....it ain't nice to make a feller drool on his keyboard this early in the morning!

(making notes)

(My mother never aspired to be a 'cook'...yet I enjoyed almost....I say "almost" everything she made......except meatloaf! I 'think' she simply added too many cracker crumbs to it....in any case, you could cut a thin slice and use it to challenge someone to a duel...*slap, slap! Take that!*....we added LOTS of catsup.) *I* make better meatloaf...and Rita has tweaked it to suit her diet, and still improved it.

But if Mom served **Cherry Pudding** for dessert, all was forgiven! Somewhere in my youth, she discovered this recipe for mixing pie cherries with dough and kinda of frying in in a cast iron skillet, with thickend cherry sauce to pour over it.....(and, I guess milk or creme for those who NEED silly additions for ambrosia!...I don't).

When Rita & I visited her in about 1981, she made it for me one last time....and I just found what 'seems' to be her little card file with the recipe...we shall see....
