The Day After

I hope everyone had a great 4th. As you know, Betty and I went to our friend Carole's hose to celebrate. She was expecting about 20 people but some failed to come which only meant they missed out on a very nice gathering. It also meant there were more leftovers from some great food. I do have to say, I had quite a bit of corn left over as I cooked 15 ears, which I broke in half, but Betty and I will eat what is left, as we love corn.

To clarify some information for my Cousin Pat, I paid $3 for 15 ears at Publics. When I went to the farmers market, the corn was priced a 3 ears for $1.25, and it wasn't that good looking. It had been picked over pretty well, but it also looked a little dried out. The corn at Publics was looked fresh for a super market, and I could get "Bread and Butter" corn (my favorite). I could have gone to that new French store that recently opened near us,Target, as it was 10 cents an ear there, but I didn't want to drive that far. I think I always compare corn prices to when I sold it for 50 cents per baker's dozen. I know that was a couple of years ago, but I can still hope can't I?

I have to say, and I'm not bragging (yes I am), the Peach-Pecan Upside Down Cake was a hit. And when you combined it with the Heavenly Banana Split Ice cream, ... Need I say more. Everyone that had some of the cake complimented me on it, which alway make a humble individual like myself feel good. Those of you that know how I like to try new recipes, i.e., LaDonna and Frances, and of course, Betty, know I have mixed results. But I have to say this cake is right up there with the Key Lime Mousse Cake. I'm not a real big fan of spice cake, except Carrot Cake, because they have a tendency to be dry. This cake is really moist and has wonderful flavor. As I said before, a keeper!

Just wanted to share a before and after shot of the Peach-Pecan Upside Down Cake so you could get an idea of how mosit it is:

Have a great day after the 4th.
