For me, it would have to be lasagna. However we always had home made baked goods around too. I miss her apple and peach pies.
I do know this : it will [not] give measures in cups and tablespoons. It will be handfuls, pinches, and about this much, or that looks/feels about right.
I remember that dishMom's gone, but the dish I always associate with her growing up is tuna noodle casserole with the crumbled potato chip crust on top. I loved it, my dad loved it and there's no fresh ingredients in it whatsoever.
Just tell me it was a benign purchase. Not a birthday or anniversary.My wife makes great soups . . .
I went out and bought her a restaurant size/quality soup pot so I could get larger batches from her

I will now, thanks to YOU! have to be NICE to my lovely War Department for not one, but TWO awesome sounding recipes! Thanks a lot dude.Stumpot . . . basically, it is a blend of carrots, onions, and potatoes (25/25/50). Boiled until ready to be mashed. Mash it only to blend everything, not turn it into a puree. you want it "chunky".
Cook a large sausage with it, and make a beef gravy to pour over top. Delicious, and hearty on a cold winter evening.
The other is a sweet treat called Olle Bolle (sp?). It is basically a dough with raisins or currants mixed in which is deep fried to a golden brown. Served warm, you break it open and dunk it on a plate covered in icing sugar. My memories of this as a child are so strong, I refuse to allow my wife to try and make them. I do not want to risk the memories in my head, for good or ill.
Amen!Benign . . . birthdays and anniversaries call for quality gifts, like a vacuum, or dust mop.
