Which Reminds Me

Yes, in case you forgot, Grandpa Calkins' special recipe for carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was delicious. Everyone loved it. He started making it all the time because he got so many compliments on that. He started helping with the housework after Grandma Calkins got angina and couldn't do so much. My mother still has that recipe and bakes it once in a while. Ok, so maybe Grandpa Calkins wasn't so picky about things. He once said that he likes fruitcake so everyone gives him their unwanted fruitcakes. Ha ha ha! Still, with carrot cake so easy to bake at home, we don't feel much urgency to travel all the way to Missouri just to taste somebody else's recipe for high-falutin' gourmet fancy schmancy carrot cake that is probably too expensive anyway. Even if we lived around the corner we really don't frequent those really expensive places. McDonald's is a bargain even if isn't so healthy and anyway it is hard to enjoy the food so much when you realize that you are eating twenty dollar bills.
