   ----   
      
   Last week Marjorie K asked : "As a little girl in the 40's, I remember my   
   mother making stewed pears that were then baked with something crispy on them   
   and it was incredibly buttery and delicious. She would give it to us as a   
   special treat.  Does that ring any bells with anyone?  Thanks, Marjorie K."   
      
   Joan replied: "I remember having those stewed pears too!  Especially in the   
   winter, my mother would give them to us after we came in from playing outside   
   in the cold weather.  I think this is the recipe":   
      
   BAKED PEARS   
   1 No.  2 1/2 can Pears   
   Cornflakes or Rice Krispies   
   Butter and Brown Sugar   
      
   DIRECTIONS:   
      
   Crush cereal and roll drained Pears in it.  Place cut side up in a baking   
   dish.  Fill center with brown sugar and dot with butter.  Add enough pear   
   syrup to keep from burning.  Bake at 375 F.  until browned.  Serve warm or   
   chilled CÇö plain or with cream.   
      
   10. A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   "Growing up in North Carolina my best friend's mom used to make the most   
   delicious chocolate filled angel food cake.  The filling was my favorite part   
   and she would even frost the outside of the cake.  The filling was   
   mousse-like.  Even if I were to try and make my own filling, I have no idea   
   how she filled it the way she did.  So if this sounds familiar to anyone, and   
   if they could tell me how to fill the cake I would love to try and make it.    
   Thanks so much!  Beverly J."   
      
   As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from   
   their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help   
   people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.

   phil@bignews.biz and we might just publish it here.
