a little different

I spent an awfully long time on

a certain site the other day

some of you will know what I mean

:)

I have to break my very very bad habit

 it is addicting to just sit and scroll through all those bloody photos of all that lovely stuff

and get lost in it all

but one good thing did come of it

Madhu found a lovely recipe for a lovely cake

which made me get up and make it

almost immediately

I will link the recipe for you

so you too can make it

and thank my addiction to a certain site

as all the leaves have just about fallen off the trees and there really isn't any pretty to shoot

I give you

inside the kitchen

 :)

and for those up over the Northern Border

this is all made with organic whole food

so he can have a piece

which he already did

so all is good!!!

take a stick of butter

 or 1/2 c

(or whatever that is in cc mm and Kg!!!!)

3/4c sugar

I use organic sugar which is why it doesn't look white

beat it to a pulp!!!

separate 3 eggs

(and no don't put two on one side of the room and the other one in the corner!!!

remember that joke? no? oh well......  sound of crickets!!!)

add the yolks to the butter mixture and beat together with 2 tsp vanilla and 1/4 c of yogurt

whip the whites until stiff

sift 1 1/2 c flour and 1 tsp baking soda

and mix into the butter egg mixture

mix it well

now fold in the beaten egg whites

in two parts and fold until it's all one colour

take two apples

and

make them naked

as I used to tell my friend who didn't speak English so well

and didn't understand

peel

:) :) :)

slice them thinly and mix into the batter

put  the batter into a

9" spring form pan that has been buttered and floured

level it

add cranberries mixed with some sugar

or as I did blueberries

on top

cook in a 350F oven for

50 -60 mins

and

yumO

sprinkle with some icing sugar

I did do that

but I didn't, for some unknown reason,

take a picture of

it

here is the original recipe that was linked to

breton Apple cake

mine has the twist that was on

Pinterest

even tho' I used blueberries and not the cranberries

 because the twits at the grocery store had  put the cranberries right under one of those water jets they use to make the veggies all soggy and shiny

and the berries were rotting there in their bags

:{

so I had some frozen blueberries that I had forgotten about in the freezer

...

so

that's two places for you to go and if you have the time and inclination

make the cake for the weekend and the family will love you lots

and now for those of you who have been wanting to make one of those

round  pillows that have differently coloured segments

like an orange on LSD!!!

not that I know what that is

and wondered how on earth they are made

I have found out and I will show you

along with the

double knitting that I didn't get up yet

but I will

today sometime

so this weekend you can sit down

eat cake and make a very very retro

round

high on something weird

cushion

that will make your couch look like your great grandma came to visit

and left you a treasure!!

hope your skies are blue

or it rains, if that's what you want

so you can sit infront of a roaring fire and

sip tea

eat cake

and

knit a

treasure
