I love reading Think on it, it makes me at least feel somewhat still connected to you. You brighten my day. Now, the main reason for mailing you, I used your easy cake recipe the other night, only I used canned peaches and fresh grated nutmeg. It was very good. I could see using any canned fruit I might have, even fruit cocktail, if that is all I have. It was 45 min. from beginning to eating it. If unexpected company dropped in, I could see myself mixing this up and baking it while they were there, and then having cake and coffee. YUM! Thanks, Lee I got this in the mail and I thought it was a great idea. Hi Judith!

I recommend all the time that USians get a scale, but as yet I do not seem to have reached all 300 million of them. I wonder what the holdup is? The important thing is probably proportion anyway, because it is my contention that 1 teaspoon of baking powder will raise 1 cup of flour. And 1 cup is about 250 ml, so there's another way to go at it.

It would be impossible for Italian women who have a family and works cooks so often and delicious things. It's hard to find plumps at this time of the year if you haven't put aside at the right moment!!! In Italy home-made cakes are usually so easy to do.

When they come there are just always too many, so I make stuff, preserve stuff or freeze them. Snow, I have cherries in the freezer too, from our clothesline tree. I was thinking clafouti, but prefer sour cherries for that. Thing is, I am not in the mood to cook for the neighbors again so soon and can't afford the calories for myself.
