....get your hands on the movie "p.s. I Love You"
It was the sole reason (besides the three cups of coffee I had after supper and an amazing pound cake with warm lemon sauce and ice cream dessert, but, more about that later....) I was up until nearly 2 a.m. Ahem. Yes, I said 2 a.m. I've been mean and cranky all day.
If you need a good cry, watch this movie. Oh, and it's different from the book, so try not to compare the endings. Although, since I'm unable or unwilling (debatable) to take my own advice, I preferred the books' ending. I knew you wanted to know. (wink, wink!)
About that pound cake. A good friend of mine recently asked me if I knew why "they" called pound cake, "Pound Cake". And I told her that I thought it was because in the olden days, there was a pound of everything in it. Butter, Eggs, and Flour, and...Sugar? Anyway. I got nosy about it and decided to investigate, and this is what I found.
My cake, compliments of C&H Sugar, didn't look anything like theirs, but here is what it did look like:
My photography, as usual, isn't as stunning as hers, or hers, but I managed to snap a photo before it was all gone and miraculously got it from my camera to the computer, so I'm pleased. Besides, I hear "out of focus" is the new pink. Or was that brown. Can't remember. Must be the lemon fumes.
The lemon sauce is what really slams the door on this cake. It is nearly drinkable by itself. I tried it. Don't think I didn't. Of course, as you might have noticed the blackberries are missing but when our blackcaps come around next summer you can bet I'll be putting some of them up for occasions such as these.. The mint IS from a pot in my kitchen, it's gotten a little leggy - but it'll come around in the spring and really added another dimension to the taste of the cake and sauce.
Yum-my.
Oh-Kay. I have to go now. Not because it's past my bed-time but because I've posted a ridiculous amount of posts today on the blog frontier and now I have to go, er...uh - wash my hair.
