    And when tears come to his eyes and he suddenly starts speaking in a high pitched voice, that's when I've kicked him somewhere higher up :D

    nopot2pin - you asked on the other thread about the recipe for pineapple upside down cake - well here's a picture of it:

    p_upsidedown.jpg

    And this is the recipe:

    Topping:

    • 2 oz butter
    • 2 oz golden granulated (or brown) sugar

    The Fruit bit:

    • 3 slices fresh pineapple, peeled cored and cut into pieces

    The cake bit:

    • 4 oz butter (or marg)
    • 4 oz caster sugar
    • 2 beaten eggs
    • 6 oz SR flour
    • a bit of milk
    Making it up
    • Grease a dish - either a 7 inch cake dish or, as do as I did as I didn't have one of those, a 7 inch pyrex casserole dish
    • cream the butter and sugar for the topping bit together and spread across the bottom of the tin or dish
    • arrange the pineapple in pieces on top of the sugar/butter mixture
    • Make the cake bit in the usual way (cream the butter and sugar, beat in the egg and fold in the flour, adding enough milk to make a dropping consistency) then put on top of the pineapple, smoothing it out.
    • Pop in the oven gas mark 4, 180 F for about 45 minutes
    • Remove from oven, allow to cool for about five minutes then put a plate on top of the dish and upend quickly so it ends up upside down.
    It was very nice though slightly too sweet for me. I might cut down the sugar a little next time I make it. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream. It went down a treat!
