A silly friendly meme. And because it is, indeed, so.

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet (most particularly LiveJournal), then post this same sentence in your journal.

Recipes and such.

I have uploaded more of Mom's recipes to my LJ Scrapbook account - all the ones I have scanned so far and plan to upload (some are clippings from books or commercial stuff; those I'm not uploading unless I have strong childhood memories of them).

All the recipes so far up can be found in this gallery.

Items of special interest (to me, anyway) among the new uploads:

• Fudge - the fudge Mom made at Christmas was EXCELLENT, and we almost never got to keep nearly as much as young-me thought we should. It is based on the Joy of Cooking but is richer than that recipe (even in Mom's copy of the book, which is 40 years old - and I believe the recipe in the revised isn't even as rich as that one). It's excellent, and it's probably not on any diet except as an indulengence. :)
• Spice Biscuits - very spicy, very tasty, and I loved them growing up in part because of the neat spice biscuit mold Mom had (and which I now have). When not in use, it hung on her wall (and hangs on ours) because it's pretty also.
• Buttery lemon squares - a delicious dessert from my childhood. Yummy.
• The fanciest cinnamon toast I've personally encountered, courtesy of my grandmother, Ruth Davidson. I don't remember having it much, or what I thought of it; the recipe just amuses me, and it was my grandmother's originally, so that makes it extra-special.


There's a fair bit of Mexican recipes in there, mostly on the last page. I was in the middle of that section when I left off the scanning, which I still need to resume.
