Local business leaders from Schwai’s Meat & Sausage to Bob’s Main Street Auto & Towing to Cast Iron Luxury Living all spoke fondly of their moms.
Interesting to note what their mom’s made including goulash, meat loaf, Christmas cookies and Catheryn Lake said her mom made her go back to college, which in hindsight, is something she really appreciated.
Other moms in the community were known for their German recipes, zucchini bread, and even their work behind the bar.
Keith Keane and “My mother Doris Besh grew up in Cedarburg, Wi and I remember her baking bread and I’d come home from school and the aroma would fill the house. I’d cut a nice slice off the end of the warm bread and put on a hunk of butter, and it was just delicious,” said Keith Keehn. “She also made her own Manhattans, and she drank them.”
