Rememberence of Those Goods Days With Friends Over Coffee
Many a good day was spent with friends over coffee and cake. Just like the Golden Girls we had our cheesecake moments too. There were stories of ALL kinds.It all started in Germany, I was born in a little house on the Freudenberg Hills. The war had been over for several years and people were settling in to a time of new growth, and prosperity. As an Army Brat we traveled a lot but, I was never as Happy as I was in that little old house. It was a short bus ride or an adventurous walk to the River Rhine, where we would stroll along the tree lined colonnade amongst the ducks, and swans the smell of spring flowers perfuming the mid day air. We would pause for a late lunch at outdoor cafes and watch as people leisurely sailed their boats down the river. On late afternoons we would enjoy the coffee houses, were we would enjoy coffee and the most sumptuous cakes and pastries. On hot summer days I would enjoy my favorite lemon ice cream. Even today if I think on it I can still taste the tart, sweet flavor.This little bog is to be dedicated to just that. Coffee, Conversation and Sumptuous cake recipes. So I hope you will all join me, and share your stories of days gone by, and recipes old or new, shared by some one today or passed down from generation to generation. Love to you All, Micki
It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Spring
Everywhere we look we can see the birth of Spring. The Daffodils, and Tulips are blooming, and we smell the heady fragrance of dogwood trees, an tulip magnolias and today I saw my first redbud tree show off it's lively color.
This is my favorite time to sit in the garden and enjoy coffee or tea. This isn't the time for timidity. Deck the table in your finest linens, bring out a beautiful vase and fill it with Tulips, and use your best china and silver. Make the Lime Pound Cake with Coconut and invite a few of your closet friends.
This is the time of making memories and who knows you may be inspiring the next generation to do the same.
Take Heart and Great Care You may be entertaining Angels Unaware.
Love, Micki
