Not sure how I will arrange them (though not like in the photo as I've just noticed the shoo-fly and the churn dash next to each other and that doesn't really work).
Other legacy items abounded: A shoo-fly fan hung over the table with its cord leading to an empty corner, as if waiting for the young slave who operated it in the old days.
So, have you all been out two lane hwy. 30, past the turn to Intercourse and visited the big yellow windmill which is the company that bakes the best shoo-fly pies in existance?
I didn't actually know which jar of Grandma's to purchase for my first shoo-fly pie -- the recipe called for light molasses and the label on the robust jar said it was darker in color, so I opted for unsulphured.
