There's No Wrong Answer When Picking a Baby Name that You Like.
ARTICLES

These tips can be useful tools, but you can never go wrong with your gut feeling. Most people will start with a list of baby names that they like. How people get that list may be different.

Thanksgiving, A Time for Family.
ARTICLES
 The days of eating dinner around the dining room table are long gone. I remember eating each meal at home with the whole family -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. We've now replaced home cooked meals with fast-food and car seats. Prepared foods are also very popular. Just visit your local supermarket, and it will look more like a smorgasbord than a grocery store. Then the forth Thursday of November comes along and everything changes. Families start to gather in what becomes the biggest home cooked meal of the year. But why? Let's first take a look at the history behind thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, presently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. It did not become a federal holiday until 1941. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God, and is still celebrated as such by many families, but it is now also considered a secular holiday as well.

2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda

1 cup hot coffee
1 cup 2% milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
 Sift dry ingredients in large bowl. Add apple sause, coffee and milk. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, beat 2 more minutes. (Batter will be a little thin.) Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan and bake at 325 for 45 to 60 minutes. Test with toothpick until it comes out of center of cake clean.
For a great icing combine 1 cup of crisco and 1 cup sugar and mix until fluffy (About 15 minutes). Set aside. Over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup milk and 2 TBsp. of flour. (Hint, mix the 2 TBsp. of flour with a little milk, mix and add to remaining milk). Cook milk mixture until thickened (stirring constantly). Let Cool. Add milk mixture and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract to sugar mixture and blend for another 15 minutes. We call it Twinkle Icing.
