Speaker 2 (11:37):
From David Houston, lots of good things friends. One of
the nicest things you can do on a cold winter's
day is stay inside and bake your favorite cake.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And it's especially nice for those who get to eat it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Right Billy, But do those people realize how much trouble
it was, all that mixing and all those powles that
have to be wise Sometimes I bet it must seem
that every bowl in the kitchen was used. Well. Now,
gold Metal Flour gives you recipes to bake special cakes
using only count of folks one bowl. They're called one
(12:11):
mixed cakes, and boy are they good. They're sour cream, spice, banana, nut,
and apple sauce. They're almost as easy as using a
cake mix, but they taste a whole lot better. So
look for one mixed cake recipes on the back of
Gold Metal Flour sacks. And next time it's too cold
to go outside, stay in your warm kitchen and bake
(12:31):
a one mixed cake. And since you only use one bowl,
why my goodness, you might even have time to bake two.
Speaker 3 (12:39):

Speaker 8 (18:37):
I remember the.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
I remember when I was a little boy, hot Dad
would take all the family in the pickup truck to
town on Saturday. And I remember one time how mister Durkin,
who ran the general store, told us how mother started
shopping there when she was an eighteen.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Year old bride.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Mister Dirkins said he told mother a gold metal flour
and a Betty Crocker recipe gives any cook a margin
for era in case little things go wrong, like a
mistake in measuring. And Dad said whatever he had told
her sure had worked out fine, because mother was the
best cook in all the world.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
I remember how.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Mother and Dad looked at each other then, and how
my brother Billy and I grabbed the gold medal sack
and took it out to the pick up and pretended
not to notice. Make someone a gold metal memory.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Today, Billy, I want to ask you another question about
Hank Thompson.

go up and sing FORR. Hank to or had he
seen the mask act?

Wake One got me a job on the opposite radio
station from him, and then we used to Uh, he
was still doing live radio there, so we'd he would
book somewhere else and then and then he'd hire me

together on radio?
