Though Vernon watched TV as a youngster, the Petersen's didn't get a television until I was in High School. It was a HUGE 19" COLOR Zenith in a behemoth stereo cabinet (with turntable). It had 13 channels and we thought we were so cool! Vernon and I actually made it through high school and college without an IPod, cell phone, or labtop computer! Our kids think we were raised in the dark ages. Though I have gladly embraced the technology age, I'm proud to have made it through the "no remote" years. (However, having spent my youth filling the wood box on the back porch and splitting kindling for the fireplace, I have to say my gas fireplace with the remote that you can program the night before is mightly nice.)
Back to the subject at hand .. I have been decorating cakes for about 30 years and I have never used a turn table. My mother gave me an old wooden lazy susan that I tried a couple of times but it was almost more hassle than it was worth. This week as Vernon and I were buying supplies for a wedding cake, we impulsively went over the edge and bought a real bonafide top of the line cake decorating turn table called the "Fat Daddio". Isn't it beautiful???
I can honestly say I have no clue how I ever survived this long without one. My black and white world is now screaming technocolor. It's a amazing! And the fruits of our newly simplified labors ...
