So What Happened?™

It was totally the box mix, found it at the little mom and pop store in my neighborhood. I do usually make a homemade one tho, I think the recipe is on allrecipes.com.. and I do it in an iron skillet, it has pecans in the recipe and is AWESOME. This box one will do me just fine on this rainy day tho for sure :)

OH, I love the smell of that cake, the buttery pineapple....where did you put the pecans? I'm going to go and make one...

I made whole grain brownies for my son and they were delish as it was 45 degree this morning here...

Oh please share your recipe! I have a hard time finding the boxed mix anymore, and I prefer the crushed pineapples vs. the rings. I've tried to figure it out myself with little success:(

J.H. answers from Sacramento on June 05, 2011

That sounds wonderful. I wish my little family would eat it, but no. I would end up eating the whole damn thing then feeling worse. I too can't believe it's June in CA. I live just NE of Sacramento and usually we've been wearing shorts for almost a month now. My son is taking it pretty well, but DH is having a melt down. We have been planning our family vacation for next week for about 6 months now and the plan was to drive to Yellowstone, but we had not many solid plans, because we like to have adventures and that's one way to do it. Well...who would have thought it would be snowing from the Sierras across half the nation in June. We expected cooler weather highs in the 60 lows in the 30s, but really? snow??? So there goes our family vacation plan. Last night I told him don't worry, I'll plan us someplace where it's warm, and we'll still have fun. He was not to be consoled. Again, I wish that a pineapple upside down cake would make his world feel better.

Nothing warms my heart like pineapple upside down cake. My mom made one for me every year for my birthday since I was about 12. When I turned 40 she said she was done making them for me and that my daughter should pick up where she left off. So now we make it together for my birthday and my daughter's. She is 13 and loves this tradition. The best cakes are made in grammy's cast iron skillet and I "double the goo" (extra butter and brown sugar for the topping).

I'm in the Bay Area and I am sick of this weather. I drove down a street today and there were so many leaves in the street that it felt like October! I love pineapple upside down cake too. What a cozy thing to do on a dreary day!
