Blueberry Cake
 by
Gordon R. Fogg, Kingston Police Chief
When I was growing up
I lived in a house full of wonderful cooks. My grandmother, mother
and two sisters cooked and baked all the time. There were always
goodies of one sort or another readily available for a growing boy.
One such goodie which stands out in my mind was my mothers blueberry
cake.
The blueberry cake
was so good I stumbled upon an entrepreneurial opportunity at school
. You see my classmates also loved that blueberry cake and would pay
handsomely for a piece of it as well as the many other assorted
goodies I would bring to school on a regular basis. My mother of
course was delighted. She knew how much I liked those goodies
because I always asked for an extra piece.
I soon found that I
had became a very successful businessman. I was making money hand
over fist selling my mothers blueberry cake. That is, until the
great crash. It so happened one day my mother bumped into one of my
best customers. He couldn’t wait to compliment her on her
wonderful deserts. Of course she asked how he could possibly know
about her baking and he of course couldn’t wait to proudly tell
her that he buys a piece from Gordon almost every day. Things
quickly came to a halt. My supplier of goodies went on strike and I
was out of business.
