The hubby and I made this whimsical Birthday "Cake" for a friend. Her daughter contacted me and told me that her Mom really didn't care all that much for cake, so could I make her a cake out of fruit. She sent me a picture as a reference, to let me know what she was looking for in a fruit cake. It also had to be sturdy enough to make the trip to the beach where they are vacationing! The hubby and I went through image after image trying to find just the right designs to make the cake special... after all this lady shares the same name as my Mama... Judy! So, she's pretty special to me anyway! Love you, Judy! I hope your birthday was as special as you are! Have a great time at the beach with your family!!! Have fun and Safe travels! Happy Birthday Judy !!!

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until light and fluffy. Serve immediately. Homemade chili sauce is perfect with this. Serves 6.

Now before you say how strange this sounds, just wait a minute.  This is one of Sichuan's famous dishes, fried eggplant in a lovely fragrant sauce.  There really is no fish in it.  The name, I believe, came from originally using these flavors for cooking fish.  It is one of our restaurant favorites and this version turned tasting just like the restaurant version.  This makes one dish for your Chinese meal. 2 decent sized eggplants, or a few thin Oriental eggplants salt oil 1 1/2 T. chili bean paste (douban jiang) 1 T. finely chopped fresh ginger 1 T. finely chopped fresh garlic 2/3 cup cooking stock (use water from cooking meat or water with some chicken bullion added) 1 1/2 tsp. white sugar 1/2 tsp. light soy sauce 1 rounded teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 T. cold water 1 1/2 tsp. dark vinegar 4 green onions, green parts only, sliced into fine rings 1 tsp. sesame oil Prepare the eggplant by slicing into chunks 3" long and 1" thick or so.  Sprink...
