We won a raffle, a brand new Frigidaire, and I lost my favorite Ice Box.. but like you I watched out for the iceman and got my chips.. The new Fridge was a big deal in the neighborhood, all the neighbors stopped by to look at it, even strangers.. HAHA I don't recall a Linda Salerno, but I knew most of the family..
The Funeral home side of the family were my drinking buddies in our wild years.. Mayor Daley, Richie was my best friend when he was sober, which wasn't often.. Anyway Richie, Sal Salerno (her 2nd cousin..LOL) and I got picked up for fighting over a Salerno daughter.. Lena I think, and got out as soon as they found out Richie was the Mayor's kid.. LOL . Chances are Lena had 17 kids and has 200 grandkids hanging around her neck.. HA!
Oh those great memories.. sigh
Talking about the Salernos, my grandmother used to take me
around the side ? and they had a counter where you could
buy boxes of broken cookies, they were so good.
I live in Atlanta now, and there are times when I would
kill for a REAL Kaiser roll, or decent rye bread, or a
real Danish ring.
Thanks for this thread, I sent it to my mom so maybe she
will get baking again.
My grandmother used to make these things called apricot
rollups that were great but too much work my mom says.
Hi Ma!
