You'd better believe it! They do not seem to be plentiful, but we will eat every one we get! You don't see mulberry trees that often anymore. And I've not had any since I was a youngster!

A friend of mine lives in OK and has one. Another friend of mine has a huckleberry tree. I'd love to have those too!

Jon's really gonna love these. His fav thing in the world is custard.
Thanks again.

Well - ok - time to 'fess.......

Maybe it's cuz I'm a gorgeous blonde (with white hairs coming in!!), or maybe it's cuz I'm tuff and I use my Italian "ways" (concrete shoes - you know the drill - LOL), or just cuz I've been 'round the block a few times in the restaurant industry and everyone knows me (I don't go 'round the block with anyone - I'm still old-fashioned! so get your mind out of the gutter!), or maybe they just had to have some of my secrets, or they just enjoyed a good home-cooked meal and would not get ANY luscious dessert until they told! LOL

Mama's got her ways!

(love all those gangster and GodFather movies!!)

Jon about fell out of his chair laughing when I read that to him lol.

1 - 6 ounce package chocolate chips
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler.

Add oil and mix in well. When dipped into, or spooned over
