Sammi’s writing prompt this weekend is a real challenge:
And here’s my response:
“My cake flopped,” the newlywed lamented. “It rose so nice, then it caved!”
“Make some chocolate sauce,” Mom suggested. “Warm and thick, smother each piece of cake. That was Grandma recipe for flops. We loved it.”
It’s said that back in homesteading days seasoned cooks advised drowning inferior baking with whipped cream. Since they all had a milk cow or two, they had easy access to cream — and cholesterol was unheard of. I’ve modernized the idea. 🙂

He would, too! There were a very dear, “salt of the earth” couple. Thanks for your comment, Rhonda. Have a great week.
P.s.: We’re celebrating Bob’s 80th BD this week. 🙂
