A very easy and yummy Pineapple Cake...

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of SR Flour, 1/2 cup of sugar and a 440gm can of crushed pineapple...

Mix all together quickly to make a stiff batter...

I baked mine in a square tin but a large loaf tin would work too...
~

I baked it at about 170C for around 35 minutes ( a loaf tin may take a little longer). Test with a skewer for doneness...

When it comes out of the oven, place it on a wire rack to cool. While still hot, brush melted butter over the top then sprinkle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Enjoy the cake while it's still warm or let it cool then slice and butter it.

How easy was that?

I have been moving beds around our house today. We have a new King sized bed so our Queen went into Kirby's room and the king single went back into the spare room where it belongs. Phew! Now I have to wash all the linens and get them all made up again. Can't wait to see how I sleep tonight!

In other news... I have still been plagued with sore lips - I had another outbreak on Monday morning where I woke up with burning, blistering lips (or actually, around my lips). Honestly, it is so depressing! Anyway, I went straight to the doctors on Monday and was prescribed another type of anti-viral tablets (4 to be taken all in the one day - another $32.00). I went to get the script filled at the chemist only to be told that they did not have it in stock. They would get it in over night so I would have to wait until Tuesday morning before being able to take it. Grrr! Tuesday morning, I went into the chemist and was told that their stockist was 'out of stock'! I nearly burst into tears, I was so fed up with it all. I very curtly asked to have the prescription back please, and told them I would drive to Mt.G (50kms away) to get it filled there, immediately! I rang a chemist before I left and they had 1 box of it left, so they put a hold on it for me. So by this stage I have had 2 doctors and 2 different pharmacists tell me that I have cold sores. I took the medication on Tuesday and it basically did nothing. The lips improved slightly but unless I had some sort of cream (Blistex, Vaseline) on them, they felt hot and itchy and ready to break out again any minute.

Friday morning, my lips were looking better but you could see all around them, redness and swelling just under the skin surface - just waiting to bust out again. So I thought I'd better get the repeat for the prescription filled in case they came up over the weekend. I rang another chemist in Mt.G to see if they had the tablets. No, sorry - you'll need to get the script changed to a different dosage then we can fill it, I was told. I rang to see if I could see my doctor again to get a different prescription - but the doctor was off sick! I waited for the clinic to ring me back and finally got an appointment with another doctor at 11am. When I went into his office, he had already read up on my records - he took one look at me (and a blown up picture of my lips that I took with me from when they were really inflamed and blistered) and said "I can tell you, they are not cold sores. You have 'lipstick dermatitis' because the inflammation is all the way around your lips." He has prescribed some Betnovate 1/2 cream which is a steroidal cream. Overnight, the swelling has already gone down and they do not feel itchy. I have to use it for 2 weeks then see the doc again. Oh, the relief!! Not sure if I will ever get to wear lipstick again though (and I usually always do). I think the 'lipstick' refers to the pattern of where the rash comes out, not so much that lipstick gives you the dermatitis - because I have not worn lipstick for 6 weeks.

My stiff neck finally cleared up too and has been good since last Sunday. I am taking it easy and not doing anything too strenuous so as not to aggravate it again. So I am nearly back to normal! Yay! It's about time!
