Happy Birthday Elias
Today is Elias's birthday!
This is the photo I'd use to make him a card.
This is the cake I would (and actually did) bake for him.
Aunt Jeanetta's Apple Cake
1 1/2 cup corn oil*
3 cups flour
4 eggs
2 cups peeled, chopped, golden apples
1 cups chopped pecans
2 cups sugar
1 cup (raisins)
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
In a small bowl, sift flour, salt, soda, spices. Set aside.
Mix oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients to wet (a bit at a time). The mix will be stiff. Add fruit, nuts, etc.
Bake in greased in bundt pan in pre-heated oven at 325 for 1 hour plus 15 - 25 minutes if necessary.
* I like to bake with butter, but feel free to do your own thing, even fat cutting substitutes if you so desire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ELIAS!
Feliz Cumpleaños, Elias! Te lo mereces todo! -xu
Mmmm...sounds good. I was never really a cake kinda gal. I love baking cakes but not really eating them because they're usually too sweet. But your cake with the pecans and apples and raisins sound just right. Oh yeah, I made the pickles you recommended. So how long until I can eat the pickles? They're sitting in my fridge and I can't help salivating whenever I get anything out of the fridge.

You can cut the sugar down too, especially if you use pureed fruit instead of some of the oil.
I can't believe I didn't give a time on the pickles. It's like 1 hour or more! Eat them already!
Happy Happy Happiest of days to Elias!! I made a peach, blueberry crisp yesterday that will be eaten in your honor -
thank you everybody! i am indeed a very lucky man.
It's not midnight yet... Happy birthday Elias!!! I forgot you were a Gemini...
P.S. Kathy you look so pretty with your dogs...

That's a beautiful picture. Good talking to both of you yesterday. Bonne fête à mon fils, Elias, et beaucoup d'amour à vous tous.
happy b-day elias! great picture, too
Feliz cumpleanos
dude
check out my buffy review
Happy Birthday Elias! Claudia jsut celebrated her 9th on the 5th - a fellow Gemini Genius.
The girls had a double party on Friday - it was oscar nite in June - K the skits would have horrified you as all the 6th grade skits involved famous bad girls beating on each other - well at least they were portrayed accurately and not emulated. The winner of the best actress award portrayed a drunk girl - nice.
TTFN.
happy birthday elias!!! please mail me some cake.
by the way, I love the background of the b-day shot.
hungry in atlanta said - hope you have a great time in mexico..ps..kathy..i want cake!!
