And that's the fun part of making these family favorites: the cooks make the recipes look do simple because they have perfected it. And then we newbies try it and.... But I will persevere!

Which probably means... she's modified it over the years. :-/<br />We've starting to accuse her of the same thing we accused my grandmother of, leaving out secret ingredients when sharing a recipe so it never tastes <i>quite</i> like mom's. Mom did offer a tip, though. She said to cook the sugar, cornstarch, water mixture until it was clear before pulling it off the stove and adding the jello. <br />Thanks for sharing your adventures and cute pics of kids and family. :-) If you decide to do the strawberry pie adventure again, I'll keep my fingers crossed it turns out the way it's supposed to!

I loved the chucky strawberry sauce of Ruthy's (even though I probably did that wrong) and loved the flavor of the strawberry Jello in Clari's (even though I know I did that wrong). <br /><br /> Super tasty!!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-43855850694792139802014-06-14T20:44:46.588-04:002014-06-14T20:44:46.588-04:00Ohhhhh, I've had an ear infection every year o...Ohhhhh, I've had an ear infection every year of my life. Some people are just prone to them. Have you tried a hot compress? Sometimes that would bring some relief to the aching of the sinuses and such. One of my friends swears by this method: alternate hot as you can stand it wet cloths and super cold wet clothes held to the ear (with the head straight so water doesn't get in the ear canal). It makes the ear canal expand and contract, forcing fluid from the ear. It always felt good to me, but I'm not sure it was a cute.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69354865026342831202014-06-14T20:42:36.509-04:002014-06-14T20:42:36.509-04:00Haha!

Love this to pieces. Oy. But I bet it tasted just as good. This is why I hide my pie contents underneath another layer of crust!<br /><br />Love the Very Hungry Caterpillar...what was he made of? Ice cream? And congrats to birthday boy who has a name other than 'baby'.<br /><br />And yay -- a gratuitous pic of a dog. Love the sleeping duo. Can it get any better than that? Well, maybe if you could serve me up some of that pie over the Internet.
