  1. Thanks

    correct - their resort was in Battle Creek Michigan.   The upstate New York thing was another party inventing something other than corn flakes, showing that breakfast cereals go back to the mid-19th century.   I have actually seen the resort in upstate New York - it was deserted and we walked through the woods to get a closer look at it.

    Are you positive?  I have read that flaked breakfast cereals were invented in the mid-19th century as health foods to correct various digestive ailments.  The Kellogg brothers were both 7th-day Adventist health nuts.

    A granola-like breakfast cereal was invented in the mid-19th century at a health resort in upstate New York. 
    Will Keith Kellogg and his brother John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes in the late 19th century.  He and his brother were both 7th Day Adventists and together founded the Battle Creek Sanitarium - a high-end health resort that espoused the lifestyle principles of the 7th day Adventist Church.  They invented flaked breakfast cereals originally to serve to the patrons of their toney health resort as a treatment for various digestive problems.

    I just don't understand why somebody shouldn't eat a hot dog with a knife and fork if that's what they want to do.  I wouldn't but that's just me.

    You do you, as they say.   You might find, as you age, that you will need to find a new version of you to do.

    Better and worse.  My retirement savings have appreciated a subsatantial amount.  I have  close to 1 million in equity  in our house.      On the negative side I came down with an autoimmune disease in mid-2022 and my income took a nosedive because my health made working so difficult.  I have started a new business and am looking forward to a great 2024.

    My father managed an old, old restaurant that had fabulous desserts.  They had a mocha cake that knocked your socks off, wonderful napoleons and chocolate eclairs and they were famous for their chocolate cream pie.  Great apple pie, pumpkin pie and custard pie.  A while ago, I made a custard pie. My husband hadn't heard of them and he didn't think it sounded very good.  He was shocked that something that sounded so bland tasted so good.

    In the 70s guests would say, "Look! I brought some Entenmanns."  And I would think,"So?"

    Maybe we all had mothers and/or grandmothers who baked so we knew what baked desserts were supposed to taste like.

    Right - typical grocery-store mass-produced baked goods.  I could never understand the romance.
