There were no directions on Mom's hand written recipe. These are mine: Cream shortening and sugar. Stir in molasses beaten with egg. Re-sift flour with other dry ingredients. Add sifted ingredients alternately with milk. Bake cake in greased pan in moderate oven 350º for about 45 minutes.

Personal Notes:
Then there was the time we butchered a cow. Gayle's dad was a butcher, and he cut everything up as we wrapped. Well, Daddy decided that he would cook the cow tongue. He had heard of it being served, and he knew just how it should be done. Daddy tended to be an expert on things he had never done before. He put that cow tongue in a pot and cooked it forever, waiting for it to get tender. It didn't get tender; it just curled up like an old shoe. Daddy finally took it out of the pot and offered it to everyone. We declined but he did try a bite. I don't think he could chew it. Julia Child he wasn't. Bon Appetit, everyone.

My son Chad told me of the time he and Mark were working in the garden, hoeing potatoes. Daddy was watching, not helping, but instructing them on how it was to be done. Mark kept telling Dad he didn't understand. Dad had hoed two rows of potatoes for them before he realized that he had been tricked. He should have read Tom Sawyer.
