There are community members who, in the not distant past, didn’t need to have their surnames added. This recipe would have been titled Randy’s Chocolate Mousse. But time marches on, our dear community members grow elderly or pass on. Their names are substituted with current awesome people but those who dwelled here are not forgotten. Their memories and recipes continue to fill our bellies.
Randy Keeney was an active Co-op member. She was an artist, a poet, a horsewoman and an absolutely fantastic cook! She lived on Maple Hill. Her home is now that of Kagen Dewey and Elise Magnant of Blackbird Organics.
