How completely 1950's!!! And the taste? Tangy and a great addition to any meal! Especially delicious as I tried it for lunch on a hot summer day while sitting on the deck. The chill of the aspic and the fresh flavors of tomato and green pepper were wonderful!<br />
<br />

Looking forward to the new Historical Food Fortnightly Challenges beginning September 2015! Meanwhile, we're looking forward to enjoying our new/old home and cooking in our new/old kitchen! I wonder if there are horses in our future? Hmmmm.....<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
Enjoy!</div>

<span style="color: black;">Bonus! The Historical Food Fortnightly journey has been fun for us and we hope fun for you to read. We have shared some recipes from mid-century cooking and we have also shared some photos and memories of our family. In this digital age it is still nice to have a book in hand and we plan to have this blog published in book form for our family to put on a shelf. Of course it will collect dust, but sometimes it will be fun to take off the shelf and share a laugh together as we so often do with the photo albums we have kept from years past. History can be as fun to share as good food!</span><br />
<br />
I spent my high school years living on a farm and loved collecting fresh eggs. Eggs are still a staple in our diet although Patrick has switched to egg substitute following a heart surgery in 2005. Our bonus breakfast food challenge recipe was easy to find in our CBS Homemakers Exchange booklet from April, May, June 1950. Eggs Royale! Yum! With bread and bacon! Double yum!<br />

This would be an excellent recipe for those mornings when you have a house full of guests. Quick to prepare, quick to bake, and ready about the same time as the coffee takes to brew and the juice to be poured.<br />

I would recommend a heavier bacon than I used as the bacon didn't hold the eggs for the second time in the oven. But I'm a firm believer that a nicely plated and delicious meal makes up for those little disasters.<br />

Tasha is usually called T2 because there was another Tasha in our life. Tasha the First has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This is T1 with Patrick and his daughters, Cathy and Chrissy, in spring 1995.<br />

For this challenge, give your best interpretation of the food eaten by the nameless rabble. Be sure to document what makes it “working-class”!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">$14,500 for a house?! $3,216 for a car?! 37 cents for a pound of coffee?! Absolutely! In 1950 that is. This website has some interesting facts about the prices in Dunklin County, Missouri, United States in the year 1950.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the staples in both Patrick's and my childhood kitchens was hamburger and potatoes. We both remember many meals with those ingredients and when you view the Dunklin County website it is easy to see why. Potatoes might have been a 5-pound bag for 35 cents or a 10-pound bag for 35 cents depending on the season and type of potato. Hamburger was 89 cents for 3 pounds. So our working-class families would have been inventive of those ingredients which might have shown up on our working-class dinner tables at least several times a week.</span></div>

Four thumbs up! While it could have done with a little more color it was a very delicious meal! The mustard added a nice tang to the hamburger and it must have been the egg that added some great texture to the potatoes. Very hearty and filling. You can see I'm working on a tomato aspic recipe and had a little left over so I made a side presentation of tomato aspic and Granny Smith apples. It was a nice addition.</span></div>

A wonderful day to honor those who have cared for us and loved us. It was also Patrick's birthday! So in double celebration I wanted to bake a cake. Not that I need a reason to bake a cake, but as I get older and more prone to gaining weight, I need a very good excuse to have an entire cake in the house just begging to be eaten!</span></span></div>

One of the basic food groups!!! Right up there with chocolate and coffee! No? Well, probably not, but we all love those little special treats. Eating between meals and keeping our internal motors fueled is also healthy for us, I'm told, rather than eating large meals during the day. Patrick and I eat a large breakfast and a large mid-day meal, snack throughout the day, but keep the evening meals light. Light, that is, unless we are dining with friends. I truly believe there are no calories in food you share with friends or between November 20th and January 1st. Agree?</span></span></div>

It reads "Tried pot. logs Mon., July 28th Very gd. accord. to harry! Chill before frying" Monday, July 28th did not occur in the year of our recipe booklet. It did occur in 1952, again in 1958, in 1969, and 1975. With that kind of endorsement, we had to give them a try and see if Harry had the same taste as we do in whatever year he ate them!</span></div>

