Anita and I graduated from high school 57 years ago. Recently at a garage sale I bought some cook books and this recipe of hers was in one of them. I got in touch with her and she was surprised I had found the cookbook. I have not made it, but I plan on it.

Harry wants me to make this. You can buy lemon curd but I saw it being made on Nate Berkus the other day. Sure is easy enough to do at home. LEMON COCONUT POKE CAKE (Taste and Tell) 1 (16.25-oz) white cake mix 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (15-oz) cream of coconut (usually found with the drink mixers) 2 cups lemon curd 1 (16-oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip) 2 cups sweetened coconut Prepare the cake according to package directions. While still hot, poke holes through the top of the cake with a skewer. In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut. Pour over the warm cake. When the cake has cooled, spread the lemon curd over the top of the cake. If not serving right away, refrigerate. When ready to serve, top with the Cool Whip and then sprinkle with coconut. LEMON CURD (Nate Berkus website) 3/4 cup granulated sugar Grated rind and juice (1/3 cup) of 2 lemons 1/2 cup butter 3 eggs, beaten Put all ingredients in the top of a double boiler, over hot water. Stir until mixture is well blended and begins to thicken. This takes only a few minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal, or into scrupulously cleaned jars for refrigeration or freezing. Makes 1-3/4 cups

Oh Sue--I was craving rhubarb yesterday. I wanted a rhubarb and strawberry pie!! Won't be long before it'll be ready to pick up there. I'm also wanting chocolate so I bought the stuff to make this sheet cake this week. It's more like a brownie, but whatever it is, it sure is good. My sister's MIL gave me the recipe years ago. Chocolate Sheet Cake 1 c. sugar 4 eggs 1/8 tsp. salt 1 c. + 1 Tbsp. flour 1/2 c. butter, softened 1-16 oz. can Hershey's syrup Cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating until smooth. Add salt and blend in flour and syrup. Pour into a greased 10x15" cookie pan. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Frosting: (the good part) 1-1/2 c. sugar 6 Tbsp. milk 6 Tbsp. butter 1/2 c. chocolate chps 1 c. nuts Bring sugar, butter and milk to a boil and boil for minute. Remove from heat and add chips and nuts. Stir until chips melt. Spread on cake while it's still warm. Work fast--it gets hard quickly. If that happens add a little milk.

Wish I had some of your cookies, Nodakgal! MARSHMALLOW PIE (Just Everyday Me) Crust: 10 chocolate graham crackers (5in by 2.5 in each) 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted 5-6 tablespoons butter, melted Filling: 34 large marshmallows 1/2 cup milk (I used 2%) 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, grated Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional) Preheat oven to 375. Prepare chocolate coconut crust: Break graham crackers into crumbs, either by using a food processor or by placing them in a large plastic bag and beating them with a mallet (I prefer the second method) Toast the coconut either by placing the coconut on a cookie sheet and putting it in your oven on broil (be careful because it will burn quickly!) or by putting it in a skillet on medium heat and using a spatula to toss it around until golden brown. In a 9-inch pie plate, mix coconut and graham cracker crumbs together. Add the melted butter and use hands to press mixture on the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. While crust is cooling, prepare the marshmallow filling. In a large saucepan or skillet, heat marshmallows and milk over low heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove saucepan from heat and cool the mixture completely, about 30 minutes. When the marshmallow mixture and graham cracker crust is cool, beat the cream in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Stir the marshmallow mixture, making sure it is still smooth and doesnÃ¯Â¿Â½t have lumps. Fold the mixture into the whipped cream. Fold in the grated chocolate. Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Refrigerate pie at least 3 hours, or overnight.

I planned to buy some rhubarb yesterday and Meijer didn't have any and I forgot to look while in Walmart. Amber will be having some one of these days and then I can get all I can use. Your rhubarb recipe sounds good.

Oat-Fashioned Strawberry Dessert

4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 Â¼ cups whole wheat flour
1 Â¼ cups quick-cooking oats
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
Â¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cold butter
2 tablespoons sugar
Â¼ to Â½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Drain strawberries on paper towels; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 Â½ cups for topping. Pat remaining crumb mixture into a greased 9-inch square baking pan.

In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; stir in strawberries. Spoon over the prepared crust. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

I love this recipe. It's great for when you buy strawberries that turn out to be not that great when you taste them since they are still good in this recipe if they aren't very sweet. I brought this in for the guys at work on Monday and it was a bit hit. I only brought it in because I knew if it stayed at home I would have eaten almost all of it myself. It's great warm with ice cream.
