If my mother were alive she would be over 100. Actually he was very upset because he couldn't make it to 100. he was a fabulous golfer...my mom walked 3 miles a day because the Dr. Told her she had osteoarthritis because of having a total hysterectomy when I was in high school.I am 63 now and she was probably 33 when she had me- the baby that would kill her! Isn't this really the way life goes?
My Mom's fuLl name was Berneicium Clodi- Abblett. Unfortunately she was of coarse Catholic..Irish married to a full-blooded Frenchman so she said.but according to my Irish twin cousins in Cabery Illinois she was about as French as they were and they were O'Briens you know we never got the truth out of her!
This lady could cook like no one else! She had cooked for 14 everyday of her life...the girls always were to take care of the boys ...get their ponies hitched up...get their. Logged ready...get their meals ready! So here's one of my mom's best simple recipes:
Raisin Pie ( this was my favorite pie of my mother's)
One box of raisins
One cup water
Cornstarch
Double pie crusts
Stew raisins in a pot with water till soft ( could use calvados or brandy),and add cornstarch while still liquid.let sit til set off the heat.prepare crusts..add filling..vent top crusts..my mom did slits crosswise like an Indian. Bake at 425 degrees for one hour.test for doneness by seeing juices free- flowing andvreduced bubbling.
Remove from oven and cool til serve.enjoy because my Mother said these the raisins where full of niacin..tastes the best.
