Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I think all of us Barkley kids have somewhat of a schizophrenic cooking style, which can be traced back beyond our parents to our grandmothers. Many of the baking recipes in this book come from our maternal grandmother (Granny Dambaugh) whose measured precision represent the ultimate in technique of spatula and sifter. Our paternal grandmother (Grandma Gordon) was always more of a "palm of this, fistful of that" type and relied mainly on feel and memory in her cooking. Kolaches were one of her specialties.
