Thanks for the answer Mike. I suspect that its ultimate fate will be to become trendy shelving or a plant holder. The antique stores here often have items that are not so much antiques as oddities.
That same store did have a beautiful oak hoosier that had a built in metal trough for kneading dough. I shall never again have a kitchen large enough for such an item, so I just admire it from afar.
Yes, Mike, that picture is what they were supposed to look like. I'll post the recipe soon, if others would like to play around with it.
Hello, and good to see everyone here! I am excited about this new site. Mike has done a great job. I've modified the spelling of my name a bit from the KAF site, so it is now BakerAunt. I chose that name because I'm the aunt in the family who does the baking and sends goodies to family.
