| There has often been confusion over the word "PAP". Some individuals call infant cereal = pablum, pap, but a true pap is a custard type dish that is rich in flavor. Pap is a stirred custard, also known as soft custard, custard sauce or, erroneously, boiled custard, is cooked on top of the stove and stirred to a creamy, but pourable, consistency. It includes custards made with or without starch, such as flour or cornstarch. The ingredients include whole eggs as well as egg yolks used to add body and richness. Not yet rated |
| Rum Cake | In Memory of Ida Legnion by Sheryle Guillory |
My grandmother's favorite cake, of mine. Almost everyone loves this cake. Not too sweet and freezes well. I've used this recipe to raise money for many fund raisers. This cake is better the next day, so make ahead if you can. It also freezes well, so have one on hand to bring to a sick friend or just to cheer someone up! Bon Apetit!

| This recipe has an interesting story behind it. MawMaw first ate this dessert at a get together to celebrate the visit of the author's brother-in-law on leave from Iraq. It was the hit of the evening. The author tells us her best friend won a blue ribbon for this dessert. MawMaw gets the recipe and makes the dessert and goes to Holly Beach for a weekend of fun. One of her friends declares it the best dish prepared for the weekend. Here we go, it wins again. The friend then gets his Mom's recipes to submit to the website and finds his Mom had that same recipe also under a differnt name. Then MawMaw's mother-in-law gives her all her mother's recipes in an old recipe box. Her Mom lived until the age of 99. You guessed it - this same recipe was in my treasured recipe box! We also found that it mimicks Bayou Goo - Bayou Goo is a pecan crust with a layer of sweet cream cheese, then a layer of vanilla custard swirled with chocolate chunks and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

| Fun stuff on the coconut from http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/c/co/coconut.htm - All parts of the coconut palm are useful, and the trees have a comparatively high yield (up to 75 "nuts" per year); it therefore has significant economic value.

| The name speaks for itself. Baker's hint - before pouring the batter into the pie shell, baste shell with beaten egg white. It will help prevent a soggy crust. Not yet rated |
