the Grocery Store - Jeanne Robertson

"Don't Send a Man to the Grocery Store!" Jeanne Robertson said.

This is an incredibly funny lady and her delivery is great.  I think I enjoy this story so much because I have a husband who is rather logical like her husband is.  I get the way the man thinks because I live here too!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this great clip!  Now for more fun, click here to watch Jeanne’s other videos:

And - for those of you interested in the recipe...I have it here below! Enjoy!!

7-Up Pound Cake by Jeanne Robertson’s  

You’ll need: Flour, Sugar, Shortening, Butter or margarine, 7-up (or generic “Twist Up” like I’m using), eggs, vanilla, and a bit of lemon flavoring.

Here is a bit closer shot of the flavorings.

I usually use the cheap vanilla but if you swear by the real stuff or homemade or whatever, knock yourself out and I’ll still be happy.

You just need a little bit of the lemon lime coke so you can get one of these cute little baby cans if you like.

Place your sugar, shortening, and butter in a mixing bowl.

(1 cup butter or margarine, 1⁄2 cup shortening, 3 cups sugar)

 

Mix that up until well blended.

Add your lemon extract or flavoring or whatever it is you found in your pantry or went out and bought.

  (1-1⁄2 teaspoons lemon extract) 

Add in your vanilla.

(1-1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract*)

and all of your eggs.

(5 eggs)

Mix that up really well

Add in your flour.

(3 cups all-purpose flour)

and your 7-up-ish type beverage.

(7 fluid ounces 7-Up (Can use diet)

Mix all of that up.

Then you’re going to pour that into a greased and floured bundt pan.

Pour into greased & floured tube pan (Jeanne just uses Baker’s Joy to spray on her pan to make this easier).

Bake at 300 for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Jeanne says to let it sit for thirty minutes before turning out

.

Goodness, can you smell that?

Now we need to make our glaze. Place your confectioner’s sugar in a bowl. Add a wee bit of lemon flavoring.

And a wee bit of milk. Stir that up until it looks kind of like school glue. Don’t worry, it won’t taste like glue If it is a bit thin, just add more confectioner’s sugar. I always end up making mine too thin to begin with and have to add more.

If you end up with any bad spots because you had a friend who was about to leave and you needed to turn it out sooner so you could send some with her, don’t worry about it. We’re here to eat our food, not build a shrine to it.

Enjoy your cake!

Jeanne Robertson’s 7-Up Pound Cake

• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 1⁄2 cup shortening
• 3 cups sugar
• 1-1⁄2 teaspoons lemon extract
• 1-1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract*
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 7 fluid ounces 7-Up (Can use diet)

In a large bowl, place butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat until it is fluffy and well mixed. Add in lemon extract and vanilla flavoring. Add in all of the eggs and beat again until blended in.  Add in all of your flour and then seven up. Mix until smooth and creamy. Pour into greased and floured tube pan (Jeanne just uses Baker’s Joy to spray on her pan to make this easier). Bake at 300 for one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Jeanne says to let it sit for thirty minutes before turning out. I let mine sit for ten because that is just what I’m used to but I’ll give thirty a try next time!

*Glaze

• 1-1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 tsp lemon extract

Combine all and stir until smooth. Add more milk if too thick, more confectioner’s sugar if too thin. Pour over cooled cake.

*I added the glaze but the original recipe didn’t have it on there. If you make these to freeze, don’t glaze them first, wait til you thaw ‘em!
