Granny Robert's So Good Meals

I have in my possession a collection of recipes that my great-grandmother began about 100 years ago. It was passed down to her daughter... my paternal grandmother (b.1899), and then on to my aunt (b. ca. 1921). It's pages are filled with handwritten recipes, newspaper & magazine clippings, and other recipes written in the handwriting of neighbors, friends and family. I will be sharing it's contents here, in my great-Granny Robert's So Good Meals blog.

Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'

The Bennets

Taking a cue from Zelie I've decided to rename my kids after the five daughters in one of my favorite literary works "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Henceforth my five daughters shall be known as Jane, Elizabeth "Lizzy", Mary, Catherine "Kitty", and Lydia. It will be a bit confusing for me at first, as our Elisabeth will not be Elizabeth. ;o) But it will be fun. I've always had a hard time giving my youngest three clever names, and now this will solve the problem. I will change their names in the side bar later.
