Simple Pleasures
I don't know if this is meant to be a site for the gourmand, but I thought that I'd throw one in for those of us who like to keep it simple.
But since I called the post simple pleasures, I'm going to put up a totally simple, but absolutely sinful dessert recipe.
EASY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
GOOEY FILLING
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened
2 eggs
1 lb. box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together cake mix (just the mix, not the other ingredients called for on the box) with butter and 1 egg. Pat into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Cream together cream cheese, 2 eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla. Pour over cake mixture. Spreading to the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Center will still be soft when you remove from oven. Sets as it cools. (but still remains 'gooey')
Soooooooooooo good.

I have got to try this recipe!
This is one of those silly recipes that don't seem like much, but it's one that everyone asks for.
The hardest part is peeling and coring the fruit!
No kidding. The last time I made apple pie I didn't even try to core the apple, I just peeled it and cut around the core. Much easier.
I've thought about getting one of those hand crank peeler-corers, but I don't make pie often enough to justify it.
TOLurker,
That sounds like another post. Would you like to be added to here as a "contributor"?
Hey all,
Peter P's Chicken ala King finally convinced me to check out this blog. Looks like it's the same gang from patrick.net, eh? I'll try to post some here once in a while too!
Welcome, skibum.
I will post a Chicken a la King recipe later. :)
Good to see you over here skibum.
Yeah, it's just us..........

No vegans yet.
skibum,
I thought about inviting Casey Serin to blog here and have him whore this blog on USAToday (the most meaninglessly midbrow paper EVER) but thought better of it :)
The invitation is still open to Mrs. Casey - PB&J sandwiches...making a pack of ramen last two meals...there's much to learn from her.
Peter P,
I think vegans (with their no animal protein diet) would be scared of us. From my antecdotal experience, I'd say this is a good thing for this blog. I've known very few vegans and they were all very annoyingly holier than thou people who are always breaking their diet plan for pizza or pasta.
Perhaps if we one day get trolls, we can call them "vegans" or "RFL"(raw foodist lunatic).
We had some friends who were vegetarians. The wife wasn't to bad, but the husband was always talking about the "evils" of eating "flesh." Of course he was the one who would then cheat and eat poultry or fish as if those somehow didn't count.
We called him a hypocritarian.
What's worst, being vegetarian, vegan, raw food eater, or macrobiotic dieter?
Maybe some combination of the above? Are any of these options mutually exclusive?
I am a raw food eater. I eat raw seafood, raw beef, and raw eggs.
I do not usually eat raw veggies though. And I hate lettuce.
I have heard that eating raw food (mainly stuff that won't make you sick with salmonella and stuff like that) is supposed to be very healthy. Not fun, but healthy.
But I like roasted veggies (especially red peppers) and a nice rare steak.

Here is a link to a site I think you'll like. At least you'll like the first post.

I think it's hilarious.
Oops, she has a new post. Actually, both are relevant since the first is about okra. The second is about meat and a nice new PETA acronym.
Eating *some* raw foods, like salads and fruit, is a great thing. But sustaining a healthy lifestyle based on nuts and wheatgrass is hard to fathom...unless you're a squirrel.
Speaking of, I now have a great picture of a squirrel. I must use it when I do my post on raw foodists.
Peter P,
Do you grow wheatgrass or catnip for your cats?
Do you grow wheatgrass or catnip for your cats?
No. But we probably should.
BTW, People Eating Tasty Animals, banzai!
I love okra. Thanks SQT!
SQT,
I think carnivores would ahbor any connection to the original PETA brand.
Muffin has very cute kitties. She should do Friday cat blogging.
Anyone here for Friday cat/pie/carnivore blogging?
Anyone here for Friday cat/pie/carnivore blogging?
Sure. Cats are carnivores. But I am not sure if they like pies.
Not all the elements have to be in Friday cat/pie/carnivore blogging. You can have pure cat blogging or tiger with chicken pot pie blogging or cat in a pie blogging or cat & bear & cherry pie blogging... to name a couple of possibilities.
