hello!

So, here's the caged tomato blog. I'm not very good at keeping these things up to date, so we'll see! I think I might start trying to cook some of the recipes from my vintage files and cookbooks, and post the results here. Also, of course, stuff I'm working on for my etsy shop! Big plans, big plans.

I have been wanting to make a pineapple upside down cake for, like, ever, and I finally did it this past weekend, happy mother's day to me! It turned out ok, my cast iron skillet was too big so it was a pretty flat cake, but it tasted alright. Not great.

I used this recipe, but omitted the rum, cause I like my booze without food. And thought it best not to give my 4 year old any!

Hmm, I might need to work on my food photography also, this looks like it's right out of a 70s cookbook.
