Britt measured out all the dry ingrediates 3 cups of all purpose flour, 2 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  He stirred it up and then it was Momma's turn, she beat 3/4 cup of butter and 3 eggs together.  Then I got to add the pineapple.  Momma gave me the vanilla to pour in too, but Britt took it and dumped it down the drain, so we did without.  Next the directions said to beat it all together exactly 1 minute.  So we sat on the counter and counted to 20 three times.  Well, actually Britt counted to 12 and then said 16 over and over till Momma actually got to 16, then he counted the right way to 20.  I only said da, da, da, da, over and over every time they said a number.  I thought it was easier, who wants to learn their numbers anyway.
