Food tradition is weird. I was born & raised in Germany, but I don't like German food at all. I do like my Sourdough bread with whole grain freshly milled flour, but that's about as German as it gets. Birthday cake at my parents' house was always from the bakery. My dad called them "Schlabbermatz" cakes-- thin spongy cake crusts with a smidge of jam and lots of gelatinized & flavored whip cream. 😱 Yuk. Now, all I want is a birthday beer & sourdough crackers with real cheese. My husband loves his chocolate chip cookies...but I sneak in sourdough starter & rye flour. 🤫 We all have our quirks that make us human. Happy birthday to Francis!
