Mom's Recipes 2

Maybe I should amend "editorial comment" in the previous post to read "judgmental/condescending remarks." A little context is often needed, don't you think? According to mother, this was Gregg's favorite pie. He'll have to confirm that. Recently, during one of our many conversations on this topic, he led me to believe that it may not be true. (Remember, I don't correct spelling. Luckily, as a rule, mother was a very good speller.) Also, this and first recipe were written on 3x5 index cards, which is why the directions sometimes look like poetry.
