"Hike up your skirt a little more"




I love listening to music while I cook.  I usually listen to one of those cable music stations; I love old school music and music from when I was in high school. While making this really simple apple cake for my MIL and Mudear, I was completely rocking out to Dave Matthews Band!  Crash Into Me is such a sexy little song!

Even though it is still in the upper 90s in the city, fall baking is in full swing in my kitchen!  I am always looking for quick breads to make for my grandmother and MIL.  I used a chunky applesauce but regular will do just fine.  It has classic fall spices that will make your house smell divine!

  2. I'm a lurker, found you by way of Creole in DC. I looked up the song on youtube just to hear the line "hike your skirt up a little higher." It'll be playing in my head all day. : ) Angie
