A Throwback to Childhood


Everybody is making a mad dash to the grocery store and gas stations now that snowmaggedon is winding down here in Texas.

We went all out and had Texas sheet cake too.  I suggested that my wife put on a frilly apron along with heels and pearls to serve it to me. Well, that didn’t work out. I couldn’t even get her to make me a Manhattan. What’s the world coming to? We drug out my 1956 copy of Betty Crocker’s Cookbook to make sure we did it right.
