We referred to Bert's wife as Aunt Pat- (Bert was my dad, Rudy's, 1st cousin -- Leona's younger brother and -- son of Otto and Pearl Robinson Hanson). Seems everyone was Auntie and Uncle in Skandia!
It was said when two young people started making "peepers" at each other, everyone ran to the Elders to make sure they weren't related! A small town phenom that still carries out to this day.
Here's a pic of Aunt Pat's Christmas celebration when they lived in Kristina's old house (Pat said about 1950). Love that kitchen- original beadboarding and wavy glass windows!
L to R:
-Martin Coppo (husband to Leona, Otto's daughter),
-Pat Bradley Hanson (standing more in front, with glasses)
-Pearl Robinson Hanson holding Bert and Pat's daughter, Pam
-Pearl's hubby, Otto
-Leona (Otto and Pearl's only daughter)
-Glen (Otto and Pearl's youngest son) My dad Rudy's 1st cousin and best friend!
Thought Pat's recipe would be a nice addition. OX Auntie Dar
This recipe from "Aunt" Pat in Skandia - she was a great cook but hated being away from the party...
*AUNT PATS HURRY UP CHICKEN*
-2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Equal amounts of Dijon mustard and dark brown sugar
Rinse and pat chicken dry. Spray a shallow pan with PAM. Place chicken in pan. Smear heavily with mustard/sugar mixture. Cover with foil and bake 350 for 20-30 Minutes or until juices run clear.
USE EXTRA SAUCE FOR DIPPING. SOUNDS KILLER! ox Dar
