I have visited an older Philipina sister a few times this year. She is a seamstress. She is a widow with 8 children - all of whom have an advanced college education. Regardless of her exceptional achievements, she is entirely unassuming. She hand made this dress for Caroline. Kindnesses to my children touch me most.
William was chivalrous with his beloved basketball and insisted it go first. (Or maybe it was an exacting study of inertia, or just funny...His mother specializes in over-extrapolation:)
We invited Nadia and the Fragosos for dinner. William especially loves his "Tio." His gadgets are infinitely cooler than the "that's-so-last-millenium" colored pencils Mom packs. Having grown up in the Branch, he has a host of adoptive (and doting) aunts and uncles. 
William has let Caroline know that even if he hasn't deigned touching this mat for 2+ years, it's his and solely a loan. That smile would melt even the most recalitrant lender! 
William "can do it." Here, he can mix a yogurt cake. Philippe's no-fail recipe is: 1/2 C Plain Yogurt, 1 1/2 C Flour, 1 C Sugar (or 3/4 Honey), 1/4 C Cooking Oil, 1 tsp Baking Powder, Pinch of Salt.(I like to mix in a cup of chopped fruit - i.e. apples or pears) Bake at 375 for 35 minutes

How much oil? 1/4 of what?
We want to try this and we even have plain "Greek" yogurt. This Greek yogurt phenomenon is so funny-our moms made "Greek" yogurt when we we children-a certain brand made a new creamy style yogurt that ended up devouring the old greek style yogurt which is now finally making a comeback!
So, what kind of yogurt do you use in the cake? Oh, and what kind of fruit?
Thanks!
