Extra Goodies from Thanksgiving Week

Last week, my cooking was not limited to the Thanksgiving meal or the other nightly dinners. I also delved into more sweet things, like this blackberry buttermilk cake:


I fear the stated cooking time was excessive, because it managed to dry it out. But the flavor was still good. I wanted this to be on hand since people were in and out and it would be good to have breakfast-y bread/cake or a simple afternoon snack or a dessert on hand if something else didn't get put together.


One deliberate dessert that did get made, and which was served with the Thanksgiving Eve meal of New Year's Day meatballs, was old fashioned banana pudding. I haven't made this in forever, in part because several of the Roediger House regulars claim to turn their noses up at this fine little concoction.


But the reviews were reasonable rave, and I'm glad to have the lingering taste of this treat to fondly recall now that I'm back on the road and working after my extended vacation.
