This delicious spice cake starts with butternut squash, which keeps it moist and adds a light sweetness to the dessert, with the only additional sugar coming from pure maple syrup.
September went out with a bang around here. My brother, Larry, and his wife, Mary, arrived from California in time to celebrate his and Angel Face's birthdays. We went out for dinner at a revolving Sushi Bar that has become Angel Face's favorite restaurant.
I love sushi, but I think all that rolling and making it look gorgeous is a lot of work. So I tend to make sushi bowls at home and enjoy the art when dining out. All the same great flavors without all the work.
We were supposed to leave this morning for a trip to Cabo San Lucas. Mother Nature had other plans. Three large Category 5 storms are in the Pacific, heading towards land, right where we were supposed to vacation.
Our Movies and Munchies selection for this month is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, hosted by Camilla of Culinary Cam. The movie has a sequel, and we can choose which one to watch. Or we could watch both. I had never watched either of them, nor had I read the book they were based on, so I chose the original movie.
We are still enjoying warm weather here in Michigan, and we are heading to Cabo in a few days, so I am dreaming of cocktails poolside. This Banana Daiquiri is the perfect Indian Summer cocktail.
