I am going to rant. You are warned. To give you backstory. Hubs whined about the kitchen being to dark. When I remodeled I fixed it. I had 6 recessed lights put in w 120 watt bulbs. Now hubs complained kitchen was too bright. Just can’t make him happy. Men! I decided to fix the problem. I went to Lowes. Bought lower wattage light bulbs. Installed them. They didn’t work. Went back today to exchange them. I found out they have to be a specific size (Turns out mine are a BR40). Changed out the light bulbs again-one didn’t work. Since I had bought a 6-pack I had to return them all. I went back to Lowes and exchanged them again. Turns out 3rd time is a charm. I found out I needed an engineering degree to buy light bulbs. Ugg when did that happen???
Mimi’s cake
Recipe
3 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 c crisco
1 T vanilla
1 c milk
3 c plain flour
6 eggs
Cream butter, sugar and crisco. Add vanilla. Alternate adding eggs, milk and flour. Bake at 325 for at least an hour.
My oven cooks slow so it takes about 1.5 hours. I also have to use a stand mixer. Hand mixer just doesn’t do it.
This cake makes 3 layers or cupcakes. I like it plain.
