My mother is visiting the past. She remembers her childhood home in Woburn, Massachusetts and she remembers her mother's cooking. She told me yesterday that she remembered that I had the family Bible cookbook. It is 62 years old and I am 64...so yup, it is mine and we are both vintage:)
She told me to look in this cookbook and find the recipe for snow pudding with custard sauce like her mother used to make.
She wanted me to make it because she knew she could swallow it and she had memories. Well, I never knew how time consuming it was. And as kids, we just ate it up, never realizing how much work it was...sorry Grandma...but we loved it.
The gelatin, the egg whites.....the snow pudding part finished, in Mom's old glasses on Mom's old tray...
And then there was the custard sauce. I had never ever made any of this before...
My husband and I had a try tonight...hmmm...Mom I think you will like it...
Grandma would be proud...I will deliver it to my mother tomorrow!
