Greetings from picnicland, where the Shipps, the Backuses,
and the Hafflys are here with Nancy's friend Edith and
niece Bonnie as well as Nancy and I sitting around gorging
on delicacies including an unhealthy number of carbs.
Burt and Shirley are due soon.

Last night was Abyssinia in Rochester, today is the picnic
all day cooking, tomorrow a joint venture with Nancy's
church. I gained several pounds in Wisconsin and am on
track to gain several more here. A good time will be had
by all, and those who couldn't make it, we feel sorry for
you. Next year for sure, perhaps in North Carolina?

Carrot cake
categories: picnic, main, mine
servings: 12 to 16

h - cake

12 oz carrots
1 garlic clove
3 lb ground beef

6 garlic cloves, not peeled
water
1 c sour cream

Shred onions and carrots. Mince garlic. Combine
all cake ingredients and press into two oiled
9" cake pans. Bake at 350F for 40 min or until
quite solid. Let cool.

Meanwhile, boil potatoes and garlic until potatoes
are tender. Let cool. Drain potatoes and garlic.
Remove and discard skins while still warm. Mash
until smooth with sour cream, adding a bit of the
garlicky cooking water to adjust consistency.
Taste and correct seasoning with lemon juice and
plenty of salt.

Unmold cake layers by inverting onto plates.

Set one cake layer on an ovenproof serving plate.
Cover with a layer of frosting, then set second cake
layer over. Frost top and sides with frosting. If
any frosting remains, you may pipe fancy decorations
or a border as you choose. Arrange birthday candles
on top.

Either you forgot Lydia, or you called her by my name... ;)

And Edith declared at the end of the picnic that she wanted to do it next year... perhaps she only meant attending it... ;) Also, Lydia said
she'd do this again.... :)

Lydia says she's going to bring this to a church dinner sometime... she
expects it to be a rousing hit... :) She'll have to make sure that it
gets served as an entree rather than wait for dessert... that could be
an interesting surprise... (G)
