We had to attend a testing workshop and on the way back, one of the teachers was telling me that she spoke German when she was a child, but that during the war, her German father told her to stop speaking it because it wasn't the thing to be caught doing.

I remember doing that....<br /><br />We haven't had much snow this year, and if we don't get our usual April/May rains, we'll be in for another drought year.<br /><br />Which means a summer-long fire ban.<br /><br />Which means no charcoal grills.<br /><br />I'm asking for a gas grill for Mother's Day.

My husband had a woman at church give him a piece of flourless cake last week. He loved it! I'll have to try this for him.<br /><br />Thanks, too, for the tips on meals! I always have to remind myself that sandwiches count. In fact, last night I had ground beef and almost cooked a casserole or spaghetti. But then it hit me that grilling burgers was the way to go! It was quick and easy. I just added carrot sticks and chips. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-7132364486909102172013-03-13T10:35:29.812-04:002013-03-13T10:35:29.812-04:00Thanks for the tips!

Virginia did a good job showing you around the kitchen, right?<br /><br />World War II is such a fascinating era. We stand here on the other side and marvel at the way the country came together to fight that war...but I know they didn't think they were doing anything special. It doesn't feel fun or noble to sacrifice month after month, stretching into years. It's tragic to know so many young men are dying in those horrendous battles. And then, afterwards, when news reached the US about what was really happening in Germany during those years.... It wasn't a good time to be alive, but it was a good time to survive.<br /><br />And here we are, needing to cut back, do without, live simpler lives...and have our chocolate cake, too! What a deal :)<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-31748115362741062672013-03-13T09:46:15.258-04:002013-03-13T09:46:15.258-04:00LOVE it!
