Dishes Men Like (Food!)

[Josephine]

I made Banana Sour Cream Pound Cake. I beat the living daylights out of the butter/egg/sugar mixture, so it was very fluffy, enough that I put a one loaf recipe in two. That's why they're so flat (sank a bit after they got out of the oven) instead of tall like regular pound cakes. But they're very light, unlike regular pound cakes.

YOU ARE A DOLL!!!

I am hungry and not allowed to eat right now. But I can feast on this!! Looks just lovely, Josephine!

Oh, my! Your dishes look delicious! I'm very hungry now, and I can't eat a proper meal until 9PM!

But after 9PM, watch out, kitchen!

1940's food

I was watching some old B&W 1940's movie and remember the man was enjoying his breakfast, I think he was having,

scrambled eggs, kippers, coffee, toast

I blush! ::blush:: Thanks all. I like to bake, so I will have to dig out my great grandmother's recipes. I came across one for 1-2-3 Cake. Looked interesting.

Don't torment the man too much...

Make some non-carb things on occaision too!

 

[Josephine]

Non carb? I'll have to get back to you on that...

I'm trying out a new Pineapple Upside Down Cake, and it said to bake for 25-30 min. Hmm I thought, that's rather quick. Check it at 25 min and it hasn't risen much, and is still very pale. A cake tester comes out clean. I'm still suspicious, as the cake jiggles some when I move it. So I stick a knife in and it comes out covered in batter. I checked my usual recipe which says 40-50 min, and added time. Checked it before I hopped on, and it's risen! Yay!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake (with Sour Cream)

I have a special Pineapple Upside Down Cake pan that was my mom's. My Dad really liked Pineapple Upside Down Cake and thankfully so does my husband.

The pan

The batter

The cake! Unfortunately I flipped the cake onto the cake stand instead of the cake stand onto the cake, then flipping them both over. So the pineapples and cherries slid off a bit. Heh.

As my Aunt used to say "imperfections are how you know it's homemade". It looks beautiful--nice cake stand too.

Thanks! I semi collect cake stands. Semi as I'm usually too cheap to get any when I find them.

What a great thread!
PSG, your beef dish looks like something I would make.
The pineapple upside down cake looks heavenly!

Like PSG, I cooked with my Granny all my life. The dishes I make that are like hers are the ones I am most proud of.
Just last night I made her beef stew with dumplings, which to me is the ultimate comfort food. Sorry no pics!

I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner and making turkey and stuffing just like hers.
Here are some pictures from last year. The table cloth was hers too.

Roast Turkey, yum! That looks soooooooooo good. The best thing about being in charge of TGiving dinner is being able to pick at the Turkey when I carve it away from the table. We alternate with my Aunt's family and my Uncle and I will nosh while the rest of the gang is waiting at the table.

Not very glam...

and its the -quick- method....ie all canned components...but hey..its a weeknight.

Chicken and dumplings.Which is just not a photogenic dish....sad to say.

 

[PrettySquareGal]

Cherry Red, that all looks delicious! Sorry I missed your post earlier for some reason. It's unlike me to overlook good food.

Miss N, that looks very tasty, actually!

 

[imoldfashioned]

Now I have a craving for chicken and dumplings! I made a pot of pulled pork for this week--the last taste of Summer.
