I ran across this cream cheese apple cake recipe on the Internet. It made quite a gooey, thick batter, with three large precisely chopped apples (thanks John) 8 oz. of butter AND an entire package of cream cheese. Only a cup and a half of flour and a cup of sugar.
The topping is chopped pecans with a touch of brown sugar and 3 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon.
The end result was more of a custard than cake-like texture, probably from all those heavy, moist ingredients. Very good actually. I like solid cakes that aren't overly sweet. Let me know if you want the recipe.
What else is new? The arborists come this morning for some heavy yard pruning with the bucket truck. Unless something else breaks down, always a possibility with a 100-year old house, that's the end of the home projects for now, which gives my checkbook a chance to recover before spring.
We need new fencing and deck, an expensive proposition, and at some point face reality with the seriously leaning alley garage-shed. It's a "non-conforming structure" and can't be simply rebuilt on the existing footprint. We've been dragging our feet for years, because taking it down means an entire redesign of the back yard.
