now heres a good chuckle for you…

decided to make a pineapple “upside down” cake for donnie this morning…one of his fav’s

mixed up the batter…greased the pan…brown sugar to the bottom…pour in the batter…place fruit very nicely on top…you know…cherries…pineapple…(I used pineapple chunks because didnt have any slaices)…placed in oven on 350…peak in…crap…did I say I put the fruit on T

So, did you eat the rest of the capers in the jar when you finished the creation?? I know how you love those things! Me too. How’d lunch turn out today??? Kept waiting for that phone call from you that you had my leftovers for me to pick up since I was stuck in the office all day… Ribeyes, lobster tails, bakers and portabellos on the grill now - MMMMMMMMMMM!
