Today we honored Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday and Obama's Inauguration by making a simple pound cake.
I read a story about Georgia Gilmore in Alabama Chanin's Fall/Winter 2008 Revolution Collection. During the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955, Georgia and other bakers raised money to support the cause by baking cakes and pies. By the simple act of baking, she supported a revolution.
Zeke helped make the cake and is insisting it is also for his buddy Petal's birthday.
