Dear Diary,
W. Here.
Laura's family has this wonderful dessert called "Ma Ma's Special" but I have never tasted of it. Just the smell is wonderful, but on our last visit, it was all gone. I reckon dad can be a pig when he wants to be.
Whatever happened to the "prudence" he was always talking about?
All that weekend two weeks ago, I smelled, thought of and dreamed about "Ma Ma's Special".
So when we got out here at the ranch yesterday, I asked Laura if she could fix some.
She said she could and has made it a few times at home but that we were out of eggs.
Well fix it without eggs. I want to try "Ma Ma's Special".
Then she said she had no butter.
So use margarine, I told her. I want some "Ma Ma's Special".
Then it was, "Oh, George, we need more sugar. There's only half of the amount left in the canister. We haven't gone shopping yet."
So make it with half the sugar.
So she made us some "Ma Ma's Special". We had some for supper.
Let me tell you something that I don't want Laura nor her family to ever know, but that stuff was awful! If her Mom has some leftover next time we visit, I gotta think of an excuse to skip that goop!

Located in the vibrant and historic city of Newport on Narragansett Bay, an area of stunning beauty and historical significance, Salve Regina sits on 75 acres in an historic district; preserving the historic character of its buildings has been a reflection of Salve Regina’s commitment to stewardship that is central to the Mercy mission.
At the graduate level, Salve Regina offers a range of interdisciplinary and professional programs built on a foundation of liberal arts and sciences. Currently there are ten masters’ programs with options for concentrations as well as three doctoral programs and specialty graduate certificates.
