I was given another cherished cake recipe from my youth. This one is a white cake with layers of chocolate icing. Everything's made "from scratch." This cake was always sliced thin and served in a bowl with milk poured over it. The milk would blend with the layers of icing and turn chocolate and we'd eat it by the spoonful, like it was morning cereal or something. For years, my mouth would water at the memory of this cake, so I am so glad to finally have it! But, don't ask me for the recipe, 'cause I ain't sharing. If you happen come for a visit, however, I'll be happy to give you a slice.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
