I think that is so nice that you are going to sew a purse for each one of your two daughters. I love to sew..I have been sewing since I was about 6 years old..my grandmother, who loved to sew also, she use to make me sew many of my own clothing..mostly shirts, dresses, and slacks. She use to brag that this is a great skill to learn, since if times get financially difficult, you can always be glad to have a sewing skill, and make your own clothing..lol. She is right, and I am so proud she taught me..when I got older, sometimes I would make wedding gowns, brides maid dresses, and beautiful work suits (men and women)..also made bathing suits. I worked at two jobs that required good sewing skills, one job was located in Johnstown, Penna., it was called, Bestform. It was one of the main 'Bestform' factories..they specialized in sewing bathing suits and pajama's and women's under ware. I ran a commercialized sewing machine, which are made out of solid steel and can be dangerous, since they go extremely fast, and if we are not careful, our hands can either get the needle ran over, or the wheel of the machine could cut off hands or wrists..so we had to always remember to keep our left hand on our laps while our right hand operated to get the machine running (carefully). The other sewing job was working in the 'French Room' at our local Stone and Thomas store..it was an elegant and very expensive shop where we sized, patterned, cut out selected materials, and sew up wedding gowns and bride maid gowns for weddings. We also made the wedding veils..I loved this job, since it taught me so much, and was an added educational experience for my years of sewing. I also love to hand knit sweaters too. I began taking knitting classes, and could not stop after my first class..they are creative and very fun, but the sweaters take a very long time to complete.
You also sound like you are a very busy person, but you also must have a lot of energy..such a blessing! I try to exercise, because this gives me energy too, and I need the extra boost of energy, especially since I have hythyrodism (inherited in my family). I just simply take a pill every day for it, but it is not enough, maybe because it is a synthetic pill giving me the metabolism needed for every day living, but, that is why I need to exercise every day to get more energy. I feel much more better exercising only for the needed energy, than I do for the way it firms me up.
You requested where I use to live in Pennsylvania...after my husband and myself were married in 1979, we moved from WVa to Somerset county...it was a very small town called Windber (located beside Johnstown or Bedford). At first we lived in Somerset Penna, where both my sons were born, and then we relocated to Windber, Penna. Both towns are located in Somerset county.
We lived in Windber for about 15 or more years before we moved to Florida. Our sons grew up in Windber and really missed having to leave all their friends..I felt so sorry for them, but my husband had been transferred to Florida due to his job reasons.
Also, I don't remember mentioning about putting salt over the Butterscotch regarding Sticky Buns recipe, but I do remember making Kim B's Caramel and salt pudding..wow, is that a delicious recipe! The salt on the homemade Caramel is absolutely delicious, just like old fashion salted Caramel..but I found out that I had to just sprinkle a tiny bit of salt, or else it would have been too salty tasting, and I usually love loads of salt. Here is Kim's Butterscotch pudding recipe link..also, I just noticed she has my picture of the Butterscotch pudding's that I made using my Temptations 8 ounce bake ware..I love Temptations bake ware! Here is her link..I highly recommend this too!
Salted Butterscotch Pudding
Thank you Anna for letting me know that it turned out to be false regarding the baby carrots! I did not read about it though, but so glad to know that it is safe to consume the baby carrots. I know you meant well, so don't feel bad, and I really appreciate it that you wrote a note about the negativity of consuming them, since it shows you care for everyone, and I appreciate it! But, I know that anything with chlorine can be very bad for us if we consume it, due to the chlorine little by little getting on our organs and causing them to eventually inflate, because the chlorine causes anything to suffocate..so the organs end up becoming inflamed. For example, if we get chlorine on our hands, try washing it off, since it will not come off our hands very easily once on..imagine our internal organs. I have heard that Splenda has chlorine..we use to be hugh fans of Splenda, but my husband, who used it on an every day basis, actually did get an inflated abdomen, and after seeing that, I quickly decided to stop purchasing Splenda, before it was too late, but he is much better now that we no longer use it. Presently, if I use any natural sweetener, it is either pure sugar cane or honey, but in moderation. But, so glad that it is false regarding baby carrots, since I recently purchased two 3 pound bags of them, due to planning on making another one of Kim's recipes called, 'Piccadilly's carrot souffle'. We go to our local Piccadilly restaurant, and love their famous carrot souffle, so have to make this recipe! Here is the link for that one too:

It is so nice talking with you...enjoy your show! I love watching American Idol and also X Factor..also love watching Investigative Discovery Channel.
