TOD: While my older sister took her piano lesson from Mrs. Bayless, my mother would take me to the store across from Mrs. Bayless's house for a scoop of ice cream. I always chose rainbow sherbet.

What have you folks done with your photo negatives?
I opened up a cookbook from 1925 called My Most Successful Recipes from Lulu Thompson Silvernail, a woman who taught Domestic Science Classes, as they are called on the title page. Some of the recipes are entirely uncalled for. (Cream of Kidney Bean Soup sounds like a bad joke to me.) But some are just weirdly named. She has a recipe for Pimento and Cheese Sandwiches and another for Thousand and One Island Dressing. I just might try a few of her pie recipes. I have never heard of Stewart Pie before (made with brown sugar, butter, flour milk, eggs, vanilla or nutmeg and salt). Cherry Custard Pie sounds delish. Custard Nut Pie is begging to be made. The Squash Pie is sweet and seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. The "Cocoanut" Cream Pie is great.
But I've never heard of Green Tomato Mince Meat before. It's not a pie, but it's in the pie chapter, and it sounds as sweet as a diabetic coma: 6 cups green tomatoes, 6 cups apples, 1 1/2 cups molasses, 2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups white sugar, 2 pounds raisins, 1 pound currants, "1 piece of citron, size of egg" plus cinnamon, allspice, cloves and mace, and a few other ingredients.In a word: No.
George I am sending my prayers and vibes to your Dad and your family. My Dad and his Mom both had Alzheimer’s.
And now, I'm off. I don't know how cold outside it is, but I'll find out soon enough.Be back later.
Vibes to George's dad.
Back from the Ovation Awards sans statuette and then a meal at the Smoke House. More in the notes.
