King Arthur visits ~

This lemon buttermilk cake is a mix...YES.  It has a fluffy batter that is light and generous filling the blossom Nordic cake pan which released its goodness easily and beautifully.  Both products from King Arthur.


Because I was fooling with the KING, I made this hurry-up dinner which was well received and very pretty.

 

I was so glad to see the two big boxes from King Arthur today. There is a lot of cooking going on around here.  This week end family from Cincinnati will be coming to the OSU game and then spending the night. As you know, someone or something has stolen October and no one seems to know where it went.  Now we have Thanksgiving looming on the horizon and then, of course, Christmas and then January at the beach house.  Once summer ends, you might as well kiss any peace good-bye.  It all seems so harried now days and I, of late, am always glad when it is over.  People try too hard to enjoy the holidays that once were filled with something different.  It is now like the New Year's eve party where everyone goes to extremes to show they are enjoying the occasion.  I like to buy gifts and give things during the year when it is needed and can be enjoyed because it is needed.  It gives not only pleasure but a sense of relief because the need is there.  I feel the same way about leaving 'stuff and money' when one passes on.  Why can't people have it when it is necessary rather than on a sad occasion when people sit on the edges of their chairs waiting for the other shoe to drop as the will is read.  Well...how did I get on this subject? What has this to do with flour?? So, okay, I have used King's thickening agent already in an apple crumble with granola topping (the granola that I made yesterday,) It works like magic; no lumps, no hassle, just right. If you like to cook, get on their sites and have some fun.  The only thing I didn't actually buy was flour.  Go figure.

NOTE:If you live in Columbus and need a good, a really good, appliance man who fixes all appliances and is reasonable, here is your guy: Andrew Matheny  394-6274  (called The Appliance Guy.)  He has just fixed a dishwasher and a long standing ice machine problem for us today. He is amazing.
