guidelines escape me at the moment. sorry…but the accent is on the
ic… at least in Boston

Most popular source for recipes was the Confidential Chat in the
Boston Globe when I was a kid. The only cookbook I really remember my
mom using was a Pillsbury bake-off paperback that she’d get dessert
recipes from, and she made her cakes from a leaflet that was either
in the Swansdown or Soft-as- silk cake flour box. Two faves were
maraschino cherry cake with a cherry nut frosting & always a gold
cake with chocolate frosting made the same day b/c one used 4 egg
whites & the other 4 egg yolks and it was considered sinful to waste
part of the egg.

Thanks Aunt Kathy, I checked my American Heritage Dictionary and it
says the accent is on the Tur’ as in TURmeric. I will have to try the
recipes. Hopefully the shelf life of turmeric is long, because I’ve
had it for 20-30 years.
