I cannot imagine who told you that story ... and embellished it...stories do grow in the telling...

BLUSH.. Ok, ok.. so I made it up.. but, if you know Chicago as well as I do.. it really could have happened.. :)))

You are one sneaky devil...but you are right, it could very well have happened as you describe in the Chicago of that time...I remember Chicago, only as it was before 1978...gads, thats how long I have been gone...I miss Chicago the most around Christmastime...I miss the Christmas windows at Marshall Fields, and Cozy Cloud Cottage, where Aunt Holly and Uncle Mistletoe escorted each child right to Santas lap...Marshall Fields at Christmas time was the place to be...

And I miss going to the Museum of Science and Industry, at Christmas time, and seeing all the huge Christmas trees decorated by the different ethnic clubs that are in abundance in Chicago...and also seeing all the different mangers and creches...visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, during the Christmas season, was always a beloved, required trip...

I've blabbered on for long enough.. You should have more than enough recipes to last for a couple of days, until I can sit and post some more..
Tomorrow, I have to undergo another bit of surgery, hopefully not as bad as with the last bout of cancer, but surgery just the same..

I could use some real super duper prayers, on a few knees if you can spare them.. Thank you all soooooo much.. Keep the thread going, I will be reading your great stories when I can sit up, which should be right away.. I LOVE YA .. I REALLY DO!!!
