CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE! IT JUST MAKES YOUR MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!!!

   This recipe was found at www.elizabethsedibleexperience.blogspot.com .   Pound cake and cream cheese, imagine the possibilities! Cake Cravings There is a hilarious scene in an episode of Sex and the City where Miranda makes herself a homemade chocolate cake.

Banshees, also known as Bean-Sidhe, were appointed to forewarn members of Irish families of impending death. Her prescence alone brings no harm or evil, but to hear a Banshee in the act of keening is to have witnessed the announcement of the death of a loved one. The Banshee's wail pierces the night and its notes rise and fall like waves over the countryside.     It is said that Banshees never appear to the one who is to die but to their loved ones.
