Thank you for the great posting and for the recipe. I have a sponge cake recipe (and made with yeast) that sounds much like this one which I got from an old New England cookbook many years ago. That one contains orange rind and the frosting is orange rind,ceblainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192522179238414380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-24856452534527992862015-06-19T20:11:34.141-04:002015-06-19T20:11:34.141-04:00You know I just have to try this.

It's very moving, especially when you consider it might not have survived (didn't it get stuffed in a duffle bag in someone's attic for years?).<br /><br />And even better: when you visit the flag, you can also visit Julia Child's kitchen at the museum! And there's a lot of other interesting historical material too, including an amazing four-sided clock.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-88607436561963041342015-06-19T10:48:56.088-04:002015-06-19T10:48:56.088-04:00You've done as all a favor by doing the resear...You've done as all a favor by doing the research and baking for us!

McHenry flag--which, BTW, was made by five (maybe six) women, four of whom were in their teens. The flag is about half the size of a Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-87950301696604811352015-06-19T08:23:40.500-04:002015-06-19T08:23:40.500-04:00It looks so pretty Sheila--I was expecting red, wh...It looks so pretty Sheila--I was expecting red, white, and blue:)Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-24605608354679192342015-06-19T06:37:59.336-04:002015-06-19T06:37:59.336-04:00[Maybe third time is the charm...] Sounds deliciou...[Maybe third time is the charm...] Sounds delicious!Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-21105481954594118032015-06-19T04:17:44.998-04:002015-06-19T04:17:44.998-04:00I enjoyed learning more about USA's history (w...I enjoyed learning more about USA's history (with cake)!
