i put the recipe for the cake below. you can mix up the pudding/nut flavors (the original recipe is actually a lime pistachio cake!) so you'll have you let me know if you get any other flavors to work well. tomorrow is another show with charlie and brandon so i'm looking forward to that. this one is much more low-key than the last since we haven't really practiced much for this one. i had a couple friends from jbu in town on friday which was nice. no one i was particulary close to in college but they were coming back from spring break in nyc and one of them had an interview at uva law school. it was nice to see some old faces though and to catch up on all the jbu ongoings. in nyc, they used this website called couchsurfing.org to find a place to stay and it seemed like an interesting idea. i haven't been able to check it out much but i thought it sounded like a cool idea. lynne's parents are in town today and tomorrow so we are going out to eat at basil tonight! woohoo! i always love an excuse to eat there :)
lemon pine nut cake
3 cups bisquick
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon or lime peel
4 eggs
1 small package lemon instant pudding
1 cup coarsely chopped pine nuts
juice of two limes or two lemons
powdered sugar to make glaze
mix bisquick, sugar, water, oil, lemon or lime peel, eggs and pudding together by hand for about a minute. (the orignal recipe says to beat it with an electric mixer but i don't and it always seems to come out fine) mix in the pine nuts and pour into a greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan. bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. let cool, remove from pan. mix lemon or lime juice with enough powdered sugar to make a thick glaze and pour over cooled cake. enjoy!

Abby, thanks so much for posting the recipe. I can't wait to try it -- you've set the bar high, though.
Thanks too for mentioning the couchsurfing.com website. I went and checked their site out and it's a pretty cool idea. If I had more time before Scotland, I'd love to see what is being offered in Edinburgh.
My friends stayed with a doctor from India in NYC and he even took them out one night to an Indian restaurant and then to a bar and paid their entire tab! They said he was so hospitable and let all five of them have free reign over his tiny apartment! It's a free organization that works like eBay, using references to gain/lose favor with prospective "surfers" and such. I'm sure that there are a few nuts on it but it just seems like a cool concept!
