It’s time to pore through the vast number of letters Nicole Parton’s Favorite Recipes receives each week. There are so many letters, I can barely reach into the bag!
Ah-h-h ... Here’s one from Mrs. Harold Schermerlinger of Philadelphia. Hal-looo, Mrs. Schermerlinger! How’s life in the Cream Cheese Capital of the world? Mrs. Schermerlinger writes:
“How dare you insult my husband!
Mr. Harold Schermerlinger wrote you in good faith after you single-handedly destroyed his 64th birthday party with your disgusting recipe for Orange Sponge Cake !
“Do you know how courageous he was to write?
Mr. Schermerlinger was so-o-o excited about the party. When I told him he was getting a “sponge” for his birthday, he thought I meant a “sea sponge.”
He grabbed it and headed for the hot tub in front of all his birthday guests, after which everyone packed up and left. Can you imagine his embarrassment? We’re seeing a lawyer. Who do you think you are?”
I’m Nicole Parton! Was Mr. Schermerlinger wearing his (ba-da-boom!) birthday suit? - Nicole
