Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

A Typical "Club" Salad - Shrimp Salad (4)

This shrimp salad was attributed to Mother's good friend Lois - one of the club ladies. I must say, they certainly didn't seem to be weight-watchers. With the combination of whipping cream and mayonnaise, this is a really rich salad, but very good. I made it to give to Marian and Nolan - he loved it!

SHRIMP SALAD (4)
1 large pkg. lemon jello
2 cups hot H2O
Pinch salt
Let set partly, then whip. Fold in:
2 tbsp. finely chopped onions
4 cups finely chopped celery
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 lb. mild cheddar cheese finely grated
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cans shrimp
Let set in 9x13 dish. Serves 12.
