Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
In all of Mother Z, Mother H., or Mom's recipes, we found no "Torte" recipes, except those from Aunt Mary. I also found quite a few torte recipes in the Hingham (where I grew up) Church cook books. I recall that after the war (WWII) more "fancy" entrées appeared. Aunt Mary was usually on the cutting edge of the new things, or so it seemed to me. For example, she was the person who introduced instant pudding to our family.
