Thank you.

She wrote down her strawberry shortcake recipe, as she did with many of her recipes. I plan on sharing them all on the cooking thread.

She was hiding a football-sized tumor under her robe in her abdominal area, that hospice found on Wednesday the 28th, and by Friday the 30th she was unresponsive and gone. Not a lot of time to think or worry about recipes.

I’m very sorry.

There are a few recipes that I have memorized, but even with those I have somewhere the written one - even if it’s just a bookmark in a cookbook. I hope you find it.

When my Grandmother was dying, which took place over a long period, my brother realized that we hadn’t gotten Granny’s recipe for her Chicken Pie. Her mind was going in and out toward the end, but she was not in pain and we could sit and talk with her. One day, Brother decided to try and get the recipe, so he asked her how to make chicken pie.

Granny said: “Well, first you get a chicken, and you take all the feathers off.”

My Granny was born in 1890, and she was remembering way back, to the time when she first learned to make chicken pie - and plucking the chicken was simply how one started, back then ;-)
