Hummingbird cake is done and cooling, mac is asleep, I've had some bourbon and ginger and think I'll go to sleep.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

It's got bananas and pineapple in it, usually with a cream cheese frosting, but we won't frost this one. [link] It's a Southern thing.

Color me intrigued.
I had a very Buffista dinner. I made my faux-Caesar dressing (although with a real anchovy) and then had that with roasted veggies. (This roasted veggie thing has been a revelation. Tonight was aparagus and blue potatoes.)
I also blended up my strawberries leftover from last week's market run into a sort-of smoothie that I froze to be a very fruity sorbet.
And now I'm drinking a tasty cocktail made with the last of javachik's lemons.

Lisah, the helmets are a heavier than a lightweight street bike helmet, but I love mine so much. Noah has one similar in style but smaller. I want to get Grace one of the little nutty helmets. They make me happy (on the back it says, "I love my brain!")
I have decided I want this cake for my birthday: Heaven and Hell Cake. Sadly, I'll end up having to make it for myself.

Someone asked about cookbooks back a ways - this one has the Hummingbird cake and also about 5 of my go-to recipes. I was given it as a gift and it has just been a really good one: [link]
Also wanted to give this one a plug for anyone trying to do more cooking with beans and grains: [link]

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I saw a hummingbird cake mix at the supermarket the other day. (We were stocking up on cake mixes, baking cakes has become somthing of a tasty hobby for Wallybee.) So their fame has reached Australia, it seems. I didn't get one, settled for a chocolate, a lemon and an English tea instead.

I need to start poking around for a good lemon cake recipe. I'm trying to decide if I want dense or light.

I'm glad hummingbird cake is not a poultry dish.
