1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS:
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluffy and lemon coloured. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in lemon juice and flavoring. Add sifted flour mixture gradually while beating; beat only enough to blend. Add hot milk quickly 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until blended. Pour into ungreased pan at once.

Today California is celebrating its annual Accordion Festival.
California at the Finest
Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten teargas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them, shouting out to give himself up.
~~
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a line-up. When detectives asked each man in the line-up to repeat the words, "Give me all your money or I'll shoot", the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"
~~
In Modesto, CA, Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun but unfortunately he failed to keep his hand in his pocket.

Love the holiday pics - the lemon sponge cake makes me hungry! Still think that “Hug Your Sweetheart Day” pic is so cute and playful - perfect! “And they call it Puppy Love” :)
