I'm not a fan of cake shakes. I wasn't consulted. I would have preferred a slice of the lemon cake.

Im making meatloaf for my father-in-law tonight. Im using the Souper Saucy recipe from the Campbells cookbook weve had since 1976. It takes half a can of condensed tomato soup in the loaf. The other half becomes a sauce. Probably baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans on the side. A nice bottle of Napa Cabernet to go along with the meal.

Plain cake (e.g., anything out of a box) needs ice cream - just not blended together with milk.

Portillo's (seasonal) lemon cake is even better than their chocolate cake.

I may have that beat. I still use Ann Lander's recipe.

These are artsy fartsy....i asked for some for my birthday years ago and got these. They might be from Crate & Barrel. Those ones shaped like corn are too flimsy.

I like them too. Something similar on Amazon, though your's might be more "tightly wound."

I've got to ask. Define hot ones. I've bought shishito peppers on multiple occasions and have never found hot ones. They've always given a "pepperish" taste but nothing beyond that. I've resorted to just buying the spicy wrinkly ones that I find at chinese supermarkets. Those are better. Usually break them into two batches, one set I pickle, the other set I toss into stir fry.
