Ode to a Lemon Pound Cake
I've never given much thought to exactly how many tools are involved in making my Grandmother's lemon pound cake recipe. It's not too complex but this morning as I was trying to make this cake I realized....it's not the kinda cake you make when you are moving. You have to beat egg whites, whip sugar and shortening or butter...fold in egg whites....I have my mixer but absolutely no tools. Had my hand mixer but no beaters.....couldn't whip my egg whites couldn't measure my flour, sugar, salt, etc. Arggg....moving is so frustrating! And we have to live like this for another week! I did get that cake made though, and it's going to be tasty!!! ;-)

Mmmmm....sounds good! I'm amazed that you were ambitious enough to make it. I've been craving a pumpkin roll for weeks but I'm too lazy to make one and make a huge mess that I'll just have to clean up.
ReplyDeleteWe lived on frozen dinners and soup for 2 weeks I think when we were moving. I was glad when those weeks were over. On the positive side, I enjoyed cooking more when it ended. I am sorry. I know moving is the pits. We are looking forward to spending time with your family though.
