A pound of this, a pound of that

I had a hankering for a sweet and simple dessert the other day, and wanted to try something I hadn't made before. I settled on a pound cake recipe from Cook's Illustrated, the best cooking magazine in the whole wide world. It was a laborious recipe but not overly difficult. It turned out superbly. D, who loves pound cake, said it was the best pound cake he'd ever had. I even whipped up some heavy cream for fresh whipped cream to go with it and the blueberries I'd just bought. I love being able to cook on the spur of the moment like this, and I can only do it when I keep some semblance of order and cleanliness in the kitchen. That way it's an opposite-of-stressful event. See me be happy!
