PICTURE of the day.........
Huntington Drive & Chelsea Rd (just west of St.
Albans) San Marino ... mid 1960's. Van de Kamp's Holland Dutch Bakeries was a bakery
founded in 1915 and headquartered in the Van de Kamp Bakery Building in Los
Angeles. The company's trademark blue windmills featured on their grocery store
signs and atop their chain of famous restaurants that were known throughout the
region. The bakery was sold by the Van de Kamp family and acquired by General
Baking Co. in 1956. The company was sold to private investors in 1979, and
closed in bankruptcy in 1990. Former Los Angeles County District
Attorney John Van de Kamp (D) is a grandson of the baker's founder. The family
also founded Lawry's Restaurants and the Tam O'Shanter Inn . The Van de Kamp's
brand is now owned by Ralphs supermarket chain and used for their line of
private-label baked goods.

I made zucchini bread yesterday...
An old recipe I have used a number of times before.
2 eggs slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 t. vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini (skin too)
3 cups flour
3 t. cinnamon
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350º. Cooking spray in two loaf pans. Whisk eggs, sugar,
vegetable oil, and vanilla in bowl. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder,
cinnamon, and salt in separate bowl. Mix dry ingredients into first bowl
containing egg mixture. Stir in zucchini. Stir in nuts. Divide between two loaf
pans. Bake one hour. Let set 10 minutes then remove from pans and cool on wire
rack.

National
Junk Food Day
To some people, every day is Junk Food Day. For the rest of us, National Junk
Food Day is an opportunity to guiltlessly eat your favorite junk food.
Dietitians will tell you that junk food is any food that contains little
nutritional value. We also include foods that are high in salts, fats, and
sugars. In other words, junk food is all that tasty stuff that the dietitians,
and Mom, consider to be bad for us.
On Junk Food Day, you get to eat anything you want. Eat any amounts that you
want, too. Tomorrow, however, it's back to a healthy
diet.
