"Lasses, Butter, 'n' It Mashed Up"

Translation: Mix an equal mixture of molasses and butter.

My Southern may be slightly off, but you get the idea.

Here it is...
A family recipe book that was *cough* published back in '93. We've got some winners in here, folks.

- *Hilda's Big Buns - the name has been changed to protect the innocent.
- Impossible Pie (no crust) - Abra cadabra!
- Another Chocolate Pie- "Aww man! Not another one!"
- *Friendship cake - note: this cake takes 3 months...as in MONTHS to prepare. I may feel like adding the details someday, but this is not one of those days.
- The Magic Pickle
- Watermelon Pickles
- Goop
- 1-2-3-4 Cake

And here are some suggestions from the back of the book.

- "Pour Dr. Pepper in a cup; drop in a slice or wedge of lemon. Microwave till hot. Tastes great!"
- "Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around a watermelon pickle. Bake or broil till done."


Sounds tempting, but I decided on another favorite - butterscotch pie. This pie, this magnificent creation was surely created by the gods for our enjoyment. I'm trying to recreate my grandmother's recipe, which unfortunately, was never written down.

It looks, smells and tastes just like her pie filling. I think I did it. I'll just need to wait and see how it sets in the fridge and adjust the recipe as needed.

Full report tomorrow.
