THE SALAD-from MAY LAVERTY KORTE

      This past week I made a jello  salad that my mother prepared on several occasions. It was one of my favorites and learned to make it several years ago after her passing so I could continue to enjoy it for many years to come.  I found it originally in an old Laurel cookbook that she simply named THE SALAD.

     I mentioned this to a dear classmate of mine, Donna Ingraham on a recent telephone visit. She indicated that some food items that were prepared by our mothers were referred to as funeral items. I had not heard of that description, but, as a guy probably wouldn't have or if so didn't pay attention. Checking with my sister, she thought it more as a Christmas Salad.

      No matter, it is a good jello salad and I'm glad I know how to make and enjoy it from time to time.
