Lemon Pie "Delicious"(Mom M Recipe #8)

Finally, I made a recipe from the box that someone actually remembered Mom making before.    Mom would be what I called my grandmother  not to be confused with my Mom.  I don't know why but it was never confusing as to who I was referring to when I said it to me or to Mom and Mom.  So this recipe is for lemon pie though the recipe for the pie crust and for the meringue was not actually included on the card so I had to do those on my own.
                                                               



The lemon custard was very sweet and did not set up like my grandmothers did.   I would probably adjust the recipe if I made it again.   My mother (Mom) did though confirm that the taste was the same.    It was very lemony and had good color to the lemon custard.    





I generally do not lean towards making pie because pie crust can be so "flaky" to make and not always flaky to taste.   But this time it worked out well and I remembered to roll it between two pieces of wax paper.  I often forget to do this and it makes it so much easier that I don't know why I don't remember to do it all the time.   I think I expect every time that I will channel my inner french pastry chef and voila it will just roll it out perfectly with nothing other than my french pin and little flour.     

Make sure to note the added "delicious" comment from my Mom (Grandma)  
"It was pretty good if I don't say so myself"

Down a Sourdough Rabbit Hole (Sourdough Rabbit Hole Prologue)

When I first began my sourdough starter in March, I did not know quarantine sourdoughing was a thing. But I found myself home more like a lot of others and I had been wanting to try doing it and now I was home more to give it a try. Luckily, I had stocked up on flour as it got a little difficult to always count on being able to get it a few weeks in when everyone started stockpiling everything. I was not exempt from  the food hoarding phenomena and while I did not go completely crazy, I did keep on hand many more things that I normally would. It certainly was disconcerting to find yourself at a grocery store with shelves completely cleared out of many items and rationing in place. It makes you realize just how spoiled you are being able to get what you want on a whim.     So I started the process and now have been keeping it going for several months.  While sometimes it does seem like a chore to feed it, I mostly find it very interesting to see it grow and use i...

4th of July Honey Drops (Mom M Recipe #5)

It has been a little hot for baking lately so there has been a little hiatus in trying recipes from the box.     I got some great honey from the farmers market a couple of weeks ago and had been wondering what I was going to use it in.    Then I saw this recipe in the box for Honey Drops.      I don't recall having these before, but the recipe looks well used so  they must have been made a time or two.          The recipe makes a nice dough that is easy to roll into balls for baking. Though I was not sure that this was the prescribed method since this like many of the recipes listed only ingredients and no directions.    But they baked up just right.  You have to make the balls on the smaller side since you are putting them together in sandwich fashion.   I suppose you could make a giant sandwich cookie, but I prefer the smaller size.   Sin...
