Happy Turkey Day fellow Canadians! Just sitting down now after a feast of Turkey... all the fixins... and lots of dessert... Mmm... I got a few snaps of that but first... as promised... here is the before and after of that little table I was talking about yesterday...
Here is the table when I got it earlier this summer... I think I got it for only $5... it was that or $8...
Here are the pieces apart and being sprayed...
The pieces after being sprayed... Milo is checking everything out...
Here is the table put back together... and in the picture below it is distressed... Kinda hard to see it in this picture... I think it needs to be banged up a bit more on the top...
Close up shot of some distressing... what do you think?.. too much?.. not enough?..
Close up of the little mechanism that holds the top to the post... when you unlatch it the table top flips up vertically... I'm not sure why because it isn't a very big table so it shouldn't have to be flipped up to be packed away somewhere... if you know why this little table does this please let me know!..
And a close up of one of the legs... this was my first crack at distressing a piece of furniture... I think the next piece will be easier...
Now onto the baked goods!.. I made blueberry tarts... the tarts were a press in the pan tart pastry... and the blueberries from home... the Momma brought them up to us freshly picked when she was here last... and we froze the ones we didn't use... so I used a bunch of them today...
We had them with fresh whipping cream... Ooo... they were tasty... the Newfoundland fog just makes these blueberries the best!..
I also made my first ever Pineapple Upside Down Cake... I was worried it wouldn't taste good... and that it wouldn't come out of the pan...
Here are the pineapple slices in the bottom of the pan with citron bits and maraschino cherries, on top of the melted butter and brown sugar... Then the batter was poured over and it baked for 53 minutes... cooled on a rack for a few minutes and then "the flip"...
Luckily I have a glass bottom spring form pan... I didn't need to undo the spring... as soon as I turned the pan over we watched the cake drop!.. it was instant and all together!.. success!..
This cake was very easy to make and very tasty!.. Yum!.. I'll definitely be making this one again!.. There is something very 50's about these cakes... they're just so charming...
Did you bake anything for Thanksgiving?..
Oh hey I'm linking up to a pile of linky parties!.. Join in the fun!.. Here is who I'm linking up to:
