Howdy folks and welcome back to apron strings if this is your first time here my name is gay and i’m so glad to have you here and if you’re one of my regular visitors i’m glad you’re here too i see some familiar faces up here around the

Butcher block i’ve been gone about a week but let me tell you what this old lady has been working working working you know i showed y’all the backyard where it was grown up from where i had the pea gravel with my garden over to my sitting area

I have got all of that cleaned up all of the everything pulled up out of the way ready to put pea gravel down that was i worked eight solid hours out in the um garden and i did that sunday uh choice had cove it again so

We’ve been a little bit trying to be careful not expose anybody it’s this strand is like a bad cold with a huge sinus infection involved or a light case of the flu he has had fever of once or twice but um nothing major that we have to be so careful with him

So i’ve kind of been sidelined for a week or so with that so while i had to stay home and i know i needed to do videos but y’all i’m having to juggle everything and i’m sorry that i haven’t been here i’ll do better as soon as i can

But i’ll be here occasionally at least once a week i hope maybe maybe i can get back on my tuesday thursday and saturday but anyway i got all of that area cleaned out and then troy was able i told y’all he can sit and do anything just about it so

He climbed up on curly sue which is the little small tractor that was bought to be my little tractor but he took a liking to it that little stinker liked him so he drives it more than i do but it has a little front-end loader on it so i

Raked all the leaves and those white oak trees make lots of huge dead leaves i raked all of those leaves and would scoop them up into the bucket and he would go haul them to the compost pile on the back acreage back there and come back and get another load y’all

I was so tired well i bet you i hauled i loaded two uh 20 buckets of those leaves but i wouldn’t stop till i finished because i knew if i stopped now when he would go to dump i’d go sit down in front of a little fan and cool off a

Little bit my face was as red as a cherry but anyhow that’s what i’ve been doing i’ve been getting all this cleaned up out back and i’m going to give y’all a tour the garden’s looking beautiful the tomato plants are growing i’m going to have squash to pick in a day or two

And then i cleaned all the front porch and i’ve got all the plants from the funeral of richard out there and they’re growing and looking pretty and it makes my front porch look very inviting i’m going to show y’all the front porch when i do the the garden one but i have another

Surprise coming up i got a green stalk which is a vertical garden and i’m going gonna a video the unboxing happy mother’s day i’m gonna video the unboxing and uh the filling it and i feel i’m gonna fill it with strawberry plants so y’all i need to be watching for that video and

Probably the next one that comes out but anyhow thank you for being faithful subscribers and watching for another video for checking on us it’s been it’s been a little uncomfortable not knowing what this we went to a big service at church a bunch of people from church came down

With kobe from that service so i guess somebody there had it i don’t know it hasn’t been life-threatening for troy but i always worry about stuff like that with his lungs like they are anyway i’m gonna make something today that i made years ago as a cake but i’m

Gonna do it in a cupcake pants and guess what it’s pineapple upside down cake done in the past and i have six or eight kids of crushed pineapple six rape cans of tidbits and a bunch of chunks not one can of sliced pineapple but i’m gonna do this with crushed

Pineapple and see if it’ll stick together and work and we’ll see how you make do when you don’t have what you’re supposed to have because i didn’t add everything out ran out there to get my can of pineapple slices and i didn’t have any so anyhow we’re gonna get over here to

The butcher block i’ve got the oven heated to 350 and we’re gonna get the i’ve got everything together and i’ll tell y’all what i’m doing i’m going to get you over here a little closer and we’re going to get these muffins in the oven and see

How they pop out of that pan with crushed pineapple at the top instead of pineapple slices the original recipe you cut all of the pineapple slices in fourths and you put two of them on the top because the whole one wouldn’t fit in the muffin tin

So i’m gonna spray my muffin tin right quick with some kitchen spray i call it it’s whatever you call it i don’t know people have laughed at me for saying kitchen spray but that’s what i call it let me wipe it off so maybe it won’t mess up the top of my

Enamel cookie sheets i love these it’s cookies okay i’m gonna come tilt the camera down where y’all just see what i’m doing you won’t see me but you’ll see that what i’m doing real good and we’ll get it made it takes a box of cake mix three-fourths of a cup of brown sugar

Uh two-thirds of a cup of melted butter the maricina cherries three eggs i have a cup of oil the juice reserved from the pineapple and uh i think that’s it so we’re fixing it going i’m gonna mix my brown sugar in with my butter which is what it’s said to do that’s

Gonna go in directly sometimes my brown sugar i don’t have one of those little sugar discs in there to keep it soft once it gets a little bit knotted up lumped up okay i’m going to get that to lay down instead of making such a huge mess

I better go get an apron and i’ll be right back okay let me get my cake mix open and i have found if you have a cake mix that’s outdated um most of the time if you just add you a three-fourth of a teaspoon of baking powders

It’ll go ahead and rise just perfectly well now i have whipped my eggs a little bit i’m going to mix this up some and i need to add a half a cup of oil three beaten eggs get that out of my way i need the juice from the pineapple

And i need to mix all of that up y’all like desserts this would be good because it’s going to be finger food ready for everybody to just cook them up a piece and not have to cut it and have a mess sometimes that gets a little bit

I could put it in muffin tins i guess muffin papers but i think i’m just going to put it in the pan it didn’t say how much pineapple juice and surely that um crush didn’t have more juice than the other we’re going to see i hope it works

This may be a failure if it is i’m going to be honest about it now what we have to do first is we’re going to put one and a half teaspoons of this brown sugar mixture in each cup and i’ve got 24 cups here actually i’m putting two teaspoons

Just a little bit extra you know what it’s not two teaspoons this is a half of a tablespoon which is one and a half teaspoon that’s perfect okay get the other one done you know if i’d gone to the store after pineapple slices and there wasn’t any and i was

Real hungry with this for this i just went ahead and done what i just now i’m trying to do i’d have made do with what i had i’m going to have enough of that for something else but it won’t go to waste i’ll use it for something now here’s going to be the

Tricky part i got to put some of this crushed pineapple around on there isn’t that funny just do what you have to folks and my hands work a lot better than a teaspoon would i think this will work just fine it just won’t look the same you know without the

Pineapple with a hole in the middle because i’m going to put the cherry on it too you gotta have that troy has been sitting out there for the longest cleaning our ice machine a little light comes on and tells you when to clean it and

Let me tell you what i love that ice paper we use the fire out of it so much that well i got that when i redid the kitchen and um my kids bought one they didn’t we didn’t have that unless growing up all right let me show y’all what it

Looks like well i’m a little bit more here and there because can troy has coughed and coughed and coughed with this but everybody that’s had it says it’s like a huge sinus infection in fact a friend of mine went to the doctor that’s why troy didn’t go for one thing

It scared you not knowing what they might would decide to do with his condition like it is but she went to the doctor and they didn’t even give her antibiotics they told her to keep using her nose spray take tylenol for fever and write it out that was their words so

He didn’t even go but like i said i’m a little bit afraid of doing any of that in here i gotta work these down in there because i don’t have an actual hole to deal with can see some cherry coke in somebody’s future because i saved the cherry juice

You know i don’t think i want cherry tea and y’all know tea is my thing so you know what i’m supposed to do 24 of these and here i am with 12 muffin tins ready i’ll go ahead and do these and then i’ll do the rest of them

Let’s see what we got going it says a fourth of a cup of the dough on the top of that you cook them about 20 minutes at 350. i’ve got a couple of mexican dishes that i’m gonna do too got a neat recipe for making some enchilada sauce and i’m gonna be doing

That and then i’ll be using it to make a couple of different recipes got a lot of ideas coming up i’m just running in slow gear right now that back in there okay i’m going to get another thing of muffin another muffin tin ready i’m get this in

The oven for 20 minutes and i’ll bring y’all back and show you when it’s finished decided to do something a little different i put my brown sugar and butter in the bottom of this small loaf pan and then i sprinkled what i had left of the pineapple over it put some cherries

Around in it i can’t really turn it up where you can see real well because it’ll run everywhere but there it is and i’m just gonna see how it cooks up in this little loaf pan i’ll just put my dough on the top and we’ll see none of it may not work folks

So what happens when you don’t check everything before you get started you’re out of something let’s come out i’ll put this in because it’s going to need to cook a little bit longer than they do and i’ll bring y’all back in 20 minutes i look pretty though just come out with

