  • Never Fail Pastry

    Posted on Tuesday November 17th, 2009 at 05:47 in retro food

  • Pumpkin Chiffon Tarts

    Posted on Monday November 16th, 2009 at 05:29 in pastry, desserts

    The oldest daughter up and got married last spring. Then she moved to Hawaii! That is pretty far away and we miss her. We also are unmoved by her grumbles when it rains and she has “bad weather.” Hello child. Your moms live in Illinois. A...

  • Haldechick’s Chex Mix

    Posted on Wednesday November 11th, 2009 at 18:56 in recipes, retro food, appetizers, cereals

    Once upon a time I didn’t know @Haldechick. Denise read her blog. They had figured out we lived in the same town and commented on each others blogs. Nothing compelling I thought-kind of a hippy/hipster geek knitter Unitarian book lover. I read...
