[snubbyfan]

I mentioned this in another thread and received requests for the recipe.
It's a dangerously yummy Italian family recipe.
My wife typed it up for me.

I was good. A real diet killer.
"Cooking With Mrs. Snubby" sounds like a fun video series.

Mrs. Snubby says, " It took exactly one large juicy grapefruit.
The consistency comes out sorta like a cross between a shortbread cookie and a cake."

 

[susieqz]

thanks. got it.
that's a great cross.

Have you made it with red or yellow grapefruit or only one? Looks great.

My wife says, "I think it was a pink grapefruit. If you're diabetic it will interfere with your medication, use lemon instead."

 

[susieqz]

i wanted to try grapefruit but i suppose it would be smart to use lemon.
did you know that grapefruit can interfere with lots of meds?
true story.
i gotta try it because i'm always making shortbreads.

My wife's a home health care aid and they're always telling her to not give her clients grapefruit for that very reason.

Wayne, as you know, I have an adventurous pallet. I have never refused to try any dish set before me.

A while back, Ruthie's aunt made a "tomato soup cake".

I actually balked. I couldn't wrap my gourd around it (this coming from a guy that eats jellied eel, blood sausage and haggis).

After a few attempts I took a small bite and proved, once again, that you never know until you try it.

It was really good.

I'll have to get the recipe for you dare-devils out there.


PS: we will try your cake as we loves us some grapefruit.

Which would be a great excuse to have her make another.

So when will you show us that it's perfectly ok, to eat raw cookie dough? After-all, Sean Hannity did on his show a couple-a-times.

Stop it, y'all are going to make me gain weight when I just started losing the holiday gain. BTW, this post was just an excuse to not have the 13th post in two threads today.

I can understand that.
I've had Asian dishes and didn't want to know what I just ate.

Honestly, I couldn't understand how a grapefruit cake would taste until I had some.

My wife does, I don't.
I still remember that Sal Salmonella from eating raw eggs film from High School health class.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Well, Ruthie put the kibosh on that. She says grapefruit and Lipitor are Bozo no-no's.

Harumph, harumph!

I remember "Signal 30" and "Wheels of Tragedy" but I still get in a car.

I enjoyed those kinda films. Not so much the projectile vomiting.
