Pineapple Pecan Cake with Thick Cream Cheese Frosting

Mix together 2 cups flour,

2 cups sugar,

and 2 teaspoons baking soda in a bowl.

Now add 2 eggs,

a 20 oz can crushed pineapple with its juice,

and 1 cup chopped pecans, (I toasted mine.)

(I also added a cup of coconut, just because)

Mix these ingredients just until moistened.

Pour into a 9 x 13 GREASED

(I used Bakers Joy)baking pan.

Bake at 350 for bout 30-35 minutes or

until toothpick says its okay to come out.

LET CAKE COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE FROSTING

Frosting
To make this absolutely delicious cream cheese frosting, you'll need to mix all these ingredients together till smooth, 1 8oz cream cheese softened, 1 stick butter softened, (I used a half a stick of butter) 2 to 3 cups confectioners sugar, sifted if you want, and 1 tablespoon, yes, tablespoon of vanilla.

Recipe comes from My Tasty Treasures

With the addition of coconut It's the moistest cake ever. I've not tried the original recipe before I started adding my coconut. Don't think I ever will. It's the easiest recipe too.

BTW, I know it's Wednesday!

Price of Eggs

The first week of September for our family was like this:
3 cases of Sinusitis

1 case of Bronchitis

1 confirmed case of H1N1 flu

1 case of Mental Pause

and MRSA!

I think that maybe you are not aware of how fast MRSA can affect you, please check out my son Travis blog by clicking here.

Oh, and by the way, you might want to turn your speakers down. He's got some wild music on his blog.

And another thing, that pictures has nothing to do with anything, it just makes me laugh.

Going Somewhere?

We went to the beach last weekend for Labor Day.

I picked up my suitcase from the back of the play room.

It felt heavier than usual for an empty suitcase.

I opened it up and to my surprise this is what I found.

Someone had packed it for me.

Inside I found, Ernie, two blankies,

a sock monkey, a black stuffed dog,

a baby crib sheet, two pairs of size 2 panties,

1 wash cloth, 3 socks (none of which matched)

and a coon skin hat.

Funny thing is that I never missed any of

these things and I sure wouldn't need

them at the beach.

But it was the thought that counts right?

Emergency?

A few weeks ago we were out for an evening drive.

We needed a diet coke and the closest drive through was the Sonic.

This is what we saw as we rounded the building.

The sweetheart never really has any patience

for this sort of thing. He's like, what are these idiots doing?

Well, they had broken down in the drive through lane.

They had the hood up and were working

on trying to get it started.

All of a sudden they all jumped in the ambulance and took off.

They never did get anything to eat.

I wonder did they get an emergency call.

Good thing it cranked.
