Hi Kaye,
I hope to make your Grandma's Chess Pie on Saturday to take to my cousin's house on Sunday. Two or three years ago I started to ask people at a message board for Chess Pie recipes. They gave me the link to Recipe dot com. Then I checked a cookbook or two and was still dissatisfied. Then I used Google Alerts to send chess pie recipes to my email box. I have a zillion recipes for Chess Pie. I want to make your Grandma's Chess Pie because it calls for "oleo" which takes me back to my childhood and a neighbor lady who means the world to me. She always said "oleo" instead of "margarine" for recipes because when she learned to bake and cook that is the brand of margarine that her family used. It was not until the 1990's that I learned that Oleo was a brand of margarine, and my memories are that much more fond.
I bet you love your Grandma and all of the love she gave to you with memories and/or her legacies from the kitchen, her heart, what she did for neighbors, family, friends, community, and an undying love no matter what.
If your Grandma is anything like Sue Sanderlin, just one more lucky card in my poker hand, then you have God's gift to help see you through all the trials and tribulations of your life as well as the promise for never ending joy.
Sincerely,
Michele
