The progression from childhood snow days to adult ones captures something real. Loved the Danish Dessert detail and that warning about the liquity pie filling had me laughing. There's something about those vintage Farm Journal recipes that assumes you know the tricks already, like everyone back then just understood pies would slosh everywhere.
If you've never had Danish Dessert, find Junket brand. I forgot we used to eat it hot until I saw my sister's photo. It's one of the assumptions I love about old cooking, the knowledge they expected everyone to have because you had to have it to live. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this! Happy snow days to you!
There is something about a snow that seems to alter reality. It can either make you feel like you are on vacation, or ready to tackle some novel project.
I end up feeling both but usually abandon the project to get back into vacation mode....except when you have to go out the next day and it's all ice. That's back to work!
