Southwest is going to Europe through Icelandic Air.

BWI, Denver and Nashville which are interesting cities to launch from. BWI, I can see but not so much the other.

You are correct, sir!

Texas Sheet Cakes are baked in a jelly roll pan (a large shallow pan) so they are thinner than traditional cake and bake faster. They are typically chocolate with a fudge icing that is poured over the cake while it is still warm. Some recipes call for pecans on top of the icing, some call for a tablespoon of coffee in the mix.

They are similar to iced brownies but with a lighter, less dense texture.

I haven’t made one in years. Time to get baking!

I made it for breakfast today. Maybe it is a Southern thing?

I used to work with a dude, several years ago, that was one of 5 partners in a downtown Austin restaurant called “Bacon”. Not everything they served was bacon-centric, but it was, obviously, their main focus.
About once a month, he would bring breakfast for everyone to the office…biscuits with bacon gravy, and extra bacon…!!!!! :hungry: :hilarious:

@MinnieM123 , as you well know, I love cars in general, but I really have a special place in my heart for the old, old antiques (some consider a car an antique at as much as 30 years old, others less - really, a 1995 model car is an “antique”…?!?!?! 🤪 :cyclops:).
Anyway, In later years, my grandparents on my Moms side owned 4 vehicles (other than their 3 tractors ;)).
A 1974 Ford LTD daily driver, a 1929 Ford Model A (which was a topless rust bucket when I first rode in it through the pasture as a child, and then my grandfather spent 4 years fully restoring it - even driving it in several hometown 4th of July parades), a 1953 Ford F-350 Golden Anniversary truck and a 1954 Ford Custom sedan.

The pic below is from the internet, but it’s pretty much an exact twin to how my grandfather restored his 1929 Model A…!!! :)

The next pic is of the actual semi-restored 1953 Ford F-350, that Mom inherited, on my folks driveway…!!! :)

IMG_1442.jpeg

The next pic is from the internet, but it’s pretty much the Ford Custom sedan, including the windshield visor, but minus the fender mirrors and it was a darker blue…!!! :)

IMG_3395.jpeg

The Model A and the Custom sedan were sold shortly after my grandmother passed (my grandfather had passed a few years earlier), and my Mom sold the F-350 several years ago.
Good memories, though…!!!!! :happy::)

51 years ago yesterday (the 16th) it was -36 degrees F in Vermont and that didn't include any "feels like" numbers back then. I remember it because that was the morning just a few hours after my daughter was born. I had left my wife and the baby for them to rest and I went home for the same reason. When I went to go back to the hospital, my car (a 1970 Buick Skylark) wouldn't start. Not because of the car but because I neglected to put a new battery in it when I knew it was getting weak.

However, the car did have almost 100K miles on it. I had bought it new when I returned from Vietnam. Other than that morning it was one of the most dependable cars I ever owned. However, Vermont winters took it's toll and rust began to take charge. I still hung onto it for another two years before it just was not going to last much longer and at that time had a two year old and a two month old. In todays world 100K is barely broken in but back them the average car life was about 75K. By the time I traded it in it had almost 120k on it and I drove it to the dealer, it was still running quite well but the body was falling off. I see so many 1970 cars in those auctions, but by then it would have been a frame up restoration that included a frame and tires. I don't think that can be called a restoration. That is building a new 1970 Buick Skylark from a collection of left over 70' Buick parts both new and fabricated.

The past handful of years we've had a week seemingly every January with these temps. I don't remember them when I was younger.

Memories at your age are just vague things that float around. It isn't until you get older that you see and read about what they were really like. I have pictures of snow banks higher than the roof line of our house. We used to play king of the hill on them climbing up and sliding down on our butts.

I also remember snow storms, especially in January and February where we would get a fairly thick snow cover and then it would rain creating a thick crust with a semi-solid service that you could use a railed sled and slide down our lengthy front yard. The part that made the situation really bad was that snow removal wasn't nearly as good as it is today. One of the things that is clearer in my head was in spite of that there were very few snow days. When I think about how much I enjoyed winter back then I wonder why we weren't all sent to a child psychiatrist. As a much wiser adult we realize just how evil winter actually is!
