For my Medicare birthday, my much younger baby sister invited me to come to her house in the pecan grove and eat ten layer chocolate cake. Of course there were a few other dishes: ham and yams and green beans and turkey and gravy and dressing and fresh bread--- but none of that mattered beside the cake. Moist and chocolate filled, the cake was the dazzling centerpiece of the dinner. Marjorie does a single layer version in CCC pg 159 that is wonderful too. Just add nine other layers.
After the meal we hopped on the bicycles, cycled 11 miles and read bumper stickers and country signs. I found out the meaning of No Dog Running. I also found that Jesus and Sarah Palin are the two most recognizable names on the pickup truck bumpers. What a fabulous way to enter elderhood.
