"Vintage" Chocolate Pudding....Sunny....50's
One of our family favorites...................
Here's one of my Mom's recipes, at least 50 years old. You can see how much it's been used.
Isn't her handwriting lovely? She and her sisters had such pretty flowing script, back in the day when handwriting was still emphasized in school!
6 T. cornstarch
1/2 cup cocoa
few grains of salt
1 cup sugar
1 quart milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Here's the procedure ------------Mix sugar ( I reduce to 2/3 cup) cornstarch and cocoa in a heavy
bottom pan. Add milk while stirring over medium heat.
Continue to stir until thickened and just starts to bubble.
If you have to answer the phone, the door, or check Facebook remove from heat, it will catch on bottom and burn! Add vanilla, pour into bowl, cover with plastic and let cool or chill in refrigerator.
Says feeds 6, but not at my house!

IN THEORY.....Sunny...37*
If I lived in THEORY my house would be cleaner in winter, because I can't work outside. It isn't!
If I lived in THEORY I wouldn't be looking at seed & chick catalogs, because I would remember all the failures, from years gone by. I don't!
If I lived in THEORY, my theory of staying strong and active by working hard would have kept me strong and active. It didn't!
And in THEORY my ''get up and go" would not
have 'got up and went'. IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have 'got up and went'. IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snippets & Snatches.....cloudy...40*
It's been COLD, so thought I'd take off my outside shoes and put these slippers on and look through this catalog I've never seen before. (How did they find me?)
Well while I was busy Marmalade claimed them for
herself. Isn't that a contented look?

Weather....Cold...icy...more to come...
Beautiful to behold
But I must be getting old
Because a sense of dread has taken hold
Looking at the ice
Knowing I can't get off the porch
Even the picture doesn't seem nice
Waiting for the sun
Know chores must be done
Guilty feelings about the outside community
I hate to admit it
But there's no denying that
A Fair Weather farmer, is what I've become

She's not supposed to go in the living
room, she has a nice bed in another part of the house, but when it's 10* out who can resist backing up to the woodstove?

Snippets & Snatches.....Sunny....still..50*
I've heard Procrastination is the Thief of Time, well 40 years
have gone by since I started this shirt for a family member!!!!!!!
That's before my Grandchildren were born---Before my Daughter was born--Before we moved across country---As you can see from the first picture, I got as far as cutting it out and starting to pin it together before it got set aside and then packed away.............At least the family member never knew it had been started so will still be surprised to receive it.I bought the cloth and pattern at the Exeter Handkerchief Factory in Exeter, N.H. They have been in business since the 1930's and still are.
My Mom went there regularly for her sewing fabrics.
Now my daughter who enjoys sewing, as I never did, is finishing it for me.
My Mom WAS the seamstress, as well as her two sisters. One sister worked for a French Dressmaker, as a teenager, and made fine beaded gowns.
Anyway when the acorn fell from my mother's tree, it bounced quite a ways, and skipped to the next generation, to my daughter, who makes all the lovely things you see posted. And even though I did enjoy knitting in my younger days my daughter never did pick it up in spite of several tries through the years, but my Granddaughter decided last year she was going to teach herself to knit, and has taken to it like the proverbial duck to water, so another bounce of the acorn from generation to generation.........at least the old timey ways are being kept alive in our family, by one or the other :)

Thank you very much to Joanne Perron and Jonquil Junction for making this fun by providing one of her reversible aprons as a prize to the winner of the contest. Guys, this contest is for you too, you can win big points by giving this cute apron to the wife or girlfriend.
Raise your yolk covered hand if you have ever forgotten that egg you put in your pocket! You know who you are.
Jonquil Junction has the perfect solution! Its an Gathering/EGG apron. This reversible apron is like getting two aprons in one! Whether you are gathering eggs, veggies, clothes off the line, tools for your next farm, garden or craft project, or are simply gathering your thoughts so as not to forget them later on, this is the apron for you! Completely reversible, this apron has individual pockets for a dozen eggs on one side, with elastic at the top to hold them securely. On the other, a large pocket ( practically the size of the apron itself!) with access from either side with two large openings, to hold veggies, tools, clothes or clothes pins, whatever you need to tote with you! (don’t forget to tuck in a pen and paper so you can remember what you need to bring with you! ) Apron measures 15 1/2 inches from waist to bottom, 22 inches wide at bottom and has generous ties!

PRIZE:
Thank you very much to Joanne Perron and Jonquil Junction for making this fun by providing one of her reversible aprons as a prize to the winner of the contest. Guys, this contest is for you too, you can win big points by giving this cute apron to the wife or girlfriend.
Raise your yolk covered hand if you have ever forgotten that egg you put in your pocket! You know who you are.
Jonquil Junction has the perfect solution! Its an Gathering/EGG apron. This reversible apron is like getting two aprons in one! Whether you are gathering eggs, veggies, clothes off the line, tools for your next farm, garden or craft project, or are simply gathering your thoughts so as not to forget them later on, this is the apron for you! Completely reversible, this apron has individual pockets for a dozen eggs on one side, with elastic at the top to hold them securely. On the other, a large pocket ( practically the size of the apron itself!) with access from either side with two large openings, to hold veggies, tools, clothes or clothes pins, whatever you need to tote with you! (don’t forget to tuck in a pen and paper so you can remember what you need to bring with you! ) Apron measures 15 1/2 inches from waist to bottom, 22 inches wide at bottom and has generous ties!
