Minced Meat Pie and My Famous Mother-in-law

My sister-in-law Liz recently did an amazing post on quince jelly where she was able to make contact with a delightful woman in England who does lots of wonderful recipes and is quite self sufficient with her gardening. Well, Rozanne happened to notice quite a few people wanted to know what to do with their green tomatos. She made the comment with the English Lady about green tomatoes and how she uses them for minced meat pie filling and also told her about her wonderful crumb topping. Well the lady thought that was worth sharing with all her friends in England and then she blogged Rozannes recipe.

 By the way, for my birthday, unrelated to the said events above, I actually requested a minced meat pie and I am telling you it was the best present ever! Yummmmmmm!

The Vintage Blender

My blender recently broke and I asked my mother-in-law if she knew of any way to find replacement parts. She states she doesn’t know where to find replacement parts but happens to have a blender in storage. She brings it over to me and it is soooooooooo old. I look at it and asked if it was hers from her wedding. She replies that it was one she took from her old friend Diana Gardner’s mother’s house when Diana was moving her mom. My question is…..where does she keep all this stuff?
