This is wonderful with fabulous directions apparently written with lots of love. My first try wasn't as spongy as I'd like, yet I firmly believe that is strictly related to experience. In my opinion, if you haven't made a jelly roll in over a year, make one as a refresher before you make the one you're going to serve company! Thanks, Grace at Sweet Grace's! Made for <b>My 3 Chefs 2008</b>.

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
