wehadariverboatinourlivingroom:Lemon Sponge Pie I found a recipe for Lemon Sponge Pie tucked into my Grandmother D’s wallet. It is jotted on a receipt from the M O'Neil Company, which was one of the two largest downtown department stores in Akron, Ohio (the other major department store being Polsky’s). Both stores had large plate glass windows in which large moving Christmas displays were unveiled each year on Thanksgiving night. When Grandma was in her late 70’s, she and Mother (in her 40’s) were shopping here. They were on an escalator when Grandma suddenly reached over and grabbed Mother’s hand. Mother gave her a startled glance and saw Grandma pointing to a sign. It said “Please, hold your child’s hand.“ I have included a picture of Grandma’s wallet and her charge card. The card was for three downtown stores. The original charge cards were metal plates, but this one is plastic, probably because Grandma obtained it in her own name after Grandpa’s death. The china in the picture was passed on to me from my sister. The pie is subtle- not so sweet as I expected. I prepared it just as set out in the recipe. I can’t call it ‘Grandma’s Lemon Sponge Pie’ because I can’t guarantee that she ever made it. I know she liked it though, or why would she have copied the recipe? -- source link
