[Sca-cooks] Silly season

[chawkswrth at aol.com]

You can, if you want-but I have not had one since we left New Orleans in 1972. 

I have tried to find a decent recipe, to make one, but they always turn out dry and tasteless. I think it is the oven, which is anceint and belongs somewhere else other then my kitchen.

I have decided I need to win the Lottery...then maybe I can have House of My Dreams, which includes a kitchen with double 40" ovens....

> I hear you there! My birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years, and even when it's on a different day, it's close enough that I don't remember the last time I had a real birthday cake. My mom used to stick a candle in the middle of the pumpkin pie. X-P) Last birthday party I had was... er, 1980. Been awhile.?
