Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Farm girl from the heartland"

I loved this book, the autobiography of a young girl growing up in the heartland. Carol Bodensteiner,maiden name Denter, grew up on a farm in Iowa, the middle girl of three sisters. Her childhood was not that long ago but children growing up around her childhood in the cities had much different lives. There were movies, fast foods, jeans and different ways of dressing, fancy toys and trips to Disney Land.

Carol Bodensteiner had a wonderful childhood, not wealthy, but loved. The family was close, they all worked together, the children had their chores. Their two grandmothers spent alternate visits with the family so the girls grew to know their grandmothers. The kids loved playing with the baby animals but knew not to get too attached to them or give them names because the cows and chickens were their meal tickets plus their meals. Much chicken! But that was life. The parents were good, honest, decent people who taught their girls their own values to be carried on. Chores had to be done but were made to be fun. Food was home grown. Carol Denton felt honored to help with the milking. Her mother milked and did as much work as her husband. Carol felt grown. Her younger sister got to sleep late, but Carol felt important. Another time she got to drive the tractor with her fathers' help.

The family attended a small country church. When Carol was two, her father gave her a coin to be placed in the offering thus teaching her to honor God and to give to the church. Her mother taught her to cook and to plan meals. She wanted her girls to know their way around the kitchen plus around the rest of the house. The mother made the girls dresses which they wore to school every day. When the weather was cold they could wear long pants under their dresses. On the first day of school the mother lined the girls up and took their pictures. There are black and white pictures throughout the book. Carol and her sisters attended a one room school.

The father told his children never to buy anything they couldn't afford to pay for. He and Carol's mother were close with moeny. Carol Bodensteiner writes of these lessons in different chapters. Vacations lasted for one day, always visiting relatives, leaving after the milking, then returning home around dark.

I enjoyed reading about good, decent, hard working folks who lived the old American way of life. Old fashioned people with old fashioned ways.

Summary: "Great for a book report!"

My 8th grader had to choose a memoir for a book report. So many memoirs have inappropriate content for her age group. She got through 75% of "Little Heathens" but found it to be exasperating. Thankfully we came across this book and bought it used, she definitely recommends it!

Summary: "Iowa memoir"

First, I know the author. She has written a book that describes growing up on a farm long ago. Since I grew up on a farm in about the same time I know that she captured that age extremely well.

Summary: "A treasure of childhood tales and lessons"

A friend gave me this book as a gift and it fast became a sweet treasure. In fact, I no longer need to write my own memoirs of "growing up country" as this book nearly mirrors my experience! I was a generation after the author, but all of the lessons, hard work, successes and disappointments rang in my heart with each chapter. I've long been a city girl now and happily pass along this book to my friends who ask what it was like to grow up on a farm. It's a true account for those who want to remember and those who have always wondered if it was idyllic as they thought it might be. My only suggestion is that "Growing up Country" should come with a warning label: May induce longing of a simple country life as an Iowa farm girl.
