The Utah Falls were the lucky recipients of some pretty tasty gifts this Christmas. Check it out…Gary sent Lisa a spectacular photo book – National Geographic “Greatest Places.†500 pages of awesome contemporary pics from around the globe. Really cool stuff. And it benefits UNICEF. Way to go, Gary! Can’t go wrong with photos. The gift I got was aimed straight at the gut. Crème-filled Cupcakes, Butterscotch Krimpets, Peanut Butter KandyKakes (still the best)…there’s even some new thing – Crème-filled Coffee Cakes. I’m saving that for last. I’ve used my power of deduction to conclude these came from UncleLar, it didn’t really say. (If I’m wrong about that I apologize to the giver). Anyway, UncLar – sweet job. They will be devoured in a most appreciative way. I’m thinking tomorrow’s lunch is a Chocolate Junior. Happy New Year,
Kenny & Lisa
P.S. – Gary…very nice Christmas Card post. Setting the bar pretty high!
It was me. There was supposed to be a card in there that said something like
“Wishing you a Happy Philly Holiday” – Larry
PS – there was also a CD of Christmas songs from the Philly Pops Orchestra with it (you can see the CD in the photo) – all keeping with the Philly theme.
Glad you (Lisa) liked the book. For a few years now, I’ve made a point to give family Xmas gifts from charity stores. Makes choosing quite easy (they tend to have few choices) and is of some benefit to others.
Also glad you liked the Xmas card. And I think you’re right, the bar is pretty high. I’d had that idea in mind since last Xmas, so I think I have to start planning now for next year’s.
Please further explain these new creme-filled coffee cakes. When I was a kid they had a small oval chocolate cake, no icing, filled with creme. It was my favorite, but was discontinued. Are they back?
Larry – I’m sorry I didn’t mention the Philly Pops CD. It will last long after the TK’s are gone…not a bad collection of classic tunes. Marilyn – the coffee cakes look like your standard crumb cake with a creme inside.
But the good news is your favorite could be back. If you go online and check the TastyKake site, there is an oval chocalate cake seperated by a creme layer in the middle. Chocolate Kremies. I think that’s what you’re thinking of.
You’re right, that’s them! I wonder if they were always available on-line. And I wonder if I’d still like them…not that I’m supposed to eat them, but just curious.
