pictures of strangers, and dump cake

Someone left a comment asking, "What is dump cake?"

It's the easiest cake to make in the whole world, that's what. And it's SO good! Especially slightly warm, with vanilla ice cream.

Dump Cake

20 ounces crushed pineapple
16 ounces cherry pie filling
1 package yellow cake mix, dry
1 1/2 sticks butter, sliced
1 cup pecans or walnuts if desired

Dump the pineapple in a 9X13 pan; dump the cherry pie filling in; stir that around until it's pretty well mixed. Spread dry cake mix evenly over that. Slice the butter over the top of the cake mix, dump the nuts on top, and bake about 45 minutes at 350.

A friend sent me an email about the previous entry saying, "I thought you had to get permission to put a person's picture on the Internet."

I replied, "You are also supposed to get permission to hunt morel mushrooms on somebody's property; I'd say he and I are about even."

I often wonder how these interlopers would feel if they looked out the window of their home one day and saw a stranger helping himself to the tomatoes in their garden, or picking flowers from their rosebushes. What makes them think I feel any differently about people stomping around on my property, stealing my morel mushrooms?

I spent last night at my cabin, which you can read about HERE if you're interested.
