Oh, Wilgo

Tonight, I made one of Mary's recipes for coffee cake to bring to my cousin's 15th birthday party on Sunday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM (aka Will, aka Wilgo)

 

 William and Mary (1996)

By no means do I feel old, but I remember when William was born! Now he is 15 years old, in high school, and talking about girls!

The recipe that I found for his brunch birthday came out great. I can't quite make out who's coffee cake recipe it is...I think it says Blanch. Whoever it belongs to, it is apparently "Very Good" according to Mary's note on the recipe card.
