I'd doubt that recipe... I've never seen
a recipe that indicates "2 Each Large Eggs"...WTF is an Each egg???
Without a photo of the cake I don't believe it was ever baked. I
studied that recipe, it's a definite FAKE.

No, the recipe is not FAKE, I actually used this recipe this afternoon and
made cupcakes, they are very good even without icing, and anyone with a
brain would know that the recipe means 2 eggs, just like anyone (even you)
would know that it's yellow cake and not *cale* too, but I'm surprised you
didn't attack the typo either. At any rate I like the recipe a lot, and if
you haven't tried it don't knock it with nonsense.

I have not made this recipe but I have made yellow cake from scratch and
have seen many recipes. Most call for only the yolks of the eggs. I remember
one calling for 12 yolks! Perhaps it is written that way so that the reader
will know to use the whole egg as opposed to just the yolk?

That could very well be, I have old handwritten recipes where things are
misspelled and directions are often something like the way the eggs were
written in this one.

Older recipes are often amusing. One that sticks in my mind is a recipe
my grandmother jotted down. It calls for "butter - the size of a
walnut".

That was not uncommon, actually, and was considered about the same or
maybe a bit less in size as a "knob" of butter.

Yes, but what is a "knob" of butter? Sheldon wants to know and of
course we must have photos.

Wouldn't that depend on how large your knob was?

In this country, a knob is something that's attached to doors and drawers. That's pretty much it. And yes, I do speak for most Americans - but only 50% of r.f.c.ers.

I'd call it about 2-3 Tbs. of butter. They assumed future generations

My initial thought was about 1/2 tbsp of butter, because I was considering
the walnut to be unshelled! Then again, I've been on massive amounts of
pain killers this week so my head isn't all that clear. :-)

Yes, last Monday. I came home Thursday evening. The doctors say it was
successful, but only time will tell. The next few weeks will be a
challenge as there's only so much non-cooking I can do. Tonight I managed
(with help) to roast a pre-seasoned sirloin tip roast DH thoughtfully
picked up from the store while I was inpatient and served it with some very
basic baby red potatoes and green beans. Not the best meal, but it
sufficed. There's only so much I can do with no lifting, no bending, no
twisting restrictions. Judging from
the rebound pain, I may have to scale back (and let go) a bit.

Wonderful news on the operation and especially that it was successful!!!!

I am pleased that part is over and now you have to work with it properly!
How long will it take to ease up and be comfortable?

Now, you just have to do as you are told!!! Hard eh) But you just have
to do it)

Hope it eases fast!

Take care, don't take the chance of pushing it too quickly and
spoiling the surgery. Be patient, although I know that's hard

Well, I'm an Aussie not a brit, and I know LOTS of creative swear
words. I love swear words.

I know some people think that the use of profanity shows a lack of
decent vocabulary but that is just not true in a lot of cases. Those
of us that embrace swear words as just another part of language know
how to use them judiciously.

A well placed curse word can make a strong point. If you use one in
every sentence you have a lame vocabulary and low intelligence.

Been there. The biggest lesson was to appreciate what the hubby cooked
(but then, mine is a good cook) and only after a few days express my
