Rum cake!! I took this recipe from allrecipe.com.. I changed it slightly by adding a second glaze and adding another 1/2 cup of nuts. Make this as it says.. then after it is all cooled, mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 TB milk, 2 TB cinnamon 1/4 ts nutmeg and 2 TB vanilla.. add more milk or sugar to change consistency, which should like syrup. Pour over cake and let stand one hour to stiffen. The key to this cake is the longer is sits the better it gets. Store in the fridge. Ingredients 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix 1/2 cup dark rum 4 eggs 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/8 cup water 1/4 cup dark rum Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube or Bundt pan. Sprinkle walnuts over the bottom of the pan. Mix together the yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup cold water, cooking oil and instant vanilla pudding. Pour batter over nuts. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour. Cool, invert on a serving plate and prick the top. To Make Glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in 1/8 cup water and sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from heat and stir in rum. Drizzle and smooth glaze evenly over the top and sides of cake. Enjoy!

Ohh Bobarah


Hello! Well since this is the beginning, a bit about me and why we are all here.. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I try to run away often, but always find myself back here. People that I meet, they tell me I am very typical "Portland". What the hell does that mean? Some say its the way I dress and the liberal views I have. I don't know what they mean, but its irratating. 
Yeah. I'm not your average lady I guess. I am 27 and a Leo. I come from a loving family. I took a detour before finishing high school. Did the party thing to death. I got into Politics. Then I got into growing medical marijuana. Now Im a chef. I aspire to be a restaurant owner. My dreams are within reach.
Man, that sounds sugar coated.
I grew up with some amazing adults raising me. My grandparents loved me and taught me all that they knew. My parents worked hard to give me the best, but we struggled until my late teens. I was a good kid. I was a very bad young adult. I stole, lied, had sex, drank and did drugs, any drug you would give me for that matter. I was in rehab three times before I was 17. I spent most of my teenage years locked up in one sense or the other. Those are stories for another day...
It took me nine years to regain my senses. 
So, what is a hippie chick from Portland, Oregon with a questionable history to do with herself? Yep. Get into food. Food gives me the ability to release my artistic talents and share my love and leadership with others. 
Portland is a foodie heaven. I grew up learning everything I know from visiting farmers markets and specialty markets with my parents and grandparents. It is a passion that is transforming itself into a promising career. 
Im going to use this space to blog about food and my life. 
It might get interesting. It probably will be informative. Im not your average bear, that is for sure, so it will be something. 

Until next time, 
Sarah <3
