This ALL sounds deeeee-lish, Helen! Think I'll try it this week. I wish Neil liked cole slaw but he doesn't. I love it, but then again, there isn't much I don't like. Can't wait to try the cornbread pudding. I always keep Jiffy mix in the pantry as a staple. Meant to tell you this also...I still use that darling purse that you made a few years ago. The other day I was in a store and this young mom wanted to know where I got my cute handbag. I just smiled and said "My friend made this and gave it to me four years ago. I still love it!" I take care of the things I cherish. Do you remember that particular handbag? Hugs, Jill
