Its just a plain little blue book, worn with age but inside are quite a few recipes from the 40s, the war years when there was rationing......here is her recipe in her handwriting for a raised gingerbread..
Another interesting recipe is this one for War Cake...no milk
Many just give the ingredients so you just have to figure out how to put them together..no, I've never tried the War Cake recipe but you boil the first 7 ingredients together, then take them off the stove, let it cool a little then mix it into the dry ingredients..and bake at 350.I can see we may have a problem later this year...our neighbor called his bank to see about refinancing and they wouldn't do it unless he was 3 months delinquent on his mortgage..said they were not refinancing anyone right now.... This just encourages people to default and makes the situation worse. I've just had to put this all in God's hands as we are sure powerless to do anything about it.....

What a treasure to have your mother's cookbook and in her handwriting! Love the prayer, my prayers are with you as well. blessings,Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI'm loving it so many people seem to be looking up how to actually cook real food (I see it in the younger gal's blogs). Your precious cookbook from you mom is really a treasure - I have several hand written recipes from my mother and they are all treasures. I understand the situation about foreclosures (we are in the real estate business) and about all we can believe is - God is in control, He knew this would happen and has allowed it - the end is already known to Him and we who are called by His name are His children. I sometimes feel like being a brat and telling non believers - My DAD can beat up your dad (or idol or whatever) - but that isn't very loving is it? Thank you for reminding us - we may all have a very bumpy ride in this life but Oh the landing in the next will be supremely happy.
ReplyDeleteOld recipes are a real treasure Dani..My Mom decided once to take a cooking class at a College and has some recipes that they had to make and it is a treasure...especially since my Mother wasn't that big on recipes or cook books. Anything that belonged to her or my Grandmother is a treasure to me....is a lot to have to haul when we move but I wouldn't part with any of it for anything.
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to have things to pass down to our kids :)

You ought to think about contacting a publisher about that cookbook! That is just what is needed today! Those kinds of recipes are priceless.
ReplyDeleteAs to your other blog -- be sure and get a Button and put it on your sidebar -- an animated button to catch the eye -- have it linked to your selling bloggie --
That cookbook really is a treasure, Dani... I love looking at my Mother's recipes sometimes just to see her handwriting... it makes me sad though too...
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers... I know how you feel because we too are wondering what to do about some financial situations right now.. it was so good to read Linda Sue's encouraging words- they made me feel better about everything!
wow, this is amazingly like my grandma's cookbook, which has some interesting recipes, also--including one for laundry soap.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, i did NOT know you had another blog, so yes, thank you, i WILL check it out!
