Gina, Yes, those lemon cakes do sound tasty...
Misc.I've always been a fan of lemon anything and we're getting some nice lemons in stores right now. I keep fresh buttermilk on hand, so I might just whip one of these up myself. Here in the Mid-South, we have excellent cultured buttermilk both 2% and 1/2% butterfat. You can't beat it for baking, marinating, and dressings. DH has a standing order for buttermilk biscuits every Sunday. If you do move to Georgia, you're going to become a buttermilk aficionado!
As for the Fels Naptha...I forgot to check Publix when we were in FL last month. Doh! Actually we stayed in Sanibel/Captiva and grocery chain changes are nil. I am so glad to hear that you have mastered stain removal. You might want to send your testimonials to the company. Wouldn't it be great knowing you helped revive a demand for a time tested product? If I think really hard, I can remember the smell of that soap!
No apron purchases lately, but it sounds like you have rediscovered the fine art of apron rotation. Deciding which to use during a holiday season is smart and should ensure even wear. I like the idea of color coding for display and storage. I've seen quilts done that way and it makes sense that they would look great, since vintage aprons and quilts were probably made from the same cotton cloth and remnants. I found this article explaining the demise of our beloved symbol of kitchen harmony. I'm glad that you are doing your part in helping to preserve what seem to have become beloved kitchen artifacts!
"Women abandoned aprons during the feminist era of the 1960s and 1970s when they came to believe, erroneously, that aprons symbolized the subjugation of females. The fact that an apron was simply a kitchen tool, like a dishtowel or a mixing bowl, was forgotten in a headlong rush to abandon the kitchen in favor of the career. Aprons languished in drawers. Then they began to turn up at thrift shops. They were viewed as quaint, and collectors became interested in them."
DH and I are taking a short trip next week and I am going to look for vintage aprons, but I'm NEVER going to find those 'Gina deals'. Do your friends and family call you Hawkeye?
