For the icing you mention "pet milk" What is that?

 

[allie]

Hmm, good question Nick. I know Pet milk is a popular homogenized milk brand in the south. Comparable to Deans in Indiana. I would think it's just regular ole milk.

 

[Cliff H.]

You in a heap o trouble for not knowing what that is. Wait till Wheel gets here.

Well Pet Milk is a popular brand of condensed milk in the can. Similar to Carnation brand. Like the farm lady say who entered the Carnation Milk jingle.

I like Carnation best of all,
No t*ts to pull, no sh*t to haul.
No barns to clean, no hay to pitch,
Just punch a hole in the son of a b*tch.

ps..Rumor is her jingle didnt win but the company sent her a thousand bucks anyway.

Well I got some bad news. Just got off the phone with the Little Bride..and she say her Missippii mud cake do not contain cocanut. I guess the cocoanut was some kind of yankee addition which has infiltrated over the years. So sorry. I will give you the real recipe shortly.
Them dang yankees is mighty twicky.
