Yes- they say 'Heaven-0!' whichI always found a bit silly. Of course the
words don't have common roots so the whole thing was silly...

I don't know if he would have. My mom never made angel food cake until
Mrs Crocker came out with the mix. I did not get my interest in cooking
from her. I think it came from Grandma Klaassen, who was a legendary
cook. If I could just learn to make pastries like hers I could die a
happy woman...

And there was alway so much yummy stuff at her house, I never missed the
devil's food!
