Irving: I am not having a mid-life crisis, Cathy. Not a mid-year crisis. Not a mid-month crisis. Not a mid-week crisis. I refuse to be called some aging cliche just because I'm doing a little healthy introspection!! Cathy: Mid-linguini crisis. Saleswoman: Sir? Irving: Bring me an antacid and a Porsche sun!!
Porshe SUV??? Yeah, right! Like you could really afford a Porshe SUV, Irving! Get real!!!!! You know . . . you’re REALLY starting to make my eyes hurt with all the eye rolling you’ve been making me do lately . . . so STOP it already!!!!!!!!!!
HI, AARON & DR. BILLY!!!!!Hope you both had a wonderful 4th of July yesterday! How was your mom’s delicious-looking dessert? Mine didn’t turn out anywhere near as pretty as the picture, I’m afraid! Against my better judgment, I didn’t flour my Bundt pan after oil-spraying it because the instructions didn’t say to so the darn thing stuck a little bit coming out, which tore some of the top off it . . . the blueberries weren’t as sweet as they really needed to be (is there anything much worse than biting into sour blueberries?!?) . . . and I keep forgetting that coffee cakes aren’t as moist as I like my cakes to be (so, given that, I should have made a glaze for the top rather than dusting it with powdered sugar instead). I guess that’s the hazard of trying a new recipe you’ve never made before. This one wasn’t successful for me but I’ve made several cakes in the past that were and since I love to bake so much, I’m never going to stop trying new things! Meanwhile, I’m giving this recipe 2 thumbs down, guys! But if you decide to go ahead and try it anyway, you may have better luck than I did — especially if you make those corrections I mentioned. One more thing: I found my cake was done when I did a toothpick test at 50 minutes. If I had checked it at the minimum 55 they listed, it would have burned so I’d recommend you check yours at around 50 minutes too . . . just in case. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
