For Lucy in Kentucky, who requested a butterscotch pie. My mother-in-law was famous for her butterscotch pies. This recipe comes close to the way I remember her making them. I believe this recipe came from a 2005 newsletter.

Butterscotch Pie
1/2 C. butter or oleo
1 C. water
2 egg yolks
1 C. brown sugar
2-1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1-1/2 C. milk

Brown butter in medium sized pan. Add sugar and cook together, stirring constantly until sugar is melted. Add water and stir slowly until sugar is completely dissolved. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, egg yolks and milk. Mix thoroughly and add to sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Pour into a baked pie shell. Nice with cool whip or whipped cream.

Also, I want to thank the person who wrote in about the bluebells of Texas. Sad to say, I didn't get to make the trip this year, although I could almost visualize them from her description.

Last year I wrote about my walnut tree that didn't leaf out and asked for information. I'm so glad I listened to the lady who said to wait and see if it was just "resting". Sure enough, this year it is doing nicely even though we've had a tough Spring, with a late freeze. I don't know what I ever did before I happened onto this Newsletter! It's such a wonderful source of comfort, information and inspiration. Good recipes too!

Nancy, I'm sending this little poem that I find so amusing. It's an old poem but makes me laugh every time I read it. If you don't have space for it, that's fine. Doris, S. Indiana

I didn't have potatoes, so I substituted rice,
I didn't have paprika, so I used another spice,
I didn't have tomato sauce, so I used tomato paste,
a whole can, not half - I don't believe in waste.
My friend gave me this recipe,
She said, "You cannot beat it!"
here must be something wrong with her -
I can't even eat it!!