Much Love,

I had so many things planned for today and didn't get very far. I wanna sew two purses, one for each of our two daughters for Mothers' Day, and didn't even get started. Oi yoi. Maybe tomorrow. I had several phone calls that took some time, then I cooked 3 times today, sprayed my rose bushes to retard the rabbits from eating them, and I don't know what else, but not what I needed to do. Now Dancing with the Stars is on and of course I have to watch.
Where in Pennsylvania did you tell me you used to live? I forgot. If I remember a little, it wasn't near this side of the state, but I'm not sure.
You talk about adding salt to the sticky buns?????? I've never tried that. What does it do to the carmel? I'm half afraid to try it.
Wow, there's trouble in the government -- Oh my gosh--!!! Then the trial of the abortion doctor in Phillie, and then that other trial of the girl that murdered her boyfriend. Holy cow!! What is this world coming to? Seems people don't know how to act anymore. I just put it all in Gods hands and am letting Him handle it because we don't seem to be able to get any truthful answers.
BTW--did you see the comment I posted today about the baby carrots? The other day someone posted a story about the carrots being sprayed with I think it was chlorine or something that would cause big problems for us if we eat them. Well-----I saw it on the news yesterday that that story was TOTALLY FALSE and that the carrots are SAFE to eat. Just wanted to let you know.
Well, I will talk to you again maybe tomorrow sometime, if I break away from the sewing machine for awhile. LOL LOL
Much love,
Anna Mae ♥ ♥ :)
Also, thank you so much for the information about Rose Mary's cookbook. I will be purchasing it, since it does sound very good, and I find it a rare treasure when others share their special recipes. Also, I love it that her cookbook has nearly 800 recipes, and have ordinary items too! I will take your word for the other Cook and Serve pudding mixes and stick to Butterscotch, since is one of my favorite flavors, and also I love the warm and buttery taste it gives the buns.
Thank you so much for all your information regarding the book and the Sticky Bun recipe!
Much Love to you too Anna Mae! Brenda
I used the vanilla flavor and also chocolate and also banana cream flavor of the Cook and Serve pudding mix in the sticky buns, and each time I say--uh uh. Nope, I'm going back to the butterscotch. But I know how it feels to want to go discovering the different flavors--maybe you'll like it.
I am enjoying conversing with you Brenda, you are a very special person. Seems I've discovered we share a lot of the same ideas and this I love. I surely hope we can stay friends forever. So nice are your notes!!
I hope you enjoy your Sunday.
Much love,
Anna Mae ♥ ♥
You just made my night!!! Thank you so so much for the beautiful message you sent me. Yes I wish you were my neighbor--we'd have a blast cooking up a storm. We could make some good ole' comfort food casseroles and give it to the widowed ladies who live nearby or else we could share it with each other. Do you like soups? I make a mean vegetable soup. One of these days I'll post it on JAP but when I'm on there I forget about it. Duhhh!!! So why don't you move next door to me and we will get together??? Gotta make some of Rose Mary Mogan's recipes from her cookbook. Boy, she got some dandy's in it!! I made her Cream Cheese/Sour Cream Pound Cake and OMG I think it's absolutely the best cake I EVER ATE. Look it up, it's on JAP. I changed the extracts tho. I used 1 tsp. almond and 1 tsp cinnamon extract and I greased and sugared the pan, then just sprinkled it with powdered sugar. YUM YUM. It is sooooo good I can't tell you it's any different. Give it a try.
Just like Mr. Rodgers used to say--Won't you be my neighbor????? lol lol
Love you right back Brenda--
Anna Mae ♥ ♥ XOXO
The other day, I took a batch over to a new neighbor. The woman wasn't home. Well, they stopped by yesterday to say hello, and she said when she got home her husband was eating the buns and she asked "Where did he get those (with great big eyes)? He told me, he didn't think I got to my door when he had a big ole' glass of milk and a sticky bun. I think everyone and their brother (LOL) loves these sticky buns.
I just got a cookbook from Rose Mary Mogal from JAP. She put it together herself. OMG it is fabulous !! There are almost 800 recipes in it. What a cook she is!! Wow! And a real sweetheart. It is worth every penny.
I am so happy you left me know about the recipe Brenda. I'm only sorry it took me this long and another posting for me to respond to you. Please accept my apology. I didn't mean to slight you in any way.
Much love,
Anna Mae ♥ ♥
