CEE’S ODDBALL PHOTO CHALLENGE WEEK 25
This was a good week for oddball photographs. Lots of pictures that have no reason to exist except I just saw something and tried to capture it.
My pound cakes came out well. Baking them was something of an accomplishment since I can’t remember the last time I made one. But Garry wanted pound cake. He said he would just go buy one. I said if he’d never had homemade pound cake, he’d never had pound cake at all. Now, I think he would agree.
Collecting ingredients for the pound cakes triggered a trip to the farm around the corner to get fresh eggs. You need nine eggs for this recipe (some call for as many as a dozen) and I thought I’d like to use the best possible ingredients.
And while we were there, I bought some milk. Their milk is nothing like grocery store milk. It’s as thick with cream as half and half and you have to shake it to keep from skimming it.
Maybe it’s so good because these have to be the happiest cows in the world. They ooze contentment.

The pound cakes look so yummy I wish for a slice. I love cows (my kids make fun of me for that) and yours are good looking. Barns, especially red, are among my favorite American buildings. So this is a good post for me. Thank you, Marilyn.

Great pix… There’s nothing like THE REAL STUFF! 🙂

Accept no substitute. I used to bake a lot, but then I ate a lot. Now, I bake rarely and eat less. There’s a definitely correlation 🙂

Same here… Still, there’s nothing like the real thing every now and again! 🙂

It was fun, baking again. And I’ve enjoyed consuming the product of my labor … but pound cake is a major league hip expander and mine are entirely broad enough 🙂

Mine, too! I let hubby and company enjoy most of the fruits of my baking and do very little of it these days. I’ve lost 30 pounds over the last two years and don’t plan to ‘find’ any of it back on me. ! 🙂

It did come out tasty. I’m defrosting the second one now. I don’t know why I thought the cake would last longer, but it disappeared in a flash. Glad I took a picture so I have proof they existed!

Nice photographs. Cake looks yummy. Cows really look as if chatting.

The cake IS yummy and I’m sure the cows were gossiping about those OTHER cows 🙂

I made myself hungry and just had the last piece of the first cake. Defrosting the second! It’s a nice old barn. Smells like hay and cows.

Content Cows, and where’s the photo of a content Garry after eating that fabulous poundcake? 🙂

He looked a little bilious after the second piece. I warned him it was richer than the usual cake, but he liked it — and he’s very stubborn. He’s been more cautious since.

Oh, to have a little farm like that just around the bend! I get the farm-fresh eggs from Mom, but the fresh milk…I’m salivating now. And pound cake…one of my favorites. Garry will probably never buy store-made pound cake again (and shouldn’t!). 😀

It’s nice. We have three or four farms in a tight radius. One of the last agrarian areas in relatively easy driving distance of Boston. Okay, a long driving distance — about 65 miles, give or take a few — but doable. It was even better when we were working and came home from the city to farmland.

Rose, you are right. Never again with store made pound cake. Never again.
