Welcome
Hi Everybody!HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you had a good time over the Christmas holidays. If the amount of treats I ate is any indication, I know I had a good time. In fact, I had such a good time that Vicki has me working out on our cross-trainer to get my weight back to normal, or somewhere close to it.I simply could not resist the delicious Christmas cakes, cookies, plumb puddings, and mince meat pies she made using the old-fashioned recipes on my website.
I even made some brown sugar candy for us to nibble on while we played crokinole, a fun board game invented in Canada sometime during the 1800s. Crokinole is so much fun for all ages that we play it at all our family get-togethers.
This year you will be seeing some cosmetic changes to the website in my effort to make it friendly and attractive. But, you will mostly be seeing lots more old-time dessert recipes -- all the nostalgic, hard-to-find recipes you have been looking for. So be sure to visit often and enjoy a great year.
Sincerely,
Don

Website Updates
Throughout the month of December, I continued making some behind-the-scenes cosmetic touches to the website that really needed doing, and I added one or two of Mom's old recipes to some of the pages, but not enough to point out, so I will let you have the fun of finding them.By the way, have you had a chance to read my SBI! Recipe page yet? On it, I explain how I went about creating my website. Perhaps it will inspire you to start your own website on a topic you know and love.

Old Fashioned Recipe
Southern Jelly Pie Recipe
This old-fashioned Southern recipe is taken from the book "Dishes & Beverages of the Old South" by Martha McCulloch-Williams, published by McBride Nast & Company, New York, in 1913.Beat the yolks of four eggs very light, with a cup of sugar, three-quarters cup creamed butter, and a glass of your favorite jelly, the tarter the better. Add a tablespoonful vanilla and a dessertspoonful of sifted cornmeal, then the whites of eggs beaten very stiff. Bake in crusts -- this makes two fat pies. Meringue is optional, and unnecessary. --Louise Williams
