What did your Mom always have on hand, that you NEVER do?
what does HFCS stand for? I love Catalina dressing altho I am normally a totally organic freak-we grow almost all our own food and all of our fruit-apples, blackand blueberries, red and black raspberries, strawberries, pears, sour cherries, grapes, etc and I do all of our baking from scratch and bake for my catering customers as well as bake for customers who have gluten allergies. I developed a bread that actually tastes good instead of like cardboard for my celiac/gluten people. But I am addicted to that red catalina-) I make my own vinaigrettes etc and my own 1000 Island and Blue Cheese but can't give up my Kraft Catalina. lol. Does anyone know where 1000 Island Dressing got it's name? The man who built the castle for his wife Louise-he loved her madly-his chef invented it-and the castle is built on one of the Thousand Islands. It sat empty for years after his wife died and he ordered it closed but now you can tour it. Crazy castle. The islands are an archipelago that straddles the US-Canada border in the St. Lawrence river. It's a cool story if you want to look it up. Gorgeous area. Well that's my 42cents for today-)
