....the Elephant Ears, Watermelon Rind Pickles ************************************************* Boy, do these take me back. My Mom made these too and after we moved from Milw., she'd send these goodies back with us:-) Also homemade pickle relish. The relish in grocery stores will never come close to hers!! I have many of her handwitten recipe notebooks. Even the cake recipe that she made for me every single birthday. -------------- Original message -------------- From: GipCWoman@aol.com > I have a fetish for cook books & have found copies of the ones my Mom used > to use, the ones my Stepmother used to use & I still have my first cook book > that was a gift & my first handwritten cookbook from when I took my home > economics classes in grade school....the Elephant Ears, Watermelon Rind Pickles > and Creamed Tuna on Toast are some of my first achievements..... > My grandma & my Mom hardly ever wrote things down....they just made > things.... > i have been able to get the list of ingredients from my Mom for several of > her best recipes, but trial & error on figuring out the amounts are > endless.....but I'll figure them out, if it takes the rest of my life!!! > > I also READ cookbooks & highlight the ones I would like to try...I used to > make X's on the ones I have tried.....some people make them on the ones they > want to try..... > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > WIMILWAU-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in > the subject and the body of the message
