With some editing by, and suggestions from Miss M and Mr. Big Food, I finished it! Turned out better than I thought it would a few days ago. In fact, yesterday morning I thought of just chunking it b/c it was still in such a sorry state. But I worked all day on it. I

The recipe instructs the baker to use a template of the baker’s favorite whiskey trademark and some powered sugar. Miss M and Mr. Big Food did this 10 years ago! December 31, 2012. Wow. WHISKEY CAKE Makes 1 loaf cake 1 ½ C walnuts or pecans, chopped½ C raisins, chopped½ C currants1 C flour1 tsp
Miss M made the paper Christmas Star many years ago. Beautiful, isn’t it? And vaguely familiar. It was an inspiration to Daughter C–illustrator of Miss Missy’s School Book I: A Pack of Farm Dogs Starts a School.

See the fellow on the right in the blue-green tie dye? That’s Oteil Burbridge of Dead & Company, a band consisting of former Grateful Dead band members and a few new fellows. Next to Oteil are Bob Weir and Mickey Hart. The text I received from Miss M last week said, “Bob Weir is touching
