Dad was the gardener in our family.  He grew tomatoes, beans, silverbeet and rhubarb in his vegie plot.  There was a passionfruit vine on the back fence and, of course, a lemon tree in the corner.  I think every Melbourne family had and probably still has a lemon tree in their backyard.  Easy to grow and if the position is right lemons in abundance.  As a result Mum made the most of it and used lemons where ever she could.  This self saucing pudding was one of her yummy ways of using some of the crop.

SALMON CASES

Today these filled bread cases would be great to serve up as finger food with drinks, but Mum would have made them as a supper snack.  They demonstrate the way entertaining changed over the years.  Mum and Dad would rarely have people over for a sit down dinner.  Most people ate quite early, so friends were invited after dinner for drinks or maybe cards and Mum would serve up a hearty supper.  By the 1990s things were changing for my generation, but it was still popular for Mum and Dad to entertain that way.
