Bundt pan 1.5, Me 0.5

[lillian13]

I used Baker's Secret on the pan, and the recipe I used baked up fine. I forgot that you really need to depan within 10 minutes, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with the slight sticking problem I had. I got about 80% of the cake out in 1 piece, and the rest in 3-4 pieces. It looks OK, and I should be able to disguise cracks with berries and sugar. The only time the damn thing came out perfectly was the first time I used the pan--I know now that it was taunting me.

I bought a Very Large Turkey (aka the Rock) tonight, along with stuff for my share of the sides. L and J and J's mother and I are doing Thanksgiving, and we decided to have a turkey big enough for leftovers for 4 people. Luckily my brother has a chest freezer and said I can store the Rock (and the green beans) until it's time to thaw.

...and it looks like my sister (and her husband) will be able to go with my brother and his family to Alabama for the Big Family Get-Together. I can't--it's too hard for me to get Wednesday off. I hope this helps her get her head together. She got her second DWI a few weeks ago, and I really hope it's finally scared her completely straight. She's going to counseling and seems to be serious about quitting drinking. I really really hope it sticks this time. They need to leave that craphole of a town they're in and get a fresh start somewhere else. *sigh*

Oh Nos! The Bundt Pan of DOOOOM!

Seriously, berries and sugar make everything okay. Hugs about the sib; and I'm glad you're staying in town rather than make the long trek.

Hey, Silverado is on AMC RIGHT NOW!
