I've been asked, in other venues, for this recipe again, because people can't find it. I thought I ought to post it again, and put a permanent link at the top of the page, so people can always find it.

Oh, and by calling it "world's greatest" custard pie, you should realize that I don't think there's any such thing a as really had bad custard pie recipe.

World's Greatest Custard Pie

2 cups whole milk
1 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Dash salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Beat until sugar is dissolved, pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees in preheated oven for 45 minutes.

My brother- and sister-in-law weren't very happy when Blondie decided to marry me. My first wife had died, and I was disabled, and if Blondie was going to marry this late in life, she surely could have come up with someone better than me.

Sis had four kids, and three of them had wonderful husbands or wives, with great houses in upscale neighborhoods. The fourth, the youngest, had jettisoned her husband, but she had always been sort of a flibber-de-gibbet, and it appeared that she was about to marry a well-off guy. Brother had two kids, and not only had he married into a high-prestige family, but his son had already married well, and his daughter was engaged.

Things didn't go well with her family. I didn't want a big wedding, nor did Blondie, but when Sis insisted, Blondie agreed that we'd marry in Sis's church.

They Don't Like Traditional Music

I resolved a year ago, that this year, I wouldn't be doing any of those year-end roundups, nor any new year's resolution posts.

And I almost succeeded, until I realized that this post, announcing success, would mean that I'd failed.

Oops.

"I love learning new things in my pajamas, and I'm not the only one," says the cute babe on the Education Connection commercial, currently in rotation on the Independent Film Channel.

And who else, ma'am, is it that loves to learn things in your pajamas?

(Yes, this is the babe. Photo from their website.)

I can't remember what city it was in, but it was in a department store restaurant that I was first exposed to Welsh Rarebit. It took me about 10 seconds to realize that this was the "Welsh rabbit" I'd heard of before. It sounded like it would be a little exotic and a bit savory, and goodness knows, it was one of those bland days when I could have used something savory, or even a bit gamey, in my life.

The more I think about it, the more I have the impression it was in a Lazarus department store, in Indianapolis. That doesn't make sense to me. I patronized the bar in their Castleton Square store almost daily for a period of months in 1974, but I can't recall that there even was a restaurant in that store, although I suppose there must have been. Maybe it was an L. S. Ayres store, instead?

A Promising Disappointment
