Some days a bit nutty others not so nutty.

“Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.”

― Joanne Harris, Chocolat

TASTE IT – JAKE BUGG

 

At low tide the gulls swoop down

they don't mind the mud; the crown

is all the treasure that they find

and all they bring to peaceful minds

just sitting on the silent jetty

I dwell; dismiss the light; the petty

thoughts I left behind me when

I travelled back in time and then

that sweet anticipatory swell

a feeling that I know so well

a blossoming; melding of my dreams

mixed and mingled or so it seems

inhaling wondrous memories

exhaling numbness; recovery

is just a few deep breaths away

giving meaning to my days

healing power of nature reigns

here in this place there is no pain

what am I to make of it all

if I slip now how far will I fall

let my senses be my guide

listen to the voice inside

my heart and soul will let me know

all questions answered; one door closed

but then a brightness through a window

the sun breaks through; my thoughts are tender

here is where I should always be

on my little island in the sea.

Celebration Pumpkin Cake Recipe from The Cake Mix Bible

1 Pkg. Spice cake mix (or Carrot Cake mix)

1 can solid pack pumpkin (16 oz)

3 eggs

1/4 cup butter, softened

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine all ingredients in large bowl, beat 2 minutes with electric mixer.

Divide batter evenly in 2 9" round cake pans that have been sprayed with Pam with flour. (or greased and floured).

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool on wire rack.

 

Frost with cream cheese frosting. Decorate as you wish.

The recipe book had caramel sauce drizzled down the sides and pecans on top.

I chose to do the sides in the cookies since it looked a bit fancier for Thanksgiving.

Cream Cheese frosting.

6 oz cream cheese, room temperature

3 tablespoons milk

1 tsp clear vanilla

5-7 cups powdered sugar

mix until smooth...if it's too thick add more milk a tsp. at a time

 

Enjoy!

 

By the way, this is the moistest cake I have ever made! (And I've baked a lot of cakes...I used to be a professional cake decorator)

The most popular attraction at the World of Coca-Cola is undoubtedly the Taste It! sampling stations, where visitors can try Coke products from around the world. I snapped this shot of the flavors available at the ''Asia'' station: Fanta Melon Frosty (Thailand), Vegibeta (Japan), Lemon Crush (Bahrain), Fanta Apple Kiwi (Thailand), Thums Up (India), Smart Watermelon (China), Ice (Korea), and Smart Apple (China). While the Vegibeta may sound weird, it's actually one of my favorite flavors!

Tasteit. That's almost as good as 'Juiciful'. Almost but, not quite.

I snapped this shot of the flavors available at the ''Europe'' station: Fuze Tea (Israel), Fanta Pineapple (Greece), Fuze Tea (Turkey), Kinley Bitter Lemon (England), Fuze Tea (Georgia), Fanta Magic (Estonia), Mezzo Mix (Germany), and Beverly (Italy). Sadly, this pic turned out very fuzzy, as it was difficult to snap a quick photo with so many people trying to reach in and dispense soda samples. I don't recall what flavor the Israeli Fuze Tea was; I think the Turkish one was lemon iced tea and the Georgian one was either strawberry or raspberry tea. The Italian drink is actually a bitter (non-alcoholic) apéritif, and most tasters agreed this was the most unpleasant flavor of the lot.
