 DD> Sure. Now it is. Then ...........

To a 14-year-old nothing is amusing, everything embarrassing.
Speaking for myself, though, I never let embarrassment get
in the way of a good meal.

 DD> It hasn't/didn't.

The price is the only thing that puts me off ducks.

Cultivated ones are meatier and usually taste better, though
they are now so civilized that you might as well be eating
turkey.

      Title: Wacky Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Kids
   Servings: 16

           Karen Mintzias
  1 1/2 c  Flour
      1 c  Sugar
      3 tb Cocoa
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Salt
      1 tb Vinegar
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      6 tb Salad oil
      1 c  Water
      3 tb Powdered sugar

  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  In a baking pan, sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Make
  three holes in the mixture (you can press in a soup ladle and remove). Pour
  the vinegar in one hole, the vanilla in another and the salad oil in the
  third.  Now pour the water over the entire mixture and mix with a fork just
  until all the lumps are out.

  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

  To decorate:  Hold a paper doily over the cake and sift the powdered sugar
  on it.  The sugar that goes through the holes will form a pretty pattern on
  the cake.
