I can follow my grandmother's recipe for sauerkraut balls precisely, and they still somehow never taste quite as good as they do when she makes them for me.<BR/><BR/>I am also convinced that other people must also feel that way about some of the treats that I make for them--at least, I hope they do. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-66985191615932890522007-12-28T17:43:00.000-08:002007-12-28T17:43:00.000-08:00It's great that you have lots of family -even if l...It's great that you have lots of family -even if living far apart, there's a comfort in knowing that others have known you for a lifetime... sisters really can keep us balanced. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of having biennial sister therapy and I agree, anticipation plays a big part.<BR/><BR/>I liked the C.D.

The real gift is each other's company.<BR/>Although I spiked some egg nog for us (the terrific stuff I had delivered from a local dairy), I can also pass along a killer recipe from Joy of Cooking: a dozen eggs, a pound of powdered sugar, a half-gallon of cream, a fifth of liquor, nutmeg. Add in this order: well-beaten yolks, sugar, liquor and cream, beaten egg whites. Doesn't matter what kind of liquor, because a day or so later you don't even taste it. I haven't made it since the year I gained seven pounds on it alone, but I can verify that it's to die for (literally, I suppose, as well as figuratively).
