I made Laurie's Texas sheet cake last night, it was really delicious and baked up in just 10 minutes in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Thanks Laurie, this very old family recipe is a keeper! Maybe it's the cup of butter it requires that makes it taste so good and of course, the cocoa!
My friend S and I were out walking on the weekend, the weather was beautiful although the sidewalks were still muddy, icy and slippery in parts. I wore boots, they are a lot more stable than running shoes for clambering through the snow! We saw these kumatoes in the grocery store, imported brown tomatoes from Mexico. They taste like tomatoes, maybe sweeter. Have you tried these? We seem to see them around this time of year.
