when I read the news about Hostess going under was, "There go the bread outlets. ."

Oh, yes, those Sara Lee coffee cakes! We always got the ones with pecans, maybe twice a year, and my mom would warm it up in the oven until the icing melted just a little bit.

And we saved the aluminum pans, too. Come to think of it, I still save that stuff. . .. ..
