5 thoughts on ““Sisters ’Round the World”: Holland; Japan and China”

  1. That Sheath Cake recipe is the same as my Texas Sheet Cake recipe. I wonder which word was the original.

  2. I’m pretty sure “sheet” is the typical/correct word, Carol — this booklet does say “sheath,” which I think must have been a local misunderstanding of the word.

  3. No tea for Japan and China? The last couple posts led me to expect that some sort of tea would be served, where possible. Well, at least there’s a Jello salad. 🙂

  4. My mom. We had the sweet and sour pork every once in a while after this. I think it was the only recipe from this booklet to enter our family culinary vocabulary.
