Thank you!
...Dear Chris - That is so kind of you. Thank you!<br /><br />Dear Jo - me too! And yes I remember calling Victorians Mexicans too which is why I was quite offended being called one by Queenslanders...what goes around, comes around :)<br /><br />Dear Mike - I hadn't thought about the change in tastes from cane sugar to corn syrup...interesting.<br /><br />Dear Barbara - I always lean to cakes :) But I did experiment on the weekend with a bit of baking - some very nice ginger biscuits. Hopefully scones this weekend. I just wish it wasn't so blinking hot.<br /><br />Dear Wendy - exactly - how do they judge the quantities and avoid waste. I guess they can't avoid waste if they want the display to look fabulous.<br /><br />Dear Deb - Ha Ha! Indeed. <br /><br />Dear La Nightingail - cheesecake. Now you're talking !<br /><br />Dear Lorraine - Thank you so much for your very kind comments. It was fun to write.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-90803828705117765052017-02-17T07:51:50.506+10:002017-02-17T07:51:50.506+10:00I have included your blog in Interesting Blogs in ...I have included your blog in Interesting Blogs in FRIDAY FOSSICKING at<br /><br />http://thatmomentintime-crissouli.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/friday-fossicking-17th-february-2017.html<br /><br />Thank you, Chris<br /><br />Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-10093785775154439382017-02-15T05:22:15.565+10:002017-02-15T05:22:15.565+10:00I always wonder hiw long some of the items have be...I always wonder hiw long some of the items have been in the cabinets, and how they get things out without disturbing anything else in the packed display in these places, even today. Great old photos. By the way, New South Welshmen in turn refer to Victorians as Mexicans.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-49908195531486954172017-02-13T14:51:02.209+10:002017-02-13T14:51:02.209+10:00That's a LOT of cake.

In America I think the food industry's change from cane sugar to corn syrup has greatly influenced public tastes. I like the one company's description of quantities of ingredients.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-90409170446677368102017-02-13T07:42:34.676+10:002017-02-13T07:42:34.676+10:00Oh my goodness...cake!

I haven't been down to Modesto in an age) that sells cheesecake in just about any flavor you could possibly imagine - lemon, orange, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, maple, almond, coconut, hazelnut, caramel, rum, peanut butter, etc. etc., and of course, chocolate of all kinds. Oh dear. I think I have to go buy some cream cheese and butter and graham crackers!
