Good Morning Mrs. B, how's married life?
OK! Mom leaves on Sunday so the house should be a little more sane soon! We are buying a fridge this week!
There are no dumb questions, silly!
When the cake comes out of the oven, there are some gaps all around the sides of the pan. You pour the glaze into all those little nooks and crannies and when you flip the cake out 30 minutes later, the glaze will have sunk into the top and sides.
This cake is even more yummy the next day, so I tend to make it a day before serving. This is about the only alcohol I've consumed in five years!
That makes sense now! I'm thinking of taking it for Thanksgiving when we head to Holland MI - Bob's sister's place. She has a 4 year old and a 2 month old - I had been joking with her about hosting Thanksgiving again so she wouldn't have to travel with the baby. Well, she's hosting Thanksgiving and I feel like I'm responsible.
So I plan on bringing a cranberry relish, a cake made with rum, and an onion dip that I'll be posting next!
Baked Onion Dip - off the side of a box of Triscuits
1 Tablespoon margarine
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup mayo, light
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt margarine in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook 5 -7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly
Mix mayo, cheeses, parsley, ad pepper sauce in medium bowl. Stir in onions. Spoon into baking dish
Bake 25 minutes or until heated through.
Makes 1 cup dip
...and my question is why in the world would it come out so oily?? I used about half the amount of butter, and the onions were dry by the time I mixed them with everything else. Could it be the mayo? Or the cheese?
Beautiful, but I'm so not ready for it! It's only been sub-90 Fall weather for about 2 weeks! 
I hate snow! The only time I want to see snow is Christmas time. If I didn't have to drive around in it maybe I would like it.
