Baking.......???????

So baking really isn't my thing...it's too scientific, and I absolutely hate to read recipes!!!  But I'm going to give it a try tonight!  And it's not going to be boxed cake.  I'm trying, for the very first time, an upside down cake. 

This one will be a citrus upside down cake...geeze what am I thinking?  Citrus in this house is risky.  I love it, but some don't.  I love grapefruit, and I don't think anyone else does except for my grapefruit XS Energy drinks.  Side note, those Grapefruit XS Energy drinks are great with a shot of cucumber vodka!  

OK back to the cake, I promise to take pictures, along with the bakers prayer in the sidebar.  LOL

Years ago, I found out that St. Lorenzo was the patron saint of Chefs and cooks, and now I'm hoping bakers.  Well St. Lorenzo sits proudly in my kitchen window looking over me and reminding me on a daily basis that the pizza has been in the oven too long, or the lasagna is starting to bubble over.  He's been a great friend along with my wine glass.

So with my head in a bakers book, and my wine beside me and St.  Lorenzo in the window, I will attempt to bake my very first citrus upside down cake!  Bear in mind that I'm not using a particular recipe, which is sort of scary to me, I'm going to attempt my own version with some guidance from a simple cake recipe.

Wish me luck!  I'll keep you posted!
