Phlip,
	Wow! Wouldn't I love to! Sadly, On my mom's side they've kept
nothing (silly Americans- no value on the past) and on my dad's side, when
Grandma, all 4'10" of that little German Mennonite (born in Ukraine) was
finally so ill as to go to what she termed 'Grandma Jail' (she hated it
there) my Uncle Herman sold all of her cookbooks at a garage sale. When
the sisters found out they nearly killed him. I have 1 recipe, for
Pfeffernuisse. Does anyone have a recipe for 'Plummemousse'? (fruit soup
made with plums and prunes and peaches, etc.)?
