In my quest for a recipe for orange cake, I dug out this recipe box that lived - why? - with some rarely used kitchen items stored in the basement. I never did find the orange cake recipe but did find the frosting recipe that went with it. I used a lemon cake mix and substituted orange juice for the water and added grated orange rind. With the frosting, I'm sure it was fine.
It was nostalgic to look at a few recipe cards from people long deceased. My husband's aunt's cookies. A neighbor's transparent pie. There were recipes clipped from newspapers and magazines. For things I no longer make. I guess that's why the box lived out of sight.
I'm planning to finish piecing a baby quilt top this morning and then move on to a few alterations. And laundry, oh, my goodness. It should be a quiet weekend, snow on Sunday. Temperatures heading down to single digits as the week begins.
But, it's March, everyone. March! What a lovely thing!

Just the thought of orange cake with orange cream frosting. Yum.
March. A difficult month here in Maine. Last March a terrible storm and closed schools and cancelled
gardening classes. Around the middle of the month. Not Spring.
