Dear Phaed,
Im really hoping you can help me here...About 40 years ago my grandmother 
use to make Cookies that we as kids called Applesauce cookies. They were 
real soft and plump with fat juicy raisins, spicy like spice cake sort of . 
More the texture of a cake than a cookie though. My grandma lived a very 
meager life and she was dirt poor. I don't remember her ever owning any 
spices and I stayed with her often so I am almost leaning towards a cake 
mix that had all the spices in it already however I have tried many from 
the internet and hers were a little heavier than the product I get and 
nicely browned. Mine turn out light colored. I dont know for sure if they 
actually had applesauce in them..just what we called them. I so miss these cookies.
Thanks for all your posts..I love them!

Subject: Meta Givens recipes

Love your website!   I know you said to limit it to one request, but since 
these both will come from the same source I hope you will excuse me asking 
for two.  I am looking for Meta Givens recipes for Twin Mountain muffins and 
a Pancake recipe using evaporated milk.  These are simple but memorable recipes. 
I don't have them because I let my ex-husband keep the Meta Given cookbooks 
since he is the one who found them at auctions. 
Your help would be appreciated greatly.

Sincerely,
Rita

Hi Rita,

The Twin Mountain muffins recipe is below.

Rita, you may ask for as many recipes as you wish, but each recipe request should be in a separate e-mail, no matter the source.

Hello Richard,

This was not difficult. Whirlpool has a website at:

Whirlpool Corp.

I went there, to the Product Literature Page:

I put in the first 6 digits of your model #, and the attached manual in *.pdf format is the result.
