I have been so greatful for my family and all of the support that I feel from them. I have had 3 jobs in the last 2 years going on now 4. Yes another midlife evaluation. I'm going back to my love of working with kids in dentistry. I received a call about a week ago asking if I would like to get back into dentistry, the offer was to good to pass up. So my family again is excited for me even though they might be thinking, " Oh please can you make up your mind already!!! "
So thanks for your support!
I'm sitting here looking at recipies that my mom had, and on the front of my book is a picture of my mom sticking her tongue out, boy how I miss that! So here goes with some of the things that my mom thought was important to know about having the basics. Yes you can always run out to the store, or can you? If you don't have any unsweetened chocolate? use 3 Tb. unsweetened cocoa plus 1 T. shortening. No vanila extract? flavor a dessert or batter with grated lemon or orange rind and lemon juice or 1/4 t. nutmeg for each vanilla extract it calls for or a dusting of cinnamon. No buttermilk or Sour milk? add 1 T. vinegar or lemon jusice plus enoug fresh milk to make 2 cup and let stand for 5 min. Then finally, no sour cream? get out your cottage cheese, put it in your blender, mix with a little lemon juice, and a small amount of sugar less than a tsp.
Its great adding it to a gravy. Who knows when you might find yourself needing some corn syrup, use 1 cup of sugar pluse 1/4 cup water or liquid called for in the recipe. This has been a great help to me. And for those that don't have the book of grandma Moyes' recipies, let me know, I will get it to you.

Congrats on the new position! That is great. Also thanks for the ideas of substitutions....good to know!! I would love to have a book of Grandma's recipes I don't have one. I am sure glad you are blogging, it is so fun!!
Ditto on what Rach said... I don't have a book either. I loved her recipes, it's amazing how much knowledge she had. If I don't have something I do just run to the store... they really did make do with what they had.
ALso congrats about the job!! That is exciting. It's important that you enjoy your job, so if it takes a few to find it, oh well. :)
This comment is long but I just wanted to say one more thing. It brought such a big smile to my face when you talked about Grandma. She was such a good woman, I think that you are a good product of her legacy. I'm sure glad we have such a good family. Keep em' coming. :)
