MY FATHER USED TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON HE WAS SUCH A

Lane cake
This is a cake that my mother only bakes at
Christmas. She first learned about this in the 1940's
from her mother.
Ingredients of the cake:
Two boxes of white cake mix
Seven egg whites
Prepare the cakes according to the directions on the
box, except use 7 egg whites in addition to the
required eggs in the directions.
Once the cakes have cooled, take them out of the pan,
and cut each cake in half length-wise so that there
are four layers.
How to make the icing:
Beat seven egg yolks in a large bowl before
mixing them.
In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of butter, 1/2 cup
of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Once this is melted add 1 cup of crushed pineapple
and its juice.
Cook this until it is thick.
Remove from heat and add the egg yolks.
Mix thoroughly.
Then add 1 cup of raisins, 1 cup of halved cherries,
1 cup of coconut, and 1 cup of pecans.
Frost each layer of the cake and place on top of
each other. Finally frost the top and sides of the
cake with the remaining frosting.

At Easter my great grandmother would make
large cookies in the form of boys and girls
with a hard-boiled egg on the stomach. These
were called "figololi" and were supposed to
bring you good luck if you ate them. My
great grandmother was born in Malta and moved
to Detroit.

The Specialty
The "specialty," is an ice cream dessert created by my younger
sister. It consists of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce,
marshmallows, peanut butter, whipped cream, and candy sprinkles. The
chocolate and peanut butter are melted together and poured over the
ice cream. The marshmallows are then placed around the ice cream as a
border, and the whipped cream is put on to cover the whole thing.
Candy sprinkles are then scattered over the top, and the "specialty"
is completed.
Submitter comment:
The dessert tastes good, but should never be attempted on a full
stomach.

Another tradition that I learned from my mother is that of
Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday in the
Catholic Church. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season
of Lent. Many years ago the Polish people began Fat Tuesday
where they would celebrate by eating jelly-filled donuts during
this day. This symbolized the last day of eating rich, fatty
foods before the fasting during the Lenten season began.

and blend in a blender to a fine powder.
Submitter comment:
Story has it that a lady begged to buy the cookie recipe from
Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas and was refused. After several
attempts, she was told that the recipe would cost two fifty. The
lady said fine and requested the store put it on her charge
account. When the lady received her bill the next month, she was
shocked to see the total $250.00 for a cookie recipe on there.
When she questioned the store, she was told the recipe is a very
expensive one and the store would not refund her money. She was
also told that the recipe is a company secret and should not have
been sold. To get even, the lady is spreading the recipe all
over the country by mail, word of mouth, etc. She is the first
to admit she indeed learned an expensive lesson.
