Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake
 I had the urge to bake something the other day, and a recipe on the back of the Biscuit & Baking Mix (Bisquick, or store brand) seemed like it would be quick and painless, and would result in cake, which was the whole point, of course. I altered things a wee bit here and there - here's the official recipe I ended up using: Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake.
John took one bite and his eyes lit up, "This tastes just like Drakes Coffee Cakes!" If you're a fan of Seinfeld, you know that there is NO higher praise for a coffee cake. Even Entennmann's brand, despite the fact that they have a display at the end of the isle. *grin*

Half-Pound Cake?
On my second attempt to make a cake from scratch, I went looking for a pound cake recipe. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough eggs for most of them (a smart man would have tried something else at this point) but I found this one and thought I'd give it a try.
The batter for the exact recipe was pretty bland, it didn't taste like a pound cake or much of anything for that matter. I added a little extra brown sugar and some cinammon which gave the batter a much better flavor.
The cake baked up nicely, but there is no way I would call it a pound cake. It was not nearly dense enough for one thing. It tasted a lot more like a coffee cake, and if I make it again, I would add a crumbled mixture of flour, butter, brown sugar, and cinammon.

In Celebration of Sandwiches
 One day we got to laughing about huge sandwiches that you can barely get your mouth around (I know, we're weird, but hey), and this design was born: "If you want me I'll be behind this sandwich" - a sandwich so big it covers up your entire face. Never try to have a conversation with a person who's eating a humungous sandwich - it's just common sense. *grin*
