Mother Mookie's Apple Delight and Other Creations of Note.

Today after lunch, Mooks brought me some apple cake that her mom made during a visit this weekend. As a self-proclaimed dessert connoisseur, I can honestly say that I haven't been this pleasantly surprised by a sweet treat since I discovered Nutella in the late 90's. This cake was moist, buttery, sugary heaven, with a crunchy, caramel crust to boot. I was really digging the textures. Mooks tells me that Mother Mooks got the recipe from Paula Deen, but I can't help but think that some of MM's own special something was added as well.

Anyways, what I'm sayin' here is that if you ever happen to run into MM, take the opportunity to either a) congratulate her on a cake well done or b) thank her for producing that fine specimen of a human being we like to call..... The Mookster.

Tine, my mom is going to glow with pride when she reads this (after I show her how to open the web browser for the 14,000th time). Also, you just made a big mistake because next time she comes I'm sure she will make it a goal to fill you with things to eat until you barf. But in a good way.
 
The Bebe can handle anything.
 
Post the recipe people! Also, Tine, let's hear a post about your infamous pea salad. The trials, the successes, how you made it so much you eventually couldn't look at it anymore.
 
coming up wolsie.
 
Ah yes, Crazy Jew Pea Salad. A worthy and delicious subject. UPW, I will post the recipe tonight, I don't have it on me.
 
Ah...I always wondered the title of that dish, and now i know. Crazy Jew Pea Salad. Let's send it to Rachael Ray.
 
That name was given to the salad by my old assistant, Y'all. You met Y'all before didn't you, UP?
 
OH yeah, me and y'all go way back.
 
Tine- do us all a favor and leave out the onioncilantro.
