Happy Monday Everyone!

I went away with a writer friend on Friday to work on my current project.  We took another trip to Tiki Island near Galveston.  I got some serious writing done - but not as much as I had hoped.  There was some 'playing' involved on this trip, too -- dinner out with the girls both Friday and Saturday night.  It cut into my writing a bit, but I have no regrets!  I live in the country, away from most of my friends -- so it was great to spend some time with the girls.  We even had one 'celebrity sighting'.  Holland Taylor.  Heard of her?  She has a long list of movie credits and is currently Charlie and Allan's mom on the TV show 'Two and a Half Men'. 

So, I might not get dressed this week, cook for my family, clean, etc...  Due date on current project -- SUNDAY!!  On these kind of weeks, it's probably good that I live in the country...LOL. 

I have some recipes from an Amish friend, and I'm using one in my current project - German Apple Cake.  I haven't tried this, but it sounds SO yummy!  I'm hoping one of you will try it and report back!  

German Apple Cake

1 cup sour milk 
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cinnamon (she doesn't state if this is a teaspoon or tablespoon - I would think a teaspoon)
2 cups apples, peeled and diced

Topping:

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Add the vinegar to the milk to make sour milk.  Stir in the baking soda.  Place the oil in a large bowl and add the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, flour, salt, cinnamon, sour milk mixture, and apples, in that order.  Pour into a 9" x 13" baking pan.  In a small bowl, mix all the topping ingredients together.  Sprinkle on the batter.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

I think this sounds super good!  Let me know if you try it! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed week!
