My wife gets a regular shipment of a deluxe whole bean coffee that our son got for her. I drink a cup a week maybe now that it is warmer. I'm just craving hot chocolate recently. If Twist posts his recipe tonight I may can get all the supplies tomorrow. We will be in a big city for us with places to get things. We have to go there for Pain Mgt and Pulmonary and Dermatologist. We get to hit Publix and Home Depot and Sam's when there too. I saw that picture of the Hershey box and remembered just how good the scratch made cakes and icing is. Will be using Splenda instead of sugar for the icing and in the cake.

Never heard of Postum.

Created by C.W. Post, a confederate of Kellogg. You've heard of Post Toasties? They were in competition back in the day, Kellogg invented corn flakes and Post came out with Post Toasties. Post produced Postum, a non-caffeinated coffee substitute, now popular with both Mormons and Adventists. This was around the health movement of the late 1800's.

ETA Post also produced Grape Nuts.

Texas sheet cake?

I usually make it in a 9 by 11 inch pan. The recipe was on the Hershey can a long time ago. I wrote down that it was Easy Does It Recipe #11. You might be able to find it on the Hershey web site. The frosting is a butter cream recipe: 6 tablespoons of soft butter, 3/4 C. cocoa, 2 2/3 C unsifted confectioners sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, about 1/3 C milk (enough to make it spreadable) cream the butter in a small bowl, add cocoa and sugar alternately with the milk. Beat to a spreading consistency (add a tablespoon of extra milk if needed) blend in vanilla. Spread on completely cool cake. If you can't find the recipe let me know and I will post it.

Well you just posted the frosting recipe. Now we just need the cake recipe. How are you doing, Miss Iris?

Goodnight Granny Land. Need to sleep and get ready for the road trip tomorrow. Should be back and on for a bit late tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile keep on keeping on. It's all we can do.

Good night, Larry. Safe travels to you and Miss Iris!
