The Mormons would be well rid of that witchy snob.
She could have just made whatever it is she makes best without consulting a “Mormon cookbook.” But then she wouldn’t have got a big ol’ sneering article out of it.
I went to an assembly of God church for about 18 years before a forced divorce and finding the woman of my dreams lefy me with no choice but to move on. I had no complaints about the church and actually got some very good teaching there, much of which I agree with and some was truly looney.
But I always called potlucks “fun with ballpark franks”. Of course, you got double points for any dish containing wieners AND Mac and cheese. Some of the food was very good, but most was not worth the calories.
Uh, Mona, I think the only thing you need to worry about avoiding is caffeine. Other than that, you should be able to fix most anything you want. Chill, girl.
I remember the "Mormon Rap": "Green jello with shredded carrots...."
Would somebody explain why jello is so popular with Mormans?
I happen to have a Mormon cookbook, one that was sold by the ladies group our housekeeper was a member of when I was growing up.
It has my family’s favorite hotdog chili sauce recipe and the pineapple filled cooke recipe Macel used to make for us when I was a child. I don’t make those often, too much work.
The book is heavy on the use of jello and cream soup, but there is some good eats inbetween those covers.
Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide To Hosting the Perfect Funeral
Southern funeral traditions with recipes for the correct foods to provide all based upon the departed’s religious affiliation. Hilarious but too true.
While treasurer of my church I had a meeting with the insurance agent. One of the latest ways for some lawyers to make a living is find groups like churches that make and sell cookbooks for fund raiser with recipes from members. They look for recipes that are copied from copyrighted cookbooks. It would take more than a list of ingredients but the text of steps to make would need to match almost exactly.
Take some gallon size Zip Lock bags with you.
People like to send there left overs home with you, but they want to keep their dishes.
I've made this - it really is amazing!! Too bad the author feels these things are below her.
My friend has been to many Mormon functions (pot luck, weddings, funerals). She says there are the reconstituted mashed potatoes with mayo, ham and rolls and about 4 tables full of ‘salads’ (ie, creative Jello creations). Jello on a lettuce leaf with a blob of mayo is your veggie and Jello with cool whip is your dessert. One such salad was some kind of pudding/Jello combo with the Lucky Charms marshmallows in it. By the time they woke up from their sugar coma, it was a whole new week.
If I’m not mistaken, Utah has the highest per capita sugar consumption. She figures it must make up for no caffeine.
