Some may not understand the significance of this story, but in Patrick's last trip to the US, he brought back Mom's pan. This is a pan that she probably got from her wedding 50 years ago, and she has always used it to make a fruit crisp (as shown here with blueberries). Needless to say it's a bit banged up, but I'm sure it resembles something in everyone's house where it wouldn't sell in a garage sale for 20 cents, but it's still priceless.
Now, I just need to make sure my sister doesn't get the pound cake pan, and I'm all set.
