WHEN ALVIN AND SUE LIVED IN OUR UPSTAIRS
WITH US, WE HAD A SATURDAY NIGHT RITUAL. SUE AND I WOULD GET OUR KIDS
BATHED AND IN THEIR P.J.'S SO THAT WE COULD WATCH "YOUR HIT
PARADE" AND HAVE THIS RED DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH SEAFOAM ICING OR
SUE'S FRESH COCONUT CAKE. THE RED DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WAS ALSO A
FAVORITE OF LOUIS' WHEN THE SHARPNACKS CAME TO VISIT. |
