Speaking of which..has anyone tried out any of the recipes we have in the Recipe Gallery? Anyone? 

Didn't we have Edna's cherry cake recipe or am I dreaming? I may be in the market for a cherry cake in a little while and I went looking for it one day, but maybe I didn't go back far enough. Will I find it if I persist?

The shot here of Heath in the striped shirt, with both thumbs resting near his lip, is quite possibly my single favorite Ledger picture yet outside the context of BBM.

Edna never made a cherry cake, but Mrs. John C. Twist, Sr. did. Here is her classic cherry cake recipe, easy and delicious. Ennis won't eat it, too many sad memories but if Ellery ever got a bite, he'd love it. "Homemade baked goods just slide down my throat...."

ELIZABETH TWIST'S CHERRY CAKE

Sift together:
 1 cup sugar
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1 cup flour
 1 teaspoon baking soda

Beat one egg with fork.  Add to dry ingredients & blend.   Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Drain 1 can red tart cherries (water packed) (approx. 2 cups) and add to the egg & flour mixture.  Add 1/2 cup nuts if desired.  Pour into greased square pan.  Bake at 350 for 45 min.
Note: Double above for 13 x 9 inch pan.

Serve with coffee.

Thanks, Leslie. That looks just like the kind of simple recipe that Mrs. Twist (and I) would use, but are you sure there's only one cup of flour?

I have to admit, I have never tested this recipe but as written, it is for an 8" x 8" square pan. For that, one cup of flour would seem to be correct, yes.

If you try it, give us a report back, willya?

OK - I'll get some cherries the next time I go to the store and let you know what happens.

Long live the long hair...

All right, got my mind off Jake for a while.

[notBastet]

Not that there's any reason you should need to get your mind off Jake... lol.

Hmnn... I bet Ennis dreams about Jack and Ellery... makes me kinda sad Ellery doesn't have a Jack to dream about.  Is that weird? 

[DeeDee]

Weird?  You're talking to straight woman playing a gay cowboy in denial in a "twisted" play who thinks Hugh Jackman and Heath Ledger are a couple.

Weird?  I think not, Kelly
