How easy is that?! I am making this recipe today for my Grandmother. Today is her birthday and I can't think of a better way to remember and honor her than making something sweet from her recipe box. To give you an idea of how old this recipe is, on the recipe card next to the "1 graham cracker pie shell" it says "I buy the 39 cent ones at the store". How long has it been since a graham cracker crust was 39 cents? How long has it been since you could get anything at the store for 39 cents?
As you know she loved sweets! She would rather have an ice cream float for dinner instead of a complete meal. Who wouldn't? I'm trying to eat healthy these days but I am for sure going to have a piece of this pie. If only I had inherited her metabolism. She could eat sweets all day and still stay thin. I can just think of something sweet and gain weight! Anyhow, here is to my Grandmother, a wonderful, sweet and loving lady who I miss dearly! Happy Birthday!P.S. Yes, that's me in the clown suit. Hard to decide if the smile on Grandmother's face is from delight or embarrassment. :)
