Quick and Easy ICE CREAM IN A BAG | Anyone Can Do It!! | Working From Ho...




Did you ever feel like you had to move to The South just to get a good recipe and a bite to eat.

Readers, I'm talking about buttermilk almond cupcakes with almond-vanilla or chocolate frosting with crushed walnuts on the top like my Gran used to make.

Talking about Pimento Cheese Spread on toast we used to have for lunch.

Now, I just start with the Southern cooking blogs and websites and go from there.

Southern Living Coconut Cake with Lemon Filling is a good place to begin.


Schulenburg, Texas to Orange, Ca to San Diego, just wondering if walnuts eventually replaced pecans.

And the Chex Mix from Flatonia every Christmas was to die for--seriously, I cannot duplicate that recipe.

Your thoughts...........

Happy Birthday to Aunt Zena.

Thank you for giving us your beautiful paintings to grace our walls.

Her father passed away when she was still a young girl.




Her father was Feodor Charles Arnim.



A few years later she moved with her sister, Bessie Ida Arnim Varley, and two brothers to Orange, California.

Her mother moved the family out to California to be with her brother Uncle Thee, Theodore Beall Laidley.

They lived at 221 South Glassell/








Her house has been restored and it is recognized by the Old Towne Orange Preservation Association.

They all would be so happy to see how their house looks today.
