3 years of ignoring my blog.

2009-08-10T09:33:00.006-05:00

How does it happen? One minute you are blogging on a daily basis and the next thing you know, 3 years have passed. I never even noticed the blog was missing. It seemed like only yesterday, I was happily keyboard blogging, than there was a short face book phase, a MySpace investigation, and a twitter fling with the blog nowhere to be found. I like a blog, it feels natural, easy and slower pace than the passing fads of the social networking sites. I don't want to be "in touch" with other humans all the time. I need my alone time, some space on the net to call my own. To me, this little blog is like taking time to smell the roses, laying in a hammock under the shade of an old oak tree or meandering by a lovely meadow stream. Although I don't know how, nor have ever meandered, it does sound lovely. With that said, here I am, three years later taking time to smell the roses, lay in a hammock and meander, without the prying eyes of face book, MySpace, or twitter. Care to join me?

A Fruit Dessert taken from the recipe journal.

2006-08-03T15:23:00.000-05:00

Pecan Pies, Pecan Krispies, Pe Cans

You can find more pecan pie recipes on my website.

I purchased another load of recipes from around the country. Those little tin recipe boxes are wonderful little finds. Can you imagine loosing your mother's recipe box!

It seems like it would be against some law somewhere.

Cheese Balls - Sound so................

2006-08-03T14:14:00.000-05:00

Received a recipe journal from a small town in Georgia. This is a recipe from that journal, I do not know who owned this journal. If I find a name, I will let you know.

Cheese Balls Cooked from the Journal

I think she wrote two different recipes on the same page here.
If I am wrong, please forgive.

Recipe One:
2 Cups grated cheese - sharp cheddar - at least one cup.
1 stick oleo
1 cup flour
1 T. Paprika
1 t. salt
Olives - large, your choice

Mix everything together in a mixer, but the olives.
Use 1 teaspoon dough and wrap around each olive.

Here she didn't say whether to bake or fry - just use 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
I am going to hazard a guess, that it should be baked, because she mentions an ungreased baking sheet in the second recipe below.
.

Recipe Two on same Journal page.

1 stick oleo
1/2 lb. sharp or mild cheese
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 - 1/2 t. Tabasco
dash garlic salt
small size stuffed olives

Have butter and cheese at room temperature. Blend with fingertips. Add flour gradually, blend well. Add garlic salt, and tobacco and mix well. Break off small bits and flatten in palm of hand. Ungreased baking sheet.
375 for 15 minutes, until lightly colored, but not browned.

This recipe was written in the Journal, I purchases from a small town in Georgia. It may be that I am not a fan of the green pepper, but this would not be my favorite recipe.

1 package (6 ounces) smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup melted butter
60 saltine crackers

Place peppers in a hot oven (400 degrees) until the skin puffs (about 10 to 12 minutes.) Remove stems, seeds, and peel. Cut in 8 slices - lengthwise, then halve each slice crosswise. Combining vinegar, onion, salt, pepper, oil, garlic, basil, and bay leaves in a small bowl. Add the pepper slices and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Combine cheese and the melted butter in a bowl. Mix well in a blender with other ingredients. There is the spread/dip for your crackers.

I am not sure about the "1 hr & 1 hr & 10 min." But this is what she had written on her recipe card. I am not a baker, nor a cook by any stretch of the imagination, so I just have to write what they have written. It just seemed a little odd to me. All that writing, why not just say bake for 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Sometimes, I think these ladies could never have enjoyed cleaning, ironing, and cooking as much as the photos show..............no, really, you don't say...... of course I am joking.

American Country Sausage

2006-04-27T07:44:00.000-05:00

2/3 Fresh Pork - Lean
1/3 Fat

5 K. Pork
4 SS Salt
3 SS Sage
1 1/2 SS Pepper

This makes mild sausage.
Use more pepper or use part crushed red pepper. Add a little cold water to keep from crumbling when made into patties. Try till brown on the outside and well done inside.

There was a note in the parenthesis which said, "Mom always made this sausage on a special occasion." Although I can not understand some of her symbols, there may be some of you who can. For instance, I have no idea what the "K" stands for and I am not sure what she means when she wrote, "1/3 fat". This is what you get when you are not a cook! I do know that she loved this recipe, because it reminded her of her mother. She loved her mother. It is the actions of another, in life, that we remember, not the possessions, not the words, but the actions. What they did, the memories they created for us. The good time, the little things....like making sausage on a special occasion.

Now here is another recipe found in a different recipe box.

Sausage

10 lbs lean pork
1/4 Cup Salt
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 T. Sage
2 t. Black Pepper
2 t. Red Pepper

This was the end of this recipe for sausage. It was written on a scrap of note book paper, very yellow with age.

Bread and Butter Pickles

2006-04-21T07:06:00.000-05:00

Pickle recipes have been a long time favorite. I am gathering these recipes from old recipe card boxes, I don’t know if they are accurate. I remember my mom making pickles. I never learned how.

One of my strongest memories of my grandfather, on my mothers side, was the little one room shack he lived in. It was down the toe path from my grandmother's house. I do not know why they lived apart, as they did, but back in those days, people didn't believe in divorce at any cost. But back to my story, it was a tar paper shack shaded by a thousand trees, sounded by flowers, and climbing vines. His house was always cool in the summer's heat. A water barrel stood near the tiny front porch for run off roof water, but the best part was the aroma. My grandfather made bread and butter pickles most every summer. I will never forget the aroma, I love this pickles to this day. When ever I eat one, I remember my grandfather.

Mom’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

2006-04-20T18:51:00.000-05:00

It seems, this week, everyone I know has a cold. Mom always said Chicken Noodle Soup was made for colds. So, I felt it appropriate to add this handwritten recipe, found stuffed in a recipe box. Someone’s mom cared enough to make it from scratch, ok, almost scratch, she didn’t actually make the broth. Anyway, here is what the lady has written for her Chicken Soup Reicpe!

One 46 ounce can of Chicken Broth
Two small cans of chicken chunks (like the tuna fish cans)
Three or four stalks of celery - sliced
Four or Fine Carrots - sliced
One medium sized chopped onion
One 6 or 8 ounce bag of uncooked noodles.

In a big pan, put the broth, carrots, celery and onion. cook over a medium burner until it starts to boil.
Add a little salt, pepper, and other soup spices. (just look on the back of the spice tins)
Turn the burner down to low and cover until the carrots are tender.
Add the chicken and the noodles.
Turn the burner back up to medium until the soup boils again.
Turn it back to low and keep the lid off.
Cook for bout 10 minutes until the noodles are done.

Where do they hide, these recipes from days past. Days when moms stayed home, when she was always there for you.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was spent with the family. Time for thinking, talking, laughing. Times when doors were left open all night, when neighbors spoke to each other, when dogs were unfettered by leashes…..

Where did it go? Kids free to play, to make believe, to be spin around in circles falling on the ground dizzy with joy, playing G.I.Joe, Cowboys and Indians, Easy Bake Ovens, Barbie’s…..

Here I sit, wishing for a time machine, wishing I could go home, run into the kitchen to see my mom stirring a pan on top the stove, just one more time, just one more taste…………….what about you?

This Vintage Recipe Collection is dedicated to moms from the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, when life was good.
