We both had February birthdays & that was a special treat made with our own cream & milk, as we still hand milked a couple of dairy cows. We also made lots of sour cream or sour milk chocolate cakes. doward1952(at)yahoo(dot)comDoward Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140614709784851268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-69272729271507907362017-07-04T18:02:08.238-04:002017-07-04T18:02:08.238-04:00Oh darn, I missed the contest!

While she was not a baker in the true sense of the word, it would not be Christmas without her snowball cookies, Thanksgiving had to have her famous dressing, and Easter was all about her Italian ham pies.
