This photo was taken of reader Sandra Johnston Carringer, center, with her mother, Katie Johnston, and sister, Mary Lou Johnston Wolfe, in 1960 while her mother prepares a Red Velevet Cake.

We collected several lovely stories and photos from readers throughout the state and even though we were not able to get them all into print, we were able to share the photos online.  Check out our  photo gallery for some great nostalgic images and food memories.
