Yea! those stack cakes were really good and those bread/butter pickles, beets, and my favorites, the pickled green beans. Neverhappen again and they were not such good old days but i am glad i was around, and glad i'm still around. I don't cook that way of course, but not so long ago, i took my city bred kids to an uncles house whose wife still does, and boy, did they eat and brag. Goes to show you-prime rib can't hold a candle to good old days foods. Even if it was just plain cooking, it kept us filled and mostly healthy. Rose