Some goodie on top i’ll be perfectly happy now i’m going to put this little loaf in there for about 25 minutes so we’ll see how it does let me set my timer i’m gonna let these cool just for a little bit and then i’ll uh put them out on the cookie sheet and

Show y’all what they look like i mean okay they came out i plopped it over and they came out a little bit of the crushed pineapple did stay in the bottom of the muffin tins if i had had the slices everything would have been perfect

So i’ve got the little loaf in the oven and i will wait until i get it out and we’ll see how it does and then i’ll taste of it okay the muffins look pretty good and the little cake looks pretty good it looks really juicy now i didn’t have

A rectangle pan so that’s a paper plate and it’s autumn but it’ll still taste good so i just wanted to show y’all okay y’all we’ve got us a good dessert for supper or whatever and you see everybody has problems sometimes where you have to just make do

But this has also made me realize what if i went to my pantry and i didn’t have something that was real important you just have to learn how to grab something else and make up the difference so don’t forget when you go to the store try to get one extra of something that

You use a lot but you’re not really needing and then you’ll that’s how you will stock up and have some extras things aren’t looking too good and i’m not a doomsday profit but i don’t think it’s going to get a lot better so while you can and the resources are available

You might ought to be getting you a little bit of extra stuff and putting it in your pantry now i’ve told you before and i’m going to hop up on this soapbox again Don’t get english peas because they’re five cans for a dollar if y’all hate english peas that’s wasting your money i don’t care how cheap it is spend your money on something that your family loves will eat enjoys but try to think of the things that they

Love eat and will enjoy that are the most filling for them say things did get really tough find out what they’ll eat that will fill their stomach and stay with them rice is very filling beans of any kind peas your grains your oatmeal your grits your

All of that think about things like that that would make them feel full for longer don’t forget your seasonings you’re going to need salt pepper sugar i always have garlic and onion powder and if you can get you some chili powder you just about cook anything with just those seasonings don’t forget your

Baking soda and baking powders flour and cornmeal powdered milk powdered buttermilk those are some things that would be wise to try to get just in case uh powdered eggs if you can find them now i’m freeze drying me some eggs so i’m gonna have eggs because i’ve got

Chickens too but just in case everybody don’t have a freeze dryer but you can buy powdered eggs so think about that think about what you’re gonna need if y’all like cornbread you’re going to need flour cornmeal baking powder some milk and some eggs salt and garlic onion powder a little

Bit of sugar think about what you like to eat and what it’s going to take to uncook it your wesson oil or your cooking oil i buy the store brand most of the time crisco your solid lord the things that you might need y’all i’m i’m urging you stock your pantry okay

And while you’re stalking it don’t forget to be talking to the good lord he controls everything and he um he can open up a supply chain if he wants to he can close it down if he wants to in the bible he let the sun stand still so

Joshua could finish fighting a battle he controls everything he may have ordained all of this because it’s headed toward the end time i don’t know but talk to him make sure you’re on the right team because there was a lady in the bible and when the prophet or the preacher

Came to her house and told her to make him a little cake she said i only have enough left for one for me and my boy and then we’re gonna die i got enough oil and enough meal and he said well make mine first so she was obedient and she did and

Guess what every time she went back to her cruise of oil there was just enough to make another cake and when she went back to her meal barrel there was just enough to make another cake now if you want your oil and your meal to last

Do your part and have some to start with for the lord to stretch when it gets thin but i do believe he’ll take care of us there was another time when elijah was running from jezebel and he was down by the creek hiding and you know what god

Sent the ravens brought food to him now i heard one preacher say that ravages went right by the king’s table and brought him a big old steak i don’t know what the ravens fed elijah but they fed him so if you’ll do your part and keep your relationship with the good lord

You’re one of his kids you can ask him to take care of you in faith that he’s gonna do it i hope you all have a blessed week um i’ve got a busy week a lot of stuff on my list i’m gonna try to come back

With some more videos but y’all if i maps in a few days just know that i’m here i’m trying to get everything done at home to where i can get back on a regular schedule but there’s some things that you got to get done you can’t put off

And so i’m trying to prioritize and get my home stuff done then i’ll get back on more videos i got some good ones coming up the good lord bless and keep y’all and i will talk to you again shortly you

  1. Tip to keep your brown sugar nice and soft is to add a big marshmallow in it's container works great and cheap only have to replace the marshmallow when it starts getting a little stiff. Prayers for you and your family. God bless!

