- Weekend cook Dallas Post/Charlot M. Denmon bottle washer on weekends. Robert Fletcher By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Robert Fletcher of Dallas is affili- ated with the Valley Auto Club as manager of Emergency Services, but on weekends he takes over as chef for his family. “I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, so when the weekend comes I chase my wife and mother out of the kitchen and I take over,” Fletcher said. “I have at least 27 cookbooks, one of them including recipes from the 1800’s. Like some persons collect souvenirs, I collect recipes.” A resident of Dallas for the past 30 years, Bob is married to the former Charlotte Gould of Western Pennsylvania. They have two sons, Jonathan, a second grade student; and Robbie, age four. Fletcher has = been with the American Automobile Association ior the past 20 years, having first worked for that com- pany in Hartford, Connecticut. In his former position, he did a lot of traveling which he enjoyed immensely. He visited all of the states East of the Mississippi, nine states west of the Mississippi and many of the Canadian provinces. Bob also likes fresh water fishing for. bass, a sport he finds very relaxing. Since Bob’s mother lives with them, the entire family gets together on holidays .and Bob does the cooking. Last year, they had their first family reunion in about 15 years and he did all the barbecuing and cooking for 50 to 60 people. Bob does everything from canning and freezing to barbecuing to making cakes, pies or other des- serts, but his favorite is preparing holiday entrees such as large roasts, turkeys and such. This week, he shares three of his family’s favorite recipes with Dallas Post readers, Seven Layer Casserole, Aunt Marion’s Apple- sauce Cake and 24-Hour Pickles, all of them equally delicious but easy to prepare.
