Kristen–this was like reading a page from my own history! We’d try to tape off the Top 40 with Casey Kasem, too, right after coming home from Sunday School, I think. And, we STILL sometimes call the Time & Temp! AND, we still have a Trading Post!
LOVED this post, my almost-twin sister of small-town midwest!

What a riot! You made me laugh out loud! But one thing we had on local tv in Florida was "the clocks" - every morning before school when we wanted to check the weather, we would turn on this channel to find a camera slowly, very slowly panning back and then forth along a wall of clocks : time, temperature, barometer and whatever the other few were. We had to wait until it got back to the temperature "clock". My kids think we lived in the Dark Ages! That cookbook sounds heavenly - I have a couple of old ones like that and it truly is fascinating to read! And this cake looks so fabulous that I'd love to try it!

I laughed out loud when I saw this post. I just finished planning a recipe for a lemon bundt cake I want to make tomorrow. Mine won't be a pound cake and I'm planning to add blueberries, but I still say great minds think alike! I have another thing to add to your list, now teenagers text each other all the time, but when I was a teenager it was handwritten notes/letters. My friends and I had notebooks we'd pass back and forth that we wrote letters in, and I had stacks of notebook paper letters folded in all sorts of ways stuffed in my backpack.

A great reminder of how far we've come and how lucky we are. Loved the YouTube clip! Cate O'Malleys last blog post..Malted Milk Ball Cupcakes

I remember making mix tapes! Hated when the announcer would talk through the intro to the song. I remember when my friends told me that you could record onto a tape from the radio and I was SO IMPRESSED you would have thought she'd just shown me how to fly to the moon. (I was, um, 13!) I'm also glad to have this pound cake recipe. It looks like it would be right up my mom's alley! mariss last blog post..Mom’s Banana Muffins (Low-Fat)

Mix tapes! Ohhhh. I can still see my little boom box with its orange and grey buttons. We would listen to the top 40 and record our favorite songs. The memories! Thanks for the great recipe as well! Jessicas last blog post..Strawberry Jam and Tea Together

Thanks for sharing the Louis CK video. Made me really think about my own behaviors! The pound cake looks marvelous! I was just craving a something citrus-y. I may try making it this weekend. Dawns last blog post..Tasty Thursday...
