Coming home from Phoenix Tuesday night, we were tired and ready to be home. The plane was late and I couldn’t wait to take off and read a new book I had downloaded. We had had such a great time with our kids but…..we were exhausted and ready to go home to our own bed! As soon as Randy and I had settled into our seats, we smiled thinking that maybe just maybe , we would not have anyone come and ask, “is that seat taken!” So here we are up 36,000 feet in the air when the lady sitting next to me begins to share her visit to her 80 year old mom in CA and all the festivities that they had planned to celebrate her birthday! We then began to talk about food (is this a surprise to anyone that I would talk about food?)
She shared a recipe with me that she said sounded weird but promised me that it was the best spaghetti sauce and her mom had been making it for years. When I ask her if she would please share it with me, she gladly did! Well, last night I got some grape jelly and made it. It was indeed very very good and was so glad I had not stuck my nose in a book and ignore this sweet lady! Thank you Sabrina for sharing your treasured old recipe with me! It is delicious and is now a very sweet memory of our plane trip home! I’m posting the picture she sent to me that shows it was written on an old piece of paper! Those recipes seem to always be the good ones!!!

Dear Trudy,
I started crying when I saw this. What a pleasure it was to sit next to the kindest people. Especially special after having to say good bye to our families for now. I am loving your blog!! I finally got the opportunity to sit down to read it. Chocolate Moulton most definitely for the Holidays. Can’t to see what else I find.
Thank you and Randy for the opportunity to meet you both!
Sabrina
