MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear CAL members,
Our fall season has been a record for rainy days, but the sunshine today was delightful after the rain. The playgrounds were full of children on Friday - blue sky and a holiday from school made for happy little faces.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. More food, more wine, more food. I do love the holiday season.
Speaking of holidays, Christmas is coming to BB this Sunday. It's a magical day where many hands transform our store into a fairyland. We are expecting a blizzard of snowflakes, thanks to you who made them and Rose Chaney and Judy Dabrowski.
This month's recipe is one Tom and I enjoyed for the first time some 30 years ago. It was served at The Grey Whale Inn, Fort Bragg, California. They were kind enough to share and it became a favorite of ours. Hope you try it.
Sour Cream Kuchen
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 package yellow or lemon cake mix
1/2 c. flaked coconut
2 1/2 c. sliced apples, pears, or peaches (we love canned peaches)
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. sour cream
1 egg
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut butter into cake mix ( dry ) until crumbly. Mix in coconut. Pat mixture lightly into un-greased 13x9 inch pan. Build up edges slightly.
Bake 10 minutes. Arrange fruit on warm crust. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle on fruit. Blend sour cream and egg, drizzle over fruit. Topping will not cover fruit completely. Bake 20-30 minutes or until edges are light brown. Do not over bake. Cool and enjoy.
Finally, we have had sad news. Long-time CAL member Carolyn Marshall has died following a severe accident falling from a ladder. She had been in intensive care for some time, but died of complications. Condolences can be sent to:
