So Miss Patti and I were sitting around the kitchen chatting and she said: “Girlfriend, I’m going to make you one of my world famous pound cakes.”

And I said: “No need, Miss Patti. The next time I can’t sleep and get up at the break of 0’Dark Hundred, I’ll stop at Walmart and pick one up.”

 And here it is.  Enjoy.

(Legal Disclaimer: This conversation is pure fiction. Except the part about getting up in the middle of the night, and driving in to work at 4:30 AM and stopping at Walmart on the way. That part is true.)

(Medical Disclaimer: This cake is so sweet it made my teeth hurt.  Apparently Miss Patti and her insulin-producing pancreas are no longer on speaking terms.)

 
She has a new dessert book out. My friend Rick helped with the recipes. My

Guess is, he dialed the sugar back on the fresh recipe.

The Walmart version is frozen, yes? I'm wondering if it's super sweet bc the sugar acts as a preservative. Hmm....

 
Not frozen. They are in the baked goods section. Won't get it again, BUT I DO like

...her berry cobbler. It's in a rectangular pan with crust on bottom and top. Filling is very good to my taste. The cashier wasn't paying attention and stacked two of them vertically and when I got home, I had two smashed compressed cobblers. I managed to scrap out the filling, filled a rectangular tart pan with two stacked Pillsbury ready doughs (their suggestion to roll out a larger area and it worked perfectly) to make a slab pie, added a can of sweet Oregon cherries to her raspberry filling and topped with a strusel.

Wow...it was seriously one of the best pies I've ever made.

After I cut our pieces, Larry reached up into the cupboard and dropped a glass on the counter. It shattered and went all over the tart.

SO BUMMED. I can only find comfort in the number of calories I DID NOT CONSUME.

 
How irritating when an accident like that happens! It was still a very nice save, Marilyn.
