What a beautiful and fun place Myrtle Beach is Clean air etc. My great guy, and those great kids

I found it!

Here's that cake I've been looking for:)

So I found this recipe on MarthaStewart.com while searching around the Internet for a new and yummy cake to try out. It's Bourbon Banana layer cake. I loved the recipe Because it had Bananas and Buttermilk in the cake, Bourbon, Butter, and Bananas in the center and it is frosted with a whipped Bour Bream Bixture. The only tricky part is making the filling. First you melt the butter and as it begins to brown you add the sliced banana & brown sugar, flip, add bourbon, and ignite with a match, finito! There is always a bit of apprehension that goes along with lighting something on fire in your small kitchen, surrounded by wood cabinets, in a small apartment, in the middle of a state that is in a code red fire risk. I asked Josh to assist with the fire part; I held the pan and Josh lit it on fire.



Woooooo hooooooo! There was a gigantic ball of flames that stretched about 3 feet high and surrounded the telephone book that sits on top of the refrigerator. I'm not being dramatic; it was the biggest flambé I have ever seen. Although we were nervous for a second I figured if I stepped into the middle of the room the fire would dissipate without bringing down all of our belongings with it. The result...a delicious cake that has the wonderful flavor of brown sugar and bourbon that won't leave you tipsy.





I love you Mom and I wish I could be there to eat cake and celebrate with you. I am so glad you had a great time on vacation. You deserve the rest and relaxation. Welcome home. Hugs, kisses, and much love from the Bienko family.

April Showers?

Okay, so i don't have a digital camera, which is my explanation for the posts that come a month after the event. With that said, here are some pics of our April snow storm. I should mention that today is BEAUTIFUL! 85 degrees and sunny, wahoooooo!

More from the trip..

So, mom gets here on Friday night and we have to do the Wegmans run- for what else- cheese, cheese, and more cheese! Cheese, then a trip to the commons, followed by a walk through the woods. Life is good.
