I think everyone should have some cake in celebration of the day, so here's what you should make:

TEXAS CAKE

* ½ lb butter
* 4 T cocoa
* 1 C water
Mix separately
* 2 eggs
* 2 C sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp soda
* ½ C buttermilk
Combine
* both above mixtures
* 2 C flour

Pour into a greased jelly roll pan (11 X 17)
Bake 375 for 20 min.

Make ICING just before cake is done

Heat
* 1 cube butter
* 3 T cocoa
* 6 T milk
Add

Ummm...are you allowed to share this recipe?? Well, I already happen to have the recipe and was planning on making it tomorrow for Brian's birthday. It really is magical cake. Oh and congratulations on making it into med school! They are lucky to have you! We would like to have you over for dinner sometime before you leave. I haven't seen you in forever!

It'll still be a while 'til I head out of Utah (augustish), but we really should get together sooner than that :) You just let me know when!

Seriously.... way to just give those family secrets out like pretzels.....or technically speaking, more often than pretzels as I am not aware of you ever giving out free pretzels on your blog....

The only secret about that recipe is the marshmallows and it's kind of a disgusting one at that.
