BRENDA'S MEATLOAF

2LB. OR 3 LB. Nothing Less Of Ground Chuck
1 Pack of Meatloaf Seasoing Powder, like in a brown gravy pack
1 Small Can Of Tomato Sauce like Hunts
1/2 Green Pepper, Chopped
1 Small Onion, Chopped
2 Eggs Beaten
3 Pieces of Sandwich Bread Tore Up
6 Crackers, crushed
Salt and Pepper, do not add a lot of salt as the seasoning pack has it in it.
1/3 Cup Of Milk
1 Tablespoon of Cooking Oil

Topping:
1/3 Cup Of Brown Sugar or to your liking
1 1/2 Cups Ketchup
Or You Can Just Put Ketchup All Over The Top

In a bowl put the beef, season pack and mix good. Add all of the rest of the ings. Mix good with hands.
Take a piece of alumium foil and put in the bottom of a 9x12 pan. Take the spoonful of oil and pour in the middle of this. Take a paper towel and spread this all over the bottom of the pan as this will keep it from burning. Put the meat loaf in the pan and shape. I do not let mine touch the sides.  Bake on 350 for about a hour covered with sprayed alumium foil. May take longer. Just test it. Pour off the juice. Watch or it will slide out. I use a plastic baster to get it up with and then put the juice in a bowl. That way it want slide out of the pan or you can just dip it out with a spoon.

Make up the topping and pour over it and then bake for about 10 minutes on the bottom shelf. Uncovered. Watch or it will burn easy. If you use the Ketchup as a topping I put mine on when it is half way baked. I still leave it covered until almost done and then I take the foil off. But it will also burn on top easy so just watch it. This is good for a sandwich cold on sandwich bread with mustard on it.

THE ROTTEN EGGS AND THE CHURCH PEOPLE

Years ago when my dad was a young boy they did not have tv's or computers to keep them company and boy were just boys into every thing going and loved to create mischief. This is back when the T-model Fords had came in use and people went to church on Sunday's in wagons or rode a horse. If you were one of the lucky ones you could ride in your Ford. You did not have that many clothes to change into and had to take care of what you did have and no shoes to change into but one pair of Sunday shoes and a pair of work shoes and you had to take care of them also. So your Sunday worship dress and pants was looked upon with pride. It was the best you had and sometime maybe it had patches or little sitches sewed real fine in them.
 This group of boys that my dad ran around with loved to nag the church people as they went to church and to me they treated them terrible.They would see them coming and have a bunch of rotten eggs hid and when they came by in the cars or buggys they would throw them at them and then run. Some of them would hit the ladies in the back and run all down the back of their dresses, hit them on the head and ruin their bonnets and the mens white shirts would have egg all over them. Some would hit the horses and cause them to run.
 Being boys they thought this was something great to do. This went on for a long time and my dad finally got to where he was ashamed to do these people this way as he knew most of them. He knew they worked hard and were good people.
Now how would you feel if you had rotten eggs thrown all over your clothes and in your car or wagon. That smell alone would be enough for me. But to drive a long way and it hot. Get almost to church and then have to go and turn around and go back home and not get to go to church and then have to try to get the eggs out of the clothes and not leave a stain in them was just to much. They could not let it dry and no dought had to go back home and either soak the clothes or get out the wash board and wash them on Sunday. Sunday being their day of rest.
This went on for a long time and my dad finally got to where he was ashamed to do these people this way as he knew most of them. He knew they worked hard and were good people. They lived a long way from church and it took a long time to just get there.
So one day my dad decided to drop in to the church and see what it was all about and just what went on there.
Most people back then did not believe in going to chuch and it was a small church with just a few members. He began to take a interest in what was going on and kept going back. One day something began to happen to him and when it came time for the alter service he went up and got saved. Who do you think was the preacher at that church. The one who he had throwed the eggs at time and time again. Did the preacher forgive him, oh yes he sure did.
Some of the boys that he ran with later on also got saved and became christens. He later became a minister and was one for around 65 years.
I told my dad I cannot believe you ever was mean like that. He was a person that would help anyone in need, never had a harsh word to say to anyone and was one of the most kindest and gentlest people you would ever want to met.
I would have hated to have to try to wash one of those dresses back then. Them being long and most of them were made out of cotton material and you then had to take a iron and heat it on the stove to iron them and the shirts and pants. I saw some of the pictures of my parents back in the old times and their clothes was always ironed so pretty.
 My mom would iron everything . Back in those time they had dollies they would lay around and they would starch even them and do them up. I remember many a time my mom doing this. Starch back then was made out of flour and water. Now can you see yourself trying to iron with flour water and not leaving white streaks all over everything. I sometimes have a time  with spray starch not leaving flakes on clothes let alone using  flour water, I remember how mom woud tell how  they would use to much and the pants would be so stiff they would stand up on their own. Now how could they get in them.That would be like wearing baked pants. lol. I am not jokeing either.

THELMA'S LEMON CAKE

My cousin makes this cake and it is so good. I love to eat the leftover frosting. This makes a big bowl of frosting and most time you will have some left over. Make sure you keep this ref. and it takes a large round cake container with cover for this recipe. I found one at the Family Dollar that is deeper than the regular ones.It will let you make a 4 layer cake and still not touch the top. I think  it was around $8.00.

THELMA'S LEMON CAKE

1 Box of Lemon Cake Mix  , I use the one with the pudding in it
2 Large boxes of Instant Lemon Pudding and Pie Filling, Jello Brand only
1 Medium Cool Whip

Make the cake up using directions for the round pans. Divide up so you will have 3 pans. Spray pan and bake for 30 minutes or what ever it calls for. These will be thiner so watch or they will burn fast on the bottom. Turn out on a cake rack or a piece of parchment paper or sprayed wax paper and let cool.

Frosting:
Mix the pudding up using the directions for the pie filling. Add about 1/2  of the 16oz.Cool Whip.( I think this is the right size) to the pudding mixture.
The mixture will turn a light yellow. This is the color I like to make it. Just add some Cool Whip and keep tasting until you get the right taste.Spread between each layer and on top and sides. Make sure it stays ref.
