“Just Roll with It” Serving up Recipes and Humor

Hello everyone! The cool mornings are so nice and the warm afternoons, I love it. Have I told ya’ll lately that I’m getting a new grandbaby girl?? I am so excited, the time is flying she will be here before we know it. Charley Beth is bound to be rotten to the core. The other three are so she might as well be too.
Speaking of grands, my middle E, Evan, is very quiet and reserved he is a definite introvert, unless you are alone with him in a vehicle. He will talk your ear off and tell you all kinds of facts about things that you have never thought of. One time we were going somewhere together and he’s talking away and he is telling me this story on how chess players burn calories by using their brain, he goes on to say if I burned calories by talking, I would be a twig!!! Assume he thinks I talk too much.
That’s how I took it. He’s not wrong. One time in school they were asked to name their favorite person. He said, “Nana, I picked you.” Heart melting, made me so happy and then this. He said they had to describe the person and he said, “She has puffy hair.” Again, he’s not wrong.
One time my oldest E, Ethan, came home and he said, “Nana, I got you a cookie from Crumbl Cookie, it’s a walleye cookie.” I’m thinking that has to be a nasty tasting cookie. I said, “Ethan walleye is a fish and I don’t think I want it.” He says, “No it’s what Ohio is famous for.” I said, “Do you mean the Buckeye??” He says, “Yes that’s it the Buckeye.” I will eat a Buckeye cookie (peanut butter and chocolate) but not a walleye cookie. I laughed and laughed over that.
I was playing bingo with the kids one time and my youngest E, Ella said, “Nana if you would call the free one I could bingo.” We all laughed. Kids say the darndest things.
One thing for sure Charley Beth won’t be colorblind like her daddy, Jacob.
Poor guy bought these crazy purple shorts thinking they were blue and they were bright purple. When he learned to drive, he could only tell the stop lights by the order they are on the pole. He cannot tell red from green at all. My dad was color blind and I always picked out his dress socks to match his slacks and he was always asking if his clothes matched.
So, I am the reason Jacob is colorblind the mom’s are the carriers. My sisters two son’s are colorblind also. My sister had all girls so they are fine. If a female is color blind it is very, very rare. Jacob has wore some crazy concoctions in his day, I guess Loren picks his clothes out now. If you think about being color blind it is kind of sad not to ever see certain colors, Christmas would be no fun if you couldn’t see red and green.
Enough about all that, ya’ll have a wonderful week and get your Halloween candy bought. I will be making a pot of chili a show dog couldn’t jump over on Halloween night.
This weeks recipe is a inside out cake but it’s a little different than the usual recipe.
Inside Out Cake
1 butter pecan cake mix
1 container of coconut pecan frosting
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1/2 to ¾ cup of butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a Bundt pan or 9 x 13 baking pan.
Whisk the eggs, water and oil together til smooth and add the dry cake mix and beat until combined good. Stir the entire tub of frosting into the mixture and fold in the butterscotch chips.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
You can make a powdered sugar glaze if you like but you won’t need it. Cake is moist.
