Cake Mix

Arial has taught me an important lesson. Just about the worst thing you can do to cake mix is turn it into a cake.

If you've ever made a cake before, you know that the batter is delicious. It is very sweet and tasty. But somehow the baking process dilutes the flavor until it's cake, heats the taste right out of it.

Arial has found a way to keep the goodness in. Okay, I think she found it on the side of the box but still she had to try it.

She makes these great cake cookies. They are like condensed cake (but better). It's like eating little disks of batter (but without the spector of eating raw eggs). Good stuff.

She also does a crisp/cobbler (I don't know the difference between the two) with peaches. Apparently, it's pretty easy to make but it turns into this amazingly good dessert. It's like a food drug. Since there are only two adults in the house, it usually sits on the counter where periodically we can have a little bite of ecstasy.

That's all. I just wanted to warn everyone to stop wasting cake mix on cakes.
