I love finding old cookbooks at thrift shops. The one pictured is the Rumford Complete Cookbook from 1943. Cost was, as I recall, one dollar but the value is priceless. I love paging through and reading the recipe notes penciled in so carefully by someone long ago.

Since we live in a 1910 house, once in awhile I treat myself to something that was made in 1910. I have collected a series of magazines, Ladies World, all published in 1910. I put them out according to the month or holiday,and so this month is the Christmas Issue. Now, people lived very […]

First of all, I know calas are not baked. They are fried. However not enough of you have tasted traditional New Orleans Rice Calas because if you had they would be plastered all over blogs everywhere, and they are not. I do try to concentrate on baked things mostly but sometimes we […]

When we first moved to a suburb outside of Doylestown, Pa. in 1964 there were few houses in the brand new development called Palomino Farms. I was four years old and the precocious only child in the neighborhood. As such, I felt it was my duty to entertain the adults around me […]
