CAKE FROM PANCAKE MIX


have you ever wanted cake but didnt have mix?

well you can have something close if you have pancake mix

just mix the batter like always and add about a cup of sugar to your batter...

add spices for evenmore flavor...cinnamon, nutmeg.

 drop in about a tsp of lemon or vanilla extract if you have some


NOW BAKE IN A GREASED BUNDT OR CAKE PAN EVEN A BAKING DISH IN A 350 DEGREE OVEN.....

times vary so check the doneness after 30 mins.

you should have something resembling a cake to satisfy your sweet tooth

you can even frost it, with that leftover frosting you have in the icebox

you can make a comic

Remember being a kid and making home made comics. You used white paper, brown paper, loose leafed lined and created!

you folded and stapled them just like the big time publishers and voila!..

nowadays with the internet and photoshop and independent publishers you can have a professional looking comic just like the pros. even from a webcomic

supply a publisher with your comic and they can print them but they need to be print ready..


when we say print ready what do we mean? well they should be in what ever format the publisher wants:    tiff files, pdf files, jpeg etc...

the art should be finished and free of typos and the files should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch)

most publishers have templates to help guide you but once they do you will have a slick new comic

a few good publishers are: ka-blam digital printing and grekoprinting-comixwellspring

google chrome has a popup problem

I use a lot of browsers and one of the worst at blocking popups is google chrome.  Technically
you can block popups in the settings of google chrome but in action it does not stop them all.

just today i went to a site and there were popups after popups and i even had the site in the block popup list. for my money the best browser for blocking popups is internet explorer. And when i say for my money i mean totally free browsers
