You might call me Raggedy Annie's crotchety old Granny because I am very irritated with myself!!! This is Sunday .. I don't know why but for some reason on Sunday I always feel like I should be fixing a very nice meal and making a dessert of some kind. (Mom's fault I think!!) I don't always do it but I feel like I should. I did fix a pretty decent lunch .. BBQ Ribs (bought from the store already cooked), Green Beans and Fried Potatoes .. also already cooked on another day and left over so they were in the freezer!!! Then this afternoon I decided I would bake a Mayonnaise Cake .. haven't made one for a long time. I always have memories of Mom when I make a Mayonnaise Cake of course .. plus I was using the slotted spoon that she always used when stirring things up!!! Well, I don't know if it was the glass 9X13 pan I used or my ELECTRIC oven but the cake was not 1/2 as high as they usually get and is dry!!! And on top of that .. I put too much powdered Sugar in the Brown Sugar Icing I made for it and the Icing was too thick and wouldn't spread out to cover the whole cake!!! BUT .. that actually turned out for the best because the first thing Ken said when he came in the kitchen and saw me frosting it was .. where's the Chocolate Icing!!!! Soooooooo … I got out the can of Chocolate Icing we already had and put Chocolate Icing in the middle .. LOL!!!
Notice it is not very high .. only about halfway up the pan .. Arrrrggghhhh!!! It seems like every time I bake something in one of my glass cake pans it does not do well!!! I've got metal 9 x 13 pans but they don't have a lid .. sooooo .. I am going to be buying one with a lid. I will use it next time I bake something and see what happens!!!
AND if you need a chuckle listen to this!!! We met out friends Gini and Mike and Marsha at Pogolino's in De Soto yesterday evening for Supper then went to Gini and Mike's to play cards. I made a Banana Split Pie to take. Thank Goodness it turned out better than this cake .. very good and tasty .. too bad I didn't take a picture of it .. everybody said it was delicious .. I even thought it was!!! When we were getting ready to leave I was putting the lid back on the pie and then you have to crimp the edges of the foil around it and I was crimping away and ended up dropping the thing and of course it dumped all over the place .. so no delicious goody to bring home!!! Mike liked the dessert so well he grabbed a spoon and got down on the floor and started gobbling the part that landed back in the pan instead of on the floor .. LOL!!! You have to know Mike .. that's just the kinda person he is .. LOL!!! That was the main reason I felt I needed to make a dessert today .. Ken was whining because he didn't get to eat another piece of that delicious Banana Split Pie .. LOL!! It's the first time we've gotten together to play cards for a long time and we had a great time .. lots of laughs!!!
Oh my goodness .. it's 7:30 and I have only walked 1 1/2 miles .. I am trying to walk 4 miles a day .. that's a little over 10,000 steps for me!!! I did very well at it for a good while then got lazy and stopped even trying and now I'm trying to get back to it again because I felt a lot better when I was doing that. I have done pretty well this month until this weekend .. I only got a couple of miles yesterday and as you know 1 1/2 so far today!!! Too hot and muggy to do it outside so guess I'll do the treadmill. The good thing about doing the treadmill is that I can read while I walk so that makes it not quite so bad!!! Soooooo better get off of here and get to it .. don't know if anybody will read this or not but if you do .. have a Great Night .. or a Great Day .. depending on when you're reading it .. LOL!!!
