“Our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” ~Herman Melville Ladies, yes I am calling you out, and feel free to push back if you really disagree… what is the deal with the scowls all the time? It’s even the weekend and everywhere all I see is what I call […]
Since I had spent Sunday cleaning much of the day, Monday was kind of my day to relax (while the kids were at school anyways). The house was in order, laundry was all done up, our summer yard items had been packed away in the shed and the van had been cleaned and swept over the weekend. So, yesterday I just wanted to curl up with my coffee, catch up on some of my shows that I had recorded, eat some leftover Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes with Smoked Sausage and do some baking. Yes, I do love days like that! No where to go and nothing pressing to attend to. It doesn't happen often, so I relish it when it does! I decided on this recipe for the baking aspect of my day. My grandmother made it often. It was always one of my favorites! This cake is over-the-top scrumptious! It has an incredibly moist batter and the gooey, sugary coconut topping is well, truly the "icing on the cake!" Once cooled, the topping becomes caramel-like and sticky ... and really seeps into the cake! Oh, so divine! I love oatmeal and coconut together in dessert recipes! This one is no exception! Cake Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup boiling water 1 cup oats 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 1/2 cups flour 1/4 nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt Topping Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 cups coconut 1 cup pecans, chopped finely (optional - I omit) 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed 8 tablespoons milk (can use evaporated milk, if desired) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour boiling water over oats in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs. Beat well. Add in the soaked oats, vanilla, baking soda, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients. Pour and spread topping over cake when you take it out of the oven. Bake under the broiler for a few minutes until top is brown. Watch cake closely so that it does not burn. Allow cake to cool. As it cools, the topping will get thick and sticky ... and will really ooze down into the cake!

This is a rare Manning and Bowman Chrome and glass lined serving carafe thermos pitcher measures approximately 7 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter. It has some wear and loss of chroming on the handle and dents. I can hear a rattle inside and the bottom should screw off to release that but I was unable to get it to move (and probably someone else had the same experience and thus the dents) The rattle is flakes of rust from inside the metal and outside the glass carafe, which squeeze out from between the two parts when it is turned upside down The rust probably happened when someone immerse it in water. Clearly marked nice piece.

Stem Count: 25 stems Color: Peachy-Blush with Creams. Mother of Pearls have several tones to them, and while we ADORE the variation, they are a chameleon. Do not order if you have a tight color palette. Season: All Year Special Care Note: Cut and hydrate for 1 hour BEFORE removing cardboard wrapping. Then spread out so they open to full potential. Flower Design Type: Filler Flower Shipping Note: For protection, roses are shipped in a cardboard wrap. The 25 stems are layered, therefore you will only be able to see the top layer. DON'T FREAK OUT, you have not been short-changed, sweet pea! Once you unwrap, all 25 stems will be waiting on you! Pros/Cons Flower Care Quantity Help Substitutes The Good: Standard Premium Roses are very predictable in color and they are so hardy and long-lasting! We rarely do a wedding without roses, they are truly classic and a wonderful foundation element in any arrangement. They are also fun to reflex! The Bad: Roses come closed and need to 'bloom', therefore they need a lot of elbow room, so no crowding! If tight set them outside in warm weather for a few hours or use a hairdryer (heat OFF, cool setting only) to push the petals open. One other trick is to turn a rose upside down and spin the stem in your hand, this will force the bloom open quickly. The foliage on roses are typically crummy, and we often remove, so don't freak if the greenery looks shabby. Remove lower leaves, give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water for 1 hour BEFORE unwrapping cardboard. This will prevent the roses from slumping over by allowing them to rehydrate while upright. After an hour, remove the wrapping and spread out. Allow for plenty of elbow room! Roses can come in tight, so place them in a sunny location to encourage opening. Remove guard petals, which may have spots or bruising.

Based on our design ratios, here's our recommended quantity suggestion: Bridal Bouquet: 8-15 stems Maids: 5-7 stems Bouts: 1 stem Corsages: 1-2 stem Centerpieces: 5-7 stems Large Arrangements: 10-20 stems Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point. Watch our video on substitutions to learn more.Acceptable Subs: Different rose variety in the same color palette, or a combination of filler flowers to give the same stem count and color.
