I also make a variety of chocolate cakes that verge on the obscene (hubby likes 'em that way).
How cruel of you to tease us like that and not post even one recipe! ::crosses arms and looks hurt::

The cake is delicious. The recipe is, um, odd.
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce (1.5 cups) 1 cup nuts (I like pecans. Walnuts are good, too) Fresh grated zest of one whole orange Fresh squeezed juice from the same orange (1/3 cup) 1 cup real mayonnaise (not that "lite" stuff, no Miracle whip) 3 cups self-rising flour 1 1/2 cups white sugar
Grease and flour 9" Bundt pan Combine sauce, nuts, mayo, juice and rind. Stir in flour and sugar. The batter will seem to be much too thick for cake. Don't fret.
Put the batter in the pan and bake at 350 for an hour.
Frost with frosting made from 2 Tbl butter, 1/4 cup cranberry sauce, and 2 cups powdered sugar, beaten all together until fluffy.

For the record, I'm not the leader of this mob. Leaders of mobs are either turned on by the mob, or picked off by sniper fire from outside. I'm just relaying some known rules about how to run an unruly mob for those of you who are new at it.
ElJay, you cannot use a snowshovel. If it was a regular shovel, of course you could use it. However, snowshovels are not to my knowledge used for farming because once there's snow on the rows, there ain't much growing to be done.
Teshi, a cake fork certainly will not do. Also please be warned that unruly mobs are not very amiable to mockery of their equipment. Be careful, that effigy we're burning can be switched out in a heartbeat!
Noemon, I congratulate you on embodying the spirit of Christm...errr, unruly pitchfork-wielding mobs. Nice job loaning the garden weasel and lighter fluid to twinky.
Mack, obviously swords won't do. Swords are used by The Man to oppress The People. Swords are often what the bastards in the castle have, not what the mob has. Whose side are you on, anyway? *suspicious look*
Obviously there will be cake, or a cake-like substance. The homes of either Mike or breyerchic04 will surely have something, even if it's just cake-mix. And of course an unruly mob will be able to make a spiffing cake.

Well, in that case...*guts ElJay with a fiery garden weasel while no one is looking*. *whistles innocently*

Interesting. If I were trying to sell the place that wouldn't be how I would have presented it at all.

I knew you weren't actually selling, but when I read it I pictured you in a Ron Popeil infomercial setting.

I haven't turned on the mob, Noemon. *guts Noemon with fiery garden weasel garnished with roasted ElJay*
It's just that ElJay was trying to equip the mob with sub-standard equipment for the rampage, and now you're backing her up. You've placed yourself under suspicion of working for The Man.

Unfortunately, nothing ever happens at sakeriver. Sure, there is a long and tiresome discussion of different potential components for paper-mache art (and yeah, Lila tells you more than you ever needed to know about the history of wasps' nest), but it's kind of boring.
Unless you really want to vote on which tint of khaki really is the best color to paint a sitting room or something.

And there is the "Pomade Forum," where we hash out the best characteristics for various hair gels, dependent on individual hair type, length, and desired level of brilliantine shine. That can be kind of amusing, if you're into that sort of thing.

My favorite part of sakeriver is the paint-drying finals. I mean, that's some rivteting Internet!

The big discussion gets underway when we decide on the best shade of khaki for pants and skirts. Then we have to decide whether beige, wheat, ecru, buff, biscuit or camel tops go best with it.
Then we drink skim milk and serve bland, colorless cookies.

OK, i get the "buff" top, and I could see weaving wheat into clothing, but how exactly do you bake a biscuit top?

Actually, we also spend a good bit of time discussing whether it's 12-15 minutes, or closer to 20 that the biscuit top should be baked. We used to argue about the temperature as well, but 6 months or so ago we finally decided that 350 was best.

Biscuit blankets will shrink if you put them in the dryer. Even if you don't turn the dryer on.

Not just you. Don't worry though, since I'm walking, I may as well swing north through Georgia on the way to California. You can join the swelling mob.

Rakeesh, my flaming garden weasel didn't work out so well. And the fire department didn't think it would be a good idea to try again. Will plain ol' clubs work?

I don't know if you saw the black smoke rising to your west, but that was likely me. In retrospect, I probably should have taken the cars OUT of the garage, and maybe spilled a little less gasoline... and probably shouldn't have been drunk... On the plus side, I won't have to chase the possum out anymore Posts: 880 | Registered: Nov 2005

I'd think spades would be more of a farm implement.
