mdehnersOne of the many things that get lost when a Loved One Passes is that of recipes. Today I was over at Dad's going through Mom's old recipe books. I was looking for two of her's; Clam Chowder and Jalapeño/Cream Cheese Dip. I'd seen her make both most of my life yet can never get them to taste like hers.
Well, as I was afraid of, neither were in her files. Probably, she'd made them so many times and "tweaked" them that she never needed to write them down. I'll just have to keep making and trying...
OTOH,I found two recipes from my childhood that I haven't had since the 70's; 'Sweet and Sour Chicken' and 'Tom & Jerry's. The latter was a Christmas staple(though we got the "virgin" version;>). I'll have to make a batch this coming Yule.....
Cheers,
Pat
