where creative minds can interact
This is my response to the My Favorite Dessert Creative Writing Challenge
My absolute favorite dessert is a raisin-nut pie that my mother used to make and now my son makes for family holiday dinners (all two of them). It's made with raisins, walnuts, Karo syrup and I don't know what else, other than it gives me 10 lbs. and 2 cavities per slice. The reason I love it so much goes back to my 7th birthday. My mother made me a gorgeous cake, a white cat sleeping on a pink pillow. My birthday falls around Thanksgiving so I had to take my cake up to my grandmother's and there were so many people that I never got one bite of this gorgeous cake. I was heartbroken. So my mother started making the raisin-nut pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and only she, one uncle & I were allowed to have any. Every bite brings back memories of my mother, and how much I miss her.

awwww, Robin. that's sweet. i miss my mom too. and you made me think about my mom making special things for me too. my mom was a super duper cook, but i didn't always like the exotic things. but sometimes she would make a pizza from scratch just for me that was out of this world delicious. but special because it was just for me. thanks for sharing, robin. please add a pic or else i do. if i do it before you do, then feel free to change it.