  2. Wouldn't you know I have never tried an upside down pineapple cake before….and I love pineapple….and cake πŸ˜ƒ
    I'll have to try this.

    I try to have what I need for recipes but I also enjoy the challenge of using what I have on hand to make do.

    I had a severe sinus infection a couple of months back and had never had one before. I since have learned it's likely the new covid strand and that was probably the worse I've ever experienced. The 1st 2 go rounds with it wasn't so bad. This last time though was a long healing process and I ended up on the floor for 2 days with vertigo and took another 2 weeks to completely settle. I've ordered all my groceries in since and have stayed away from people best I can😰 Prayers for Troy on a speedy recovery and prayers for you to not get it. (My husband never did get sick, just me)

  3. These look so good! I hope Troy feels better soon. Can’t wait to see what you’ve done in your gardens!

  4. We as viewers will always b here do not stress your family comes first. I keep you and troy on my daily prayer list.

  5. Hi Gay, don't apologize because life happens. Most people understand life happens and we will be here sitting around the butcher block when you get back. Hope Troy gets better soon. Your cupcakes look yummy. You and Troy have a very blessed and awesome week. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Love ya.

  6. We love upsidedown pineapple cake so these will be great.πŸ˜‹ This reminds me of a good story. I'm the youngest of three boys and my mom made upsidedown pineapple cake quite often. My older brother saw her mix it and put it in the pan and wondered how the pineapples and cherries got on the top. My dad told him that they rose to the top while baking. I still can see my brother sitting in front of the stove, watching thru the glass, oven window waiting for it to happen.🀣

  7. Spring and summer become frantic with jobs to do and we want to be outside in the much needed sunshine getting dirt under our nails and making the place look pretty – so I don't think anyone is going to leave you just because you aren't doing three videos a week. I think over spring and summer – we be grateful for just three vids per month – unless of course you want to take us on tours around the garden/property and just natter about what you have done (or haven't) and what you plan to do…..for some people if they don't have land/gardens/space they can live vicariously through you. For me, I have nineteen raised garden beds, a glasshouse and 104 various fruit trees plus I have an art/sewing studio which I am TRYING to get more time for and I look forward to autumn/winter because I can hide inside. πŸ™‚
    So I take my hat off to you Gay because there is absolutely no way I could be a youtuber – where on earth would i ever find the time to setup – film – download – edit – upload and then reply to all the comments?? Plus you have all this other family stuff, church, housework, washing etc You are AMAZING πŸ™‚ xxx

  8. You are sooo right Gay…everything you stock up on today will be more expensive next week. Hope Troy gets better soon!

  9. I can't lie I was excited to see a video up. But take care of Troy and yourself first. The pineapple upside down cup cakes look good. Now next time you get out buy about 10 or 12 cans of pineapple rings for your prepared pantry 😊. We want you to have plenty for the holiday ham also πŸ€”. Prayers and blessed thoughts for your daughter and her family as they manage the season they are in at this time. Ya'll Stay Safe and Have a Blessed Week.

  10. Looks delicious πŸ˜‹ β™₯️ your videos & look forward to them. Thank you for the words of hope.

  11. Those pineapple upside down cakes look delicious! I definitely want to make those soon! I have fond memories of my mama making this growing up! Still one of my favorites! Praying for you and Troy. Hope he’s better soon! I went to church on Easter and ended up getting the flu. Learned my lesson, so will be much more careful from now on! I love your wise words of the Lord!

  12. I need a treat! We spent five days weeding and getting this yard of our rental house in shape! Oh my! We fell into bed each night. No we can relax until it’s time to go. Waiting on our visas. We’re living out of boxes but I know where my muffin pan is!

  13. Hey Mrs. Gay. It's good to see you. Your cake looks so good. I have a recipe for upside down german chocolate cake and it's so good. Now, you be careful working so hard. We don't want anything to happen to u. Take some good breaks and drink lots of water and tea. I'm going to be praying for Mr. Troy. Ya'll be safe.

  14. Back when my mother-in-law still cooked, she got to where she always used crushed pineapple in her upside-down cake. She liked to use a 9×13 glass dish and served it in squares. Everyone seemed to like it just as good if not better!

  15. Looks delicious. Love visiting your kitchen ❀🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
