FANNY FARMER
When Mama went to Stetson University,the cookbook she used,(and always used) was Fanny Farmer's "The Boston Cooking School Cookbook".It was a delight to peruse, and in so doing, I found letters and recipes written by many of her friends and family members.She wrote little notes on many of the recipes concerning those friends, and where and why the recipe had been given! .....It is a treasure,folks! One particular recipe had a newspaper article taped to it, detailing the 1972 plane disappearance of a Mount Dora doctor and his wife, from their Bahama summer home.Mama was so distressed about this,that she had written,"I miss Gloria" in the margin of the recipe!
These are such treasured memories that I can look back on,concerning Mother and her friends.It's as if I have a piece of her right here with me all the time!
I can see "OB" with her Pecan Pie, and "Other Mother" with her Chocolate Cherry Cake.They all have a story to tell........
Our Lord has given us some treasured stories to tell too.I have memories of what He has done, just by reading His word! Mama's recipes will last for as long as I take care of them!
God's recipe for Eternal Life will last for Eternity!
