  • Conversations with God

    Updated Nov 24, 2021

One year many years ago, one of my infamous fan letters in the “Agri-News” complained, “The plum cake in Susan’s column was so bad my dog wouldn’t even eat it.” Turns out I had left out the word “self-rising” before flour in the ingredient list, and the reader ended up with plum colored hockey puck material. Recently, I made a mistake in one of my favorite recipes, Carol’s Heath Bar Cookies, but I did catch it and print a correction later. However, I realize not every...
