I am glad I saw your article on African-American cookery, especially, baking, today! Like Kameko, I have a degree in English, from, CSUN, and was a Creative Writing, and, Teaching major, a Pan-African Studies minor! I was surprised to see someone like me on the King Arthur web cite! Amen! I love the wheat flour! Some people may think of leaven, when they think of my birthday, so, like the ingredients in bread, they may think of me that way in, November! Matthew 13:33, The Kingdom of Heaven, (NKJV)! This quote is from my, Holy Bible's Concordance, and teaches about leaven! Well, I have baked with family present, my elder, great-great aunt Noella, is the oldest family member who was there with me, when I baked something special for us! Apple Cake, pumpkin cake, honey cake, and, carrot cake! Praise the Lord for your work here with the, Family Recipe!
