It is so good. I am making this for our Autumn "Ladies of The Evening" at Quilts and Calicos in Exeter. This is a potluck supper and sewing night. There is usually around 12 ladies who come and we have a nice dinner and sew a project and just have a good time and a lot of laughs. Funny, when I drink a glass of wine, I sew better....go figure!!! :)

I mailed off my "Harvest Swap" package today for my swap partner Nancy. She should get it in about a week. They say 8 business days, but it usually gets to British Columbia from here a little sooner. I sure hope she likes everything.
Mmmmmm! Janet, that cake sounds wonderful! I'll have to give it a go. What quantity would you measure a "stick" of butter at?

Oh that DOES sound wonderful, kind of like zuccini cake??? I love them! Because I go to the States a lot, I do remember that a stick of butter is 1/2 C. It is kind of nice to buy my butter down there that way! :) Will have to give this one a try...get some veggies and cake at the same time! Ü Thanks for the recipe! Nancy
