From the kitchen... Betty Crocker celebrates her 70th birthday

Since her “birth” in 1921, Betty Crocker has shared many delicious cake mixes and cake recipes with three generations of American families. In 1933, a 13-egg angel food cake was introduced. Holiday promotions in the 1930’s featured special recipes for the Sweetheart Cake, Roses in the Snow Cake and the Easter Bunny Cake. The one-step method for mixing dry and liquid ingredients cut mixing time in half in 1943. During World War 11, Betty helped consumers economize with recipes for the thrifty fruit cake and “economy” cakes. In 1947, the first cake mixes were introduced to help busy mothers of the postwar era. Ginger Cake mix and Party Layer cake mix were popular for several years. The Devil’s Food Layer cake mix, also introduced in 1947, continues to be a favorite in homes throughout America. The Chiffon Cake was the cake discovery of the century. It contained a mystery ingredient that was new to cake making in 1948: salad or cooking oil. The Answer Cake was introduced in 1954. It

Stepping Stones... Help for the Humps and Hollows of Life

By REV. ROBIN WENTWORTH APP Peter, Peter Pumpkin-Eater had a wife but couldn’t keep her. Put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well. Case #XOXOXOXOX: The Pumpkin-Eaters Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater are parents of two school-aged children and have recently celebrated their 17th anniversary, i They began dating in high school and Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater recounts how, initially, she was flattered by Peter’s possessiveness and jealousy over other boys...it made her feel loved and special. Neither ever dated many others, and soon after they began “going together,” each gradually lost touch with their same-sexed friends as well. They spent all their time together never realizing the deep undercurrent of insecurity feeding their attachment. When they entered married life, they were young, optimistic and in love. Their roles, by mutual consent, divided along fairly traditional lines. Mr. Pumpkin-Eater provided for the family’s Financial security while Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater cooked, cleaned and carpooled. They describe those early years as busy but happy. Mr. Pumpkin-Eater worked hard to “get ahead” while Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater devoted all her energy towards their home and children. Both knew. what was expected of them and life was smooth. Then things started to change. It began with Mrs. PumpkinEater. Once the children were in school, she became restless. So she got a job...one that took her outside her pumpkin shell. She started meeting new people, learning new things and discovering new ideas. Much to her surprise, she was good at her job. Very good. She received promotions, educational opportunities and lots and lots of affirmation. She also received attention-while Peter no longer complimented her on how attractive she was, other men did. Peter, on the other hand, resented the fact that the dishes weren’t always done and there were nights he had to get supper started. And when they ran into one of Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater’s male co-workers at a restaurant, he became angry and suspicious at the smiles and warm greetings the two exchanged. That night, he insisted his wife quit herjob. She refused, of course. Over ensuing weeks, the conflict escalated. She told him if he loved her he would trust her. He reminded her he was the head of the home and she had to do what he said. She said he was overprotective. He said she was immature. She said he didn’t understand. He said she was selflsh. Someone said something about divorce. Let me clarify a couple of points. First of all, the “job” mentioned here could symbolize many other arenas-a return to school, civic service, performing arts, a Fitness club-you Fill in the blank. Secondly, this is not in any way an attack on homemakers who choose to drop out of the work world. If home is where the woman wants to be “full-time” I personally would stop at nothing to help her Find a way to stay there. You see, this is not about “Women’s Lib” or “equal rights,” or women’s issues at alL.l’in just as tired of that rhetoric as you are. This is about insecure men...men who are terrified of losing their wives. So terrified, in fact, they attempt to "keep” her by confining her and controlling her...in one way or another by putting her in a “pumpkin

about human nature, we are programmed for freedom of choice. And wives who feel they’ve been trapped in a “pumpkin shell” will usually carve another way out. My illustration is admittedly over-simplified...the dynamics of marriage are far more varied and complex. Let me stress, though, that a situation similar to the “Case of the Pumpkin-Eaters” is not by any means hopeless. With a renewed commitment to some constructive communication and creative compromise, such a relationship is 100 percent salvageable. The details of strategy and implementation will be highly unique because different things work for different couples. However, there is one thing that never works: That is to try and go backwards. Once certain steps have been taken in a marriage, there is no choice but to go forward. The only question remaining is whether that move will be made together or alone.
