In reply to Joan. OH, love that you're one of 10, Joan! My dad was the oldest of 10 and all their names began with J :) Even mine does lol. Your memories sound delicious. I am a huge fan of homemade bread and used to do a lot of that when our children were small. Nothing like the aroma or taste of warm bread with butter fresh from the oven. THANK YOU for taking time for my books! I always am amazed when anyone finds them given the plethora of titles out there, especially all the historicals. Bless you and happy reading!

I just finished the Ballentine series and fell in love with your writing! Can’t wait to get into the rest of your books. I’m a fan of historical fiction… the more vivid, the better. Speaking of gingerbread, on these cold winter days I was recently thinking about making some. It also has a lemon sauce and whipped lemon cream fluff on top of that. So good! My mom was one who made meals and baked without recipes. When all ten of us kids were young she would make a huge bowl of dough that baked into eight loaves! I think she did that every week.

In reply to Trisha Robertson. Ah, Colonel Tygart is smitten with you, Trisha:) Love your comments! I am so hungry for lemon sauce with this recipe. Turning heroines into cooking and baking divas is truly a JOY!

In reply to Georgianne.

Georgianne, So impressed you don’t own a dishwasher! The cabin doesn’t have one either and I do miss it, then think of Granny:) She lived just down the road from here so the memory keeps her close. Boiling water is something I DO do here as our water never seems quite hot enough. Ah, the rustic life… I’ve found a way to get more writing done and will be sharing that soon on Facebook. I don’t necessarily write faster but I do seem to get more done! Bless you for being here!!

In reply to Mary Koester. Oh, yes, coffee with that cake, please, Mary! In fact, I just took my mom to the dr today and on the way home picked up a Starbucks Smoked Caramel something or other. Not sure what that's all about but it was quite good. But alas, no cake! You're such a blessing to talk coffee and cake with. I do mean that!

In reply to KATE. Dear Kate, You are the very best kind of cooking/baking grandma! Gingerbread men even trump cake for me:) Prang is a novel-worthy name, too. So unusual and memorable. I am going to look up the Searchlight cookbook. Thanks so much for being here and adding to the fun!
