When I was in middle school, we had special elective afternoons during the second half of January, February and the first half of March every single Friday. Over the years, I took weaving, pottery and woodworking. One year when I got on my bus, my friend Ron, who had been in cooking class that afternoon, had a few Rocky Road Squares he had made, each kid got to take home their share. He shared some of his with me, and then I wrote his recipe in the front page of the book I was reading at the time, Judy Blume’s “Blubber”. I kept that page until I lost my recipe box at Lynn’s.
