Blueberry-Raspberry Pound Cake

From: A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table (reviewed 28th September 2011)

A tasty cake, if not the prettiest. Blueberries and raspberries color the batter. Could be a kind of marble effect if you mix carefully.

I used 1-1/3 cups sugar (rather than 1-2/3) and it was fine. (Part of the last 1/3 cup was powdered sugar, since I ran out of the regular stuff.)

Yes, the batter looks a bit curdled, but it's no problem.

Butternut soup with Pear, Cider, and Vanilla Bean

From: A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table (reviewed 5th December 2011)

Very interesting flavors here, sweet, but not too sweet.
Took a long time to get this together, but I got bored peeling the squash and did some other things in the middle.

The recipes asks for a 2# squash, making a generous 4 cups of cubed flesh. My squash was 2#6oz and made a generous 8 cups. Hmmm... So I close to doubled the rest of the ingredients. And have a *lot* of soup. It's good though.
