So much of our lives literally revolves around the kitchen. We eat all our meals together there, sharing the day’s challenges and successes. It served as the school room and the family room for playing games. Plans for the day and the future are discussed and solidified over food and drink. The bills get paid, records are kept and taxes figured there. Seeds are spread on the table while planning the garden and jars are sorted and filled there at harvest time. Quilts and clothes get cut and sewn on that table. Neighbors and friends are always welcome to share a cup of coffee and baked goods of the day. Wonderful memories reside in the kitchen while delightful new, little people come to add their chapters.
Soups, stews and casseroles are the best ways to “stretch” meat. Adding vegetables and pastas creates bulk that absorbs and blends with the flavor of the meat. This recipe was obviously used in the boarding house but can easily be cut in half or even quartered for today’s smaller family.
Sometimes, a single ingredient can make a dish an exciting variation when the palate is exhausted.
You don’t need a bunch of fancy ingredients to make ordinary food festive.
There are six varieties of pudding: steamed, boiled, baked, souffle´, chilled and frozen, Generally speaking, the most popular puddings are the baked, chilled, and souffle´ in the order given.
These are very light and nourishing dumplings. Serve chicken fricassee in the middle of a large platter and make a border of the farina dumplings. Sprinkle the whole dish with very finely chopped parsley.
When using pears in short cake, either fresh or canned pears may be used and should be chilled before use.
The body of a green pear is hard or very firm. They are good for baking, cooking, stewing, canning, etc. , but not ready for eating fresh or using in salads. The color of a ripe pear usually turns from green to yellow. The body of a ripe pear is tender and yielding. When ripe, pears are best chilled before serving.

I’ve recommended vitamins and minerals to supplement the typical American diet for years. Considering most of our food comes from corporate farms and is over processed, I just don’t feel it contains everything a healthy body requires. If we need supplements now, why would we not consider them necessary as part of a long term food plan?
When you’re snowed in…the garden is under four feet of snow…the holidays are over…It’s time to quilt!!!
Emergency Food Storage Comparisons are extremely helpful when you are shopping for emergency food but can be misleading when the term ‘year supply’ is used. All One Year Supply food packages are not created equal and it’s not just the calories or cost per serving that must be considered.
