too much buttermilk
I've got almost a quart of buttermilk in my fridge.
It expires in 5 days.
I bought it so I could make the blue velvet Jimmer cakes a few weekends ago.
The recipe only called for one cup.
Now I've got one quart minus one cup left over.
If I was a smart cookie I would have pulled some kind of evil April Fool's prank on Dan this morning and poured out the regular milk and replaced it with buttermilk.
I wonder if he would have even noticed his Lucky Charms with buttermilk instead of 1%.
Maybe next year.
We're probably going to Grandma's house on Sunday.
I could make a cake to bring with us.
I'm thinking maybe the best chocolate sheet cake ever (which is quite tasty but uses only 1/2 cup of buttermilk) or a batch of Paula Deen's red velvet cupcakes (y'all know I love Paula so I'm leaning towards the cupcakes...plus the recipe calls for a whole cup of buttermilk and I really need to use it up).
So I'm asking you...
family who might be at Grandma's on Sunday?
other family who live in the same city as me?
friends and/or neighbors who enjoy receiving baked goods from my kitchen?
What'll it be?
Looks like I've got enough buttermilk to make several cakes and a few batches of cupcakes.
Not sure if that will happen.
I might just save some for Dan after all.
You've been warned, my dear.
p.s. Here I sit, second day in a row that my kids are elsewhere and I have the quiet house all to myself and I am blogging instead of ironing. I've got my priorities in order. That's for sure.

You could also make a buttermilk pie with it.
You know I love cake, but when I have lots of buttermilk leftover, I make a ton of pancakes and stick 'em in the freezer. Yep.
