We've never had one and thinking about all this "traditional" food makes me remember the covered dish dinners in the basement of our church in Shively, KY, a suburb of Louisville.

My mother has several in her recipe box, especially cakes that call for things like (uck!) prune baby food. My mother sure loved that Jello "salad," which originally called for an extra 2/3 c of sugar, but she never added. Wouldn't that be sickening sweet?Victoria Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590866904080034328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-42444966009575443892010-04-23T22:30:50.572-05:002010-04-23T22:30:50.572-05:00Now you made me think about all the characters who...Now you made me think about all the characters who pass through my house and I must admit no conversation happens here without at least a beverage and the cookie jar.

They gobble it up because it really is delicious, but they still think it's weird.<br /><br />I can't wait to see their reaction when they find out they're eating baby food!Lee McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388019900085158731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-48361611006862482522010-04-21T12:17:19.757-05:002010-04-21T12:17:19.757-05:00Sorry for any weird formatting issues.
