Some of Mom's recipes
I've uploaded scans of some of Mom's recipes. There are still a great many to go, but here are a few, at least.
Cornish Pasty recipe - One of Dad's favorite recipes; we usually had this for his birthday or Thanksgiving or both, and sometimes at other times of the year. The crust is thick, chewy, flaky and greasy at once - some people love it, some don't. It is definitely not low-fat or low-carb.
Opal McGhie's Floating Pudding - This was a special treat when I was growing up, easy enough and good enough and cheap enough that I got it more often than some, but still rare enough to be a treat.
And it IS a treat. When cooked, it looks like a mistake if you're not used to it, a mixed-up mess of cake and berries that go together however they feel like, sometimes the cake on top, sometimes the berries. Don't worry about it. It tastes incredible. We most often had it with blueberries, as best as I can recall. It goes pretty well with Cool Whip or with vanilla (I recommend French Vanilla) ice cream, but it's great plain too.
Russian Tea - Not sure why it was called that! This is actually fairly tasty. It was also a common thing to get when I was sick, but either not sick to my stomach or not badly so. It was served hot, like a tea would be, every time that I can remember.
Caramel Candy - Served up every Christmas, made up, row on row of wax-twist-wrapped caramels. Most went out to friends and neighbors (and maybe relatives, but I suspect it wouldn't ship well), to my sorrow. VERY good candy.
The Best ****ed Fish ever - The "I" in this is my Mom,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
