 NB> I've been mostly away for the last week or so, as my dad died on the
 NB> 30th, and I've been tied up with arrangements and services and all. 
 NB> It was peaceful, and I'm glad that he no longer has to suffer all the
 NB> devastations of the Parkinsons that has plagued him for the last
 NB> decade plus... but we will miss him...    I'll probably be a bit more
 NB> spotty for a while yet, but will try to catch up on my backlog
 NB> eventually... :) Now we pick up the pieces... and remember the
 NB> memories... and the meals and the recipes...  ;)

Our condolences to you and yours -- and may your dad now move freely and
without pain in your memories until you meet again.

  Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350''F. Butter three
  9-inch diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Line pan bottoms
  with parchment or waxed paper. Butter paper. Dust pans with flour; tap

  around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn out onto rack. Peel off paper.
