Tomorrow is my beloved husband's birthday. He's the opposite of me when it comes to birthdays. I celebrate mine at least a week and love parties. He considers his just another day and probably would be happy for everyone to forget. SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! The family will get together for a birthday lunch tomorrow at Amber and Brian's. And I've baked a molasses cake (his favorite) for supper dessert. And as a gift to you I'm sharing Eugene's mom's recipes for molasses cake and baked macaroni and cheese--a cold weather comfort food.
Molasses Cake
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups flour
1 cup molasses
1 cup hot water
A little ginger
1 tsp baking soda
Mix ingredients together. Bake 1/2 hour at 350. Top slices with generous portions of whipped cream or Cool Whip.😋
Macaroni and cheese
Chop up a block of your favorite cheese. Cook a box of elbow Macaroni to desired tenderness. Add cheese and 3/4 cup margarine or butter. Mix together. Add milk til it reaches the top of the ingredients. Bake an hour at 375. Top should be golden brown.
I'm taking the ornaments off the tree. Such a sorrowful task.
Hope you have a good weekend.
