2 hours in 90+temps 2moro! We'll be packing ice all the way!
This got me really wanting strawberry shortcake. Thanks alot! ;)
LOL yeah I do that all the time. I've been baking forever so the problem is that at this point, I can pretty-much bake whatever I have a hankering for and usually have the ingredients on-hand. Tonight I made a cake for my FIL's birthday. I planned on doctoring a Devil's Food cakemix (my standby for chocolate cake) but needed 3 eggs and only had 1, so I searched around and found another recipe that needed only 2 eggs and then I substituted stuff for the egg I was missing. So even if I don't have the right ingredients (a big fat sign that my hips don't need to wear whatever I'm baking) I make do and plow ahead anyway. So tonight's concoction is a three-layer sour cream chocolate cake from scratch with peanut-butter-cream-cheese frosting and chocolate ganache. Who's hungry now? Can't wait to slice into this this tomorrow!
At least I'm not the only baking so late at night. It's 11:45 here and I've got a cake in the oven. It's a homemade cocoa and vanilla swirl sheet cake. The homemade cocoa icing is cooling on the counter so it's ready to go when the cake is done.
a lot of nights I wish i could go to the store after seeing something - on here, tv, fb...but can't leave the girls sleeping to run the block up. too afraid something would happen! but now that you mention it....I am a little hungry!
.
I have been dreaming of one since I read her post.
I think, while my son is amused with his friends this evening, I may bake.
:)
But we love Grandma T anyway.
i liked it when i was pregnant because everyone understood!
I wish I could eat pineapple. )o:
