Just checking to make sure the rest of you are still out there. The doomsayers would have had us believe we wouldn't be here today.......glad to see YOU made it. As for those poor souls who didn't, may they rest in peace.

I've been resting my back which I pulled out of place while giving stinky Joe Beegle a bath. He wouldn't hold still because he hates a bath, now he doesn't get a walkies and he doesn't understand why. Doh!

Watch your favorite fast-food restaurant for Sara Lee's pound cake fries. They are testing it now, and it is sure to become a hit for the fast-food lovers. Ever wonder why they call it POUND cake? In case you can't wait, here's a recipe for you:


Pound Cake Fries

1 frozen pound cake, thawed (Sara Lee or other brand)
Hot fudge sauce**

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Quarter pound cake lengthwise into four slabs. Halve each slab lengthwise for 8 strips total. Trim ends of strips on the diagonal, then halve crosswise. Quarter each strip into "fries" for a grand total of 64. Spread in single layer on baking sheet and bake 6 minutes until edges of fries are golden. Serve with chocolate ketchup -- the hot fudge sauce -- heated until smooth for dipping.

**or use your favorite fruit flavor sauce, i.e. raspberries.
