Synopsis9:00 a.m.! Hazel must have the coffee perking by now. Jeanne and her mom head up the road to savor the first cup out of the pot, part of a daily ritual. One could not sit at Hazel Larson's kitchen table without laughing. Appropriately, Jeanne's mother, Bernice Larson, first met her new sister-in-law at that table. She was taught the ways of "country life" by Hazel, and their friendship would last a lifetime. Not unexpectedly, they are joined by various neighbors and friends. Soon laughter is filling the room. Current events are bantered about mixed in with a little gossip. Stories and memories of the past are relived and remembered so they could be passed down to future generations. Everyone who sat at Hazel's kitchen table left a small piece of their lives there. Amid all the commotion, there was always food -- food, which remembered now, brings comfort and joy. The recipes include everything from Swedish Pancakes and fish boils at Nor-Ski Ridge to Jeanne's mother's famous birthday cake. Each recipe contains a slice of life that refuses to be forgotten. Although Hazel and Jeanne's mother are no longer with us, the memories are worth revisiting. The little neighborhood called Appleport in Door County, Wisconsin, still has a special appeal. The people who sat at that table will never forget the laughter, wisdom and comfort experienced there. Book jacket.
