Vintage Quilt

 Another fabulous find by my Kindle DIL. 
Though she sold it already, she admits to feeling sad saying good bye to it so soon. 



 ~~~~ It's even prettier in real life ~~~~
The pink squares are roses--so lovely!

Autograph Books

Tho I have looked at these little books many, many times 
it still makes me smile as I go thru them. 
They belonged to my mom and a time when you remembered people from school
 with words and not selfies or professional class pictures. 
Here is a sampling of what's inside this priceless book.
Enjoy!

Steamed Chocolate Pudding~~AKA Bossie Cow Pudding

We celebrated with family yesterday. 
Father's Day, birthdays, the announcement that that the new grand baby will be a boy, 
early fireworks etc .
What a lovely day.
Of course it's always lovely to be surrounded by people you love.
The birthday request for dessert was a family recipe of mine called Bossie Cow Pudding.
 however it's not for everyone according to my 5 sons. 
Only one of them likes it and I'm not sure what's wrong with the rest of them! 
Tho my smart DIL's and my son's amazing girlfriend love it as much as I do. 
Last night after trying it for the first time Zoe's mom said it was like a chocolate hug! 
Yes it is!

~~~The name~~~
When my dad was very young and his family was having it for dessert he christened it Bossie Cow Pudding. You see, one of the ingredients for the  sauce ( starting to drool ) that is poured over the cake is evaporated milk and since there was a cow on the can of  Pet Milk
 ...ta da ...the name stuck 
I don't make this decadent dessert very often since it's one of those things I could eat ALL day long. 




If you're interested in the recipe let me know. 
I'd be happy to share the "Chocolate Hug" with you!
