Who Said "Baby" Boomer?


Hubby will fight you if you say "Baby" Boomer. He ain't no Baby!" Well, he's my baby! Had his 60th birthday today! Said he still feels 30. Our company came in Friday evening. Tom and Bev from San Antonio. Had a really nice visit. Girls went one way shopping and the guys went the other way...who in their right mind wants to look at chain saws or tractors? Friday night for supper I (yes, I) made pork roast, mashed potatoes, green beans followed up with coffee and apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Saturday I had rib eye's, on the pit, salad, and birthday cake. (German chocolate). Sunday morning we went to a place called the Cracker Barel. Too much food!!! Sunday evening Hubby's Mom and Dad came by with a Chocolate pie! So I made coffee and we scarfed that down as well...Well...we HAD to!! Can't hurt anyone's feelings now can we? What?!! So all in all I think Hubby enjoyed himself. Good food, friends, family...doesn't get any better than that. Have a great evening and a better tomorrow.

It sounds like a great feast indeed! I love German Chocolate cake - and I made The Boy one this year for his b-day too!

Nita- Thanks! It was very good. It was a boxed cake to which I added 2tbsp of mayonnaise and 2 tbsp sour cream. Made it really moist.

Preheat Oven to 350 F
Grease a 9x13 pan or dish
Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a separate bowl.
Pour into 9x13 dish
Sprinkle all of the cake mix gently over the wet ingredients
Sprinkle all the pecans over the dry cake mix
Drizzle the butter over the pecans
Do Not Stir!
Place in oven and bake for 60 minutes.
Do Not over bake!
Let cool then place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours of overnight.
You can make this several days ahead of event, just keep covered with plastic wrap.
Enjoy!
