A few excerpts from the internet over the past month:
>My grandmother use to make a moist corn bread made with creamed corn as
>well as corn meal. My family has not found a written record of the
>recipe, nor can remember the recipe themselves.
>my mother use to bake choc,cake she never did tell me how to make before
>she die.
>Some Norwegian I am! I'm not sure I even spelling that right. Anyway, my
>Grandmother gave me a set of "sandbakkel" molds before she passed away. By
>the time she gave them to me, she was too old to remember the recipe. My
>mother does not have the recipe and I haven't been able to find one --
>short of buying a cookbook just to get one recipe!
>My Grandmother used to make wonderful buns with cottage cheese from
>which she had drained all the moisture, mixed with eggs, sugar and dill.
>This was placed on a square of dough, and the 4 corners were drawn to
>the middle so that some of the cottage cheese still showed. I've been
>trying to reproduce these buns for years. Has anyone ever heard of
>this?
Wake up, people! Document! Ask your relatives for their recipes now!
