Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
JP STEVE, I SURE DO REMEMBER LAST YEAR! That was sheer torture! I’ve been a good girl this year! I “learnt ma” lesson! Can’t let that Italian temper make my comments for me! :-D
Susan, my original name was “Drystyha”. I believe IT WAS Gweendo as he stated, who may have shortened it to Dry, it may have been me too, I don’t remember anymore. I am another year older you know, and the memory “ain’t what it used to be”.
Clark Kent great recipe, I would make one change though. Instead of “nuking” the onions and peppers, I would stir fry them in olive oil. And the mushrooms and garlic as well, before adding to the blender. I made a copy of your recipe for myself. Thanks.
bev you actually found a photo of Stel and me at my 5th birthday party?? Even back then, she could draw! And how did you get your hands on that, anywho? (That was one of the VERY FEW times we were actually behaving!)

OH Yeah, SELECTIVE MEMORY! I KIND OF FORGOT THAT PART! AND WE SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY IN DETENTION! OUR PARENTS WEREN’T HAPPY, WERE THEY?
Thanks for explaining your name…. maybe next time I make you a cake, I won’t associate it with the desert …only the dessert.
When I was working on it, I remember thinking I shouldn’t go TOO far with that theme… cos I gotta say, a totally dry and dusty cake might not be too appealing… LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DRY AND DUSTY!!I sent your card in an email because I could post it here. Don’t know why.Sorry I am so late. I have had a he!! of a day. But I think I will have a hot toddy and some of the great food and cake that is left.Sweet Dreams, Girl Friend!
Stel, your card and other creations are splendid, as usual.All the cards today are great. Dry, you are loved here and throughout GoComics. You deserve all the best!Susan, your cake is a wonderful creation. Could I have a cactus and a slice of desert, er, dessert? Thanks!
