Oh what a lovely story! I'm a Baby Boomer too and my mom told the same kind of depression era tales. Just remember-"And there but for the grace of God, go I". We're so lucky to have all we do. Caramel is my all time fave- I'd eat a stick if there was caramel on it!! And I've always wanted to make Caramels. Well, your moms recipe is the best sounding recipe (except for the 2 hours) I've ever found. I'll let you know how it turns out- at Christmas time. Thanks for sharing - the recipe AND the story!
