MITCHELL Many people that know me know I am a chocolate lover. There is nothing I like better than more chocolate. It is my very special favorite. Valentine's Day will soon be coming up and chocolate is among the favorites for Valentine's Day gifts. Valentine's Day parties can be a time of indulging in some new chocolate dessert. Many eastern North Carolinians have already discovered that the Mississippi Mud Cake is very deli cious. As I was reading in Southern Living magazine, I believe the article said that any Southerner that knows grits knows what you mean when you say Mississippi Mud. It has nothing to do with the Delta, silt or agriculture. It just simply means layered chocolate desserts. These goodies can be found at many dinner tables, covered- dish events and even spreads at grandma's house. There is nothing better to look for at these special occasions. It will make the cook very proud to see how much her Mississippi Mud recipes are loved. Here are two versions of the Mississippi Mud recipes. The pie comes from Edith Askins of Greenville, Texas. The pie is a frozen concoction complete with coffee-flavored ice cream ._and a little whipped cream. The brownies, with chocolate frosting and tempting marshmallows, are made in the micro- wave. You don't have to wait so long for this one to come out ready to eat. WEST CRAVEN HIOHUOHTS - FEBRUARY 2,1989 - PAGE 3 Noticeboard Obituary Herman S.

A little girl hugged a toy to her heart and then ran to her daddy, saying, "Here’s a gift for you.” “Why?" he asked. "Because I love you,” she answered. But In a lew minutes she demanded, "I want my car.” And she took back her gift. How like many of God's children. We give ourselves to Him, but then we take back the gift. So the Psalmist suggested, “Bind the sacrifice with cords to the altar. ” Cords of what? Cords of love. Give your body to God. Let it be a living sacrifice. Since God gave all for you, shouldn’t you give all for Him for all timel Susan Baber The „ ;]ome lirant Picture This Family Don’t you enjoy receiving those wonderful photos of your relative’s family, especially the ones with the children, often the family dog? We’re always gelling adorable pictures like that famt my brother and his wife. So recently, we decided lo do likewise, thinking it would be nice to let distant friends and relatives see our charming daughters. We're still married, but it was touch and go fora while. Our friend Dotlie is an amateur photographer. She even entered a con test and won second place for her close-up of a mushroom. So It seemed logical to ask her lo lake the picture, particularly since she had had. for some lime now. the lens to my husband's camera. The date and time of the picture-taking was set. Julie, our 8-year- old. was instructed lo come directly home from school and wash her hair. ......... ijt.. limily's ‘'hair." for lack of a belter word to describe the fluff around her 18-inonth-old head, was washed days in advance to allow lime for it to settle. The apple juice and mashed potatoes she rubbed over it helped. It was lime. I UHik Julie aside for a gentle talk about her one minor Maw. her frimt teeth. She undcrskHHl. She needed lo sort of smile in a way that lessened the protrusion until the braces could solve the problem permanently. .All set. Julie, her hair perfect, smiles prettily. The baby's jumper is straightened. Ready. .Aim. Iimily heads for the dining nx>m. Capture [‘inily. straighten jumper. Pose again. Julie smiles. Eirnily stands, runs behind the draperies yelling "Biki doggie!" Grab Hmily. sit her down. SMILE! Emmie, restrained by Julie, screams. Emily gets a ciNikie lo make her smile. She screams because it is broken. Julie begins to read a htnik. Emily and Julie posed again. SMILE! TEIiTH. JULIE! EMMIE!!! The second night was worse. It was worse. pn>bably. because Dottie was not there, the pictures she tmik having been overexposed. Her absence made it easier for me to speak my mind about how Jim. with a camera borrowed fnmi a neighbor, was undertaking this project. How dumb. I said, lo scream at an 18-month-old to smile and knik at a camera. I went to the other nnun and turned on the television, but still I could hear. EM! EM! HERE! LfXJK HERE! SMILE! On the third night. Jim assured me he had a fiN>lproof camera. It was not like the neighbor's, he said, which had failed because of something about film speed. I went lo thebedriHim. closed the door and refused locomc out. Actually, those photos were n$H ik> bad. but not nearly as good as the ones that arrived of my brother's children. "What was that pretty background you used?” I asked. "Oh.” said my sister-in-law. whose ability lo bree/e ihnmgh these pri»jecls is something I envy. “It was one of several wc could have chosen at the studio in the mall."
