“Let’s BAKE a BIRTHDAY CAKE!”

May 10th “Let’s BAKE a BIRTHDAY CAKE!”

There is a “BIRTHDAY” coming up and it is on the 13th of MAY , and just for some extra “GOOD LUCK” and “FUN” this will be a “FRIDAY” and when the occasion of it being your “BIRTHDAY” also landing on the “13th” … YOU are always looking for lots of “FUN and GAMES” since … my BIRTHDAY” also lands on a “13th and FRIDAY” once in awhile… but, in another month!

One of the “GIRLS” in the above PHOTO will be the LUCKY young lady to be celebrating her BIRTHDAY on this FRIDAY the 13th!

Starting from the left side of this PHOTO… Elma… GAIL… Betty Jean… Violet… Jeanne… Theresa… Mary Agnes… Mary Ellen… Stella… and Eleanor.

This is the eight grade cooking class of 1952 so…

NOW as you are looking, what do you think, that we should be making?

Way back … in 1952 – – as far as I can remember … when you, were in the KITCHEN … you would need lots of ingredients … to bake a cake and or to start to make a nice meal?

There were not a lot of boxes… to make a selection from and all you would need to make… “the item as shown on the front of the box or package” … was to add some water.

We would need a good “COOK BOOK” with recipes for everything and lots of additional information, such as how to even prepare the vegetables – meats – even for a simple item to make… such as Pancakes and or even “French Toast” just some of the items that… even I would enjoy for breakfast.

So… for this “FRIDAY the 13th” I am giving some serious thought to making a “RED VELVET CAKE” … an extra special “CAKE” that should command some “rave reviews” … that is if I do a good job?

It just came to me… here I am promoting the use of a good “COOK BOOK” and it just dawned on me that… that is “ME” in the PHOTO holding the “COOKBOOK” someone had to find a good recipe … for the PHOTO to make sense??? “RIGHT?” – – RIGHT!

“HAVE you guessed … WHO is the LUCKY CLASS MATE of mine… who will be having a real nice “BIRTHDAY PARTY” on … this 13th of May – and on FRIDAY … this 2016???

( Just so you do not have to wait … till tomorrow for the answer, that is our very good friend…GAIL )
