love the pic, ckat. How r u doing way down there?
great photos.. As for the good food we used to eat. Don't think they make things the way they did way back when. Seems that everyone is in a rush, so no patience to wait for bread to rise, or sifting to get cakes to rise higher..... My kids have no clue how to cook, even though the son is a chef. He is the one who got the education, but if you ask him to cook for you, Dah, I get all the time, since we rarely ask...'.I do that all the time.'
Oh, I do remember those really tall cakes, you could share with people or bring half the slice home. My favorite was yellow cake with lemon or pineapple filling with coconut topping. We stopped by a diner some weeks ago--it felt good.
