This is How Good a Cook My Mom Was

Tweet

When I was about nine years old my mother remarried and we moved to Pocatello from Boise, Idaho. She became a member of a group of women who got together each week to play Pinnochle. The woman who hosted the get-together would also serve as something for them to enjoy in between games. My mother had $60 a month(this was in the early 60's)for groceries. She fed the four of us( I had a stepbrother) very well plus always had a fine creation to serve the ladies when it was her turn to host. One time I remember she fixed a grape parfait creation. It was made from my grandmother's canned Concord grape juice. This tasty perfection was a real hit and my mom got rave reviews. The women loved it!
