I'm going back to the first recipe collection we did for Scott's Grandmother E. I am so grateful I was able to get to know this wonderful woman, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and cook. She was a gracious hostess each time we'd come to visit. I learned so many things from her, some I follow and some I just think about. For example, we loved her beautifully set table and delicious meals. I loved her blue 'Asian' china. We are not as good as she was about keeping containers off the table. When I put a milk jug, jar of jam, etc. on the table, I know Grandmother would have served it in a dish. This recipe was used for Cheryl's wedding cake. Thanks to Sarah A. (and Facebook), I was able to get a picture of the Cheryl & John. Next time, I'll scan one of Grandmother. This cake was make by Grandmother and served at their open house at her home in Logan. I was expecting Erik, and he just got married!
If anyone has favorite recipes—or memories of visiting the grandparents—they've used out of the cookbook we did way back in the 80s, let me know and I'll post them!
