A 'new' tea-cup for Fall

It was cool enough this morning to fire up the old wood stove.

Now that's a sure sign that Summer is coming to an end. This is our 18 year old Lily.
I'm seeing more and more leaves changing.

and a few less cats sitting on their porch in the mornings.

or in the trees

I have a new tea-cup that I'd say I have Fallen for.

It's not vintage like me, it's brand new.

It's such a cheery little cup & saucer.

I found it at a health food store when I went to buy organic brown eggs.

It was just sitting on a shelf and needed a home.

It fits in just fine with my tea-cup from South Korea.

Banana Cake

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups of white sugar

2 organic eggs

3 mashed very ripe bananas

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup milk

Mix all the above together

1 tsp. cream of tartar

1/4 tsp. salt

1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour

Mix all the above together 

Now mix the dry with the moist in a bowl

Add 1 tsp of baking soda to 1/2 cup of hot water. Dissolve soda.

Add to the above mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

This goes perfect with Vanilla Icing or a Golden Butter Icing.

Golden Butter Icing

1/2 cup butter

2 cups confectionery sugar

1/2 cup of light cream

2 tsp. vanilla

Melt butter in a saucepan until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Blend in cream and flavoring. Place pan in ice water and bet until you can spread. More cream can be added in needed.

This is so good.

I love this cake with a hot cup of tea and some company.

My company today is waiting for a moth to fly by. That's her treat.

hugs, Deb
