Chopped chicken livers on a bagel with a side of fruit salad, or sometimes I stroll down to Papaya king (86th & 3rd Ave)and grab two hot dogs with saeurkraut, then over to Baskin Robbins (2nd Ave.) to finish off with a jamocha almond fudge ice cream cone.

Dinosaur BBQ has fried green tomatoes along with good sausage? I'm off - talk to you later!

Whenever I drove by the Habersett home in Media, PA, I chuckled over the cute little iron pig on their mailbox. They make the best pork scrapple, bar none, in the whole USA. After I moved to CA, whenever I visited Media I would buy it and freeze it to take home on the plane. Now that I'm back in PA, I buy it and freeze it to take to my children in NYC and Virginia. I like it best fried crisp with maple syrup :-)

Always looking for new ways to do brussel sprouts - this one sounds easy and yummy!

I made bourbon balls in the '60s that I boxed and gave for Christmas (like your Mother, the only time of the year that I made them) - everyone loved them, including me. I substituted Grand Marnier one year, and they were really great! But my recipe called for crushed vanilla wafers in addition to cocoa, corn syrup, bourbon (rum, brandy, or whatever), powdered sugar, and finely chopped pecans - no butter as that would have been in the cookie crumbs. I can't imagine what else except crushed cookies would be used as a base for these little gems as they are not baked. You don't taste the cookies crumbs at all, so perhaps you didn't realize they were there in your Mother's recipe (?)
