I know Canada is not like the States and sometimes the law of gravity does not apply up there. Which might explain how in the Devil you managed to pour that cake batter across the working table ( Parallel to it ) and not down like all of the rest us have to do down here in the land of misery and gravity.

Or are you are holding back on a cooking secret and not sharing it with all of us. Unless it is just one of those Canadian things we would never understand. I do have to say the final product sure looks really delicious. Now I have an idea why the pancakes up there are so much lighter, you really have to soak them in syrup to keep them on the plate. Which leads me to thinking the pineapple slices on the cake held it down on the plate where it was placed.

Chuckles. :lol: :lol: :lol:

haha, never noticed that one.....that cake was anything but light

You goofed up , should of said the pineapple slices held it down and as the cake was cut you had to eat it really fast before it floated away. :wink:

man, I love cast iron. piper

Piper San has been known to try taking a bite out of the cast iron when hungry. (Psst - he's nobody to mess around with.)

 

[islandpiper]

jack, if you cook, bake, fry, stew and fricasee really good stuff in cast iron for a hundred years or so....then it seems like even the kettle itself would taste good, right? And a little iron in the diet is necessary.

I made a nice, big Australian Damper Bread in mine over the weekend. Used a dark beer and Hairy Mick scolded me pretty quick. Oh, well......it tastes good. Next time I'll use the light Pilsner he recommends.

Of course, there's always Grandma Doyles Irish Soda Bread, too.......

So many recipes, so little time.

Aren't you glad I took a Tuesday afternoon off, and invented cast iron? I knew you'd be happy.

I invented algebra the next day to make up for it.

 

[Bellybuster]

may as well take credit for the internet too

 

[islandpiper]

Al Gore invented the internet......Kayak Jack invented Boat Science......or was it the other way around?

..Kayak Jack invented Boat Science......or was it the other way around?

'Twas the other way around; Boat Science invented me.

I don't believe for a minute that Canadians pour things sideways. Has to be that the picture was rotated.

The only place you can pour things sideways is on the equator.

Of course if you were in Australia you would be able to pour things UP.

Get your facts straight, Sparky.

[Bellybuster]

We are North of Niagara on the bottom of Georgian Bay. Really is a Northern paradise here.
That upside down cake is a treat, I used to always do cobbler untill I found that recipe.

came from here, a great site for dutch oven cooking

gbinga.....i did not rotate that photo...I rotated the Earth so the batter would pour properly

 

[Kayak Jack]

BB, you ARE in a paradise. And, Dapper Al is about 64 mi W'ly of you in Oscoda MI. I'm about 252 miles SW'ly of you.

I've paddled a couple of times in Killarney. I liked putting in on the W'ly side (Lake Charlton) a lot better than going all the way around. Killarney itself is an interesting little burg.

belly buster i looked at the post last night that sure is some good looking food. i don,t have a dutch oven . i thought i bought one awhile back which it doesn,t have the recessed lid & the feet on the bottom. this was before i knowed anyhting about one.

i plan to get a small one one , & learn to cook in them the bigger ones are heavy for canoeing . i have several cast iron frying pans that i love cooking in. they are heavy too i have other pans that i take depending on trip. cat

 

[Bellybuster]

I think the dutch oven isn't so heavy for canoeing. it can easily be your only cooking vessel. There is not much you "can't" do in a dutch oven.
No worries about the no feet. My big one doesn't have any. You can raise them above the coals with anything...rocks bricks etc...I cut 3 pieces of angle iron for mine. The lid you just have to be careful you don't spill ashes in the food

BB,
Most of the guys you are writing to there, don't live in the Canadian Shield Country. Piper san did, but he vacated. Some of us are still here in the land of granite, flint, gneiss, quartz, feldspar, obsidian, etc. In the South, they outlawed rocks years ago, as being too technologically advanced. :wink:
