oh lordy is it hot - I guess that's nothing new. I'm glad I am not one of those southern belles who doesn't want to freckle. Right now it is soooo nice out by my pool - the water is cool and the sun is warm....

Now dammit - where are all those promises of cold drinks and a fan - lol....

I think I count - born & live in FL (but a USMC brat...so I should get bonus points, plus I know how to cook, and make Red Velvet Cake the southern way, not the California way )

 

[Chaingun]

,,, the California way )

Blech!

 

[Sensualdreamer]

Blech!

exactly...who ever heard of a Red Velvet cake w/ cream cheese frosting - it certainly isn't an authentic Southern Red Velvet cake unless it's got the butter roux frosting

ME too!!!! I must say It's awesome down here... At night, I like to sit on my front porch and drink a nice cold glass of sweet tea or lemonade and socialize with my neighbors.

I make my Red Velvet Cake with a frosting made from a mixture of milk/flour...mixed with sugar, butter, and vanilla. Is that close to what you use?

Hey there Ravis. Born in Georgia and raised in Texas. Does that make me doublely Southern?

Oh and cream cheese frosting is the way to do Red Velvet.

Morning Y'all

Hope everyone is having a good week. We are keeping an eye on Emily and hoping she just winks as she goes way by us but at the same time we get prepared cause sometimes a tropical storm is worse than a hurricane. Oh well, there goes any plans for the weekend that included outside.

And I use to do the baking from scratch thing years ago - but as I got older and wiser - it's however Publix makes it and they do a delicious key lime pie.

Let's hope it stays further out than they say... having to stay inside is not all bad... lots to do that you may not want people to see while outside

Absolutely!!! That's the authentic frosting...we just call it butter roux, b/c you create a roux w/ the milk/flour first

Those are fighting words, but I'll forgive you.

Per the first published recipe for Red Velvet Cake that my granna has, cream cheese is not the traditional frosting therefore I would have to politely decline any Red Cake frosted w/ cream cheese (blech )

Nice

Yeah, I know that area pretty well. I'm a little closer in town, but good to talk to a Nashville native on here.
