Oh…Auntie Griselda brought an appetizer.
Fetal Predator Skulls in Brown Gravy, to judge by the looks of it.
So am I!
Pretty please??
His series on early American Jello has become a classic for all to copy.
For now, just a taste ...
Thank you for correcting this crime against humanity by ... including Lileks?
Thanks. I might try that, though I suspect I’ll end up modifying it a bit.
Even though you have an “enquiring mind”, I have to say no. You think I want a bunch of Cuban female ghosts haunting my kitchen? LOL.
Yes, thankfully you are correct!!!!! The pie I mentioned is called Ritz Cracker Pie! You should take it to your sister as a gift, haa! It’s Ritz Crackers, egg whites, pecans mostly. Then served with whipping cream. Glad you asked me and that I can google, haaa!
Cheers!
What kind of really good books often wind up in the clearance section?
Haha that’s great. I’m from Louisiana, so it is a totally different meal than the north. Both delicious, I’m sure. :)
I probably have that recipe in my old stuff from the late 1800s and early 1900’s . I’ll look.
Those pictures are awful. I was flipping thru a Helen Corbitt cookbook from the 1950s and pictures are equally as bad, but she was a great cook!
Books from another generation.
True with science fiction and true with cookbooks.
Cooking, much like clothing, tends to run in fads.
Try being the author of a high carb and artificial color cookbook anywhere.
But that was our life 40-50 years ago. (Jello molds?)
OK maybe not the great cookbooks but forgotten ones.
I once found our copy of the Joy of Cooking for $3, many many years ago.
And we seldom open it anymore.
Thanks for your kind thought! MomwithHope linked the recipe upthread at post 80!
😄😂
My Grandmother was from France and came here as a little girl in the late 1800’s. My Mom was born in the 1920’s. Both of them just cooked, no recipes. Both of them could whip up a pie, cake , cookie, or pastry from scratch that you would die for. My Grandma’s other cooking was good to excellent for just about anything, my Mom not so much. They taught my sister who can bake almost as good as them, still no recipes written down. My niece can’t boil water, so I guess the magic will pass with my sister.
My point is, not all family favorites came from a package, some were just good old fashioned cooking. My wife’s Grandmother and Mother handed down many of their Italian recipes, most just list ingredients without exact measures or cooking instructions. Thank god my wife can just cook most of the time as well.
A story from the internet.
“My father sued my mother for, among other things, a tuna noodle casserole recipe. She dropped off a can of cream of mushroom soup at his lawyers office, the recipe was on the back.”