As I cruised the ice cream aisle I was amazed at the selection. An entire aisle, shelf upon shelf, of frozen desserts! After several tours up and down the aisle with willpower getting weaker and weaker, I finally spotted the sherbert on one top shelf. Only four flavors? Raspberry, orange, lime, and rainbow. As I was standing there considering my options, a sweet and very tiny lady stepped in front me. She could barely reach the top shelf for the raspberry sherbert and I prepared myself to catch her or the sherbert or both. I asked her if that was a good flavor. She beamed at me and told me that the raspberry and lime were the best and how she was going to make a drink using ginger ale. I pointed to my ginger ale in my basket (or buggy as it is called here in the southern United States) and told her that I was making a punch. We laughed and chatted about our recipes. She told me how she used to have her punch at weddings all the time. A very fun encounter!</span></div>

Whether supplementing seasonal produce, dealing with rationed or blockaded food in wartime, or re-imagining a dish without access to crucial ingredients, the cooks of the past had to get creative. Do homage to their ingenuity by interpreting historical substitutions.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The availability of food in is constant flux depending on the weather, season, transportation and labor costs, and demand. Foods have even been genetically engineered for longer shelf life to enable shipping to feed those who might not otherwise have access to those foods. Throughout our history we all know that war has drastically impacted food availability. Another cultural impact is economic depressions and recessions whether on a global level or an individual level. The wonderful thing about humans is that we seem to have a never-ending capacity for adaptation to all situations involving our food. We make do on a level of creativity that sometimes becomes part of our culture.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Great Depression of the 1930s was a severe worldwide economic depression. Appearing in newspapers and cookbooks during that era is a dish known as "City Chicken". It consisted of cubes of meat, usually pork, placed on a skewer and then fried and or/baked and often breaded. Despite the name, the dish contains no chicken. During the Depression pork was cheaper than chicken in parts of the United States especially those areas furthest away from the poultry farms of the country. The dish is also known as "mock chicken" which was first described in the Winchester News of Winchester, Kentucky on 1 December 1908. Depression era cooks often ground their meat and formed it into a chicken leg-shaped form and might have even used a mold to create the illusion.</span></div>

War has always greatly impacted our food supply causing people to make do or do without. War has also impacted our society through the loss of life of those who fight to protect or gain freedoms. Since 1919 the American Legion has performed thousands of burial ceremonies annually for the families of those who have served. Patrick participates in these time-honored duties and this will be his second funeral this week to recognize the veteran and honor and thank both them and their family.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Leafing through our CBS Homemakers Exchange Recipes booklets from 1950 and 1951, we wondered how many rare/scarce ingredients there could possibly be in just 65 years. Of course the increase in prepared/processed foods and fast food restaurants has changed our culture's eating habits tremendously. Patrick remembers having his first pizza when he started college, and I first ate at a McDonald's fast food restaurant when I moved to Chicago at 40 years old. Really!! When I was a child we had two choices for a night out with children in our town in Wisconsin - the A&W, which my mom told me stood for 'amburgers and woot beer, and Dairy Queen for frozen desserts. Now you can understand that growing up in the dairy state meant I had a very steady diet of milk, cheese, butter, and best of all - ice cream. Root beer floats in frosty mugs, ice cream cones with little curls on top - what more could a child ask. Heavenly! Patrick's home state of North Carolina was also a top dairy state and as a teenager Patrick drove trucks for Biltmore Dairy. Biltmore Dairy was operated by the Vanderbilt family at their estate in Asheville and has since been replaced by their winery operations. As part of his benefit package Patrick was given milk, cheese, and - yes - ice cream!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So we were excited to find our April, May, June, 1950 booklet to have recipes for home-made ice cream. Although I didn't intend to make those recipes for this Challenge, when I tried to find the ingredient Junket rennet in either powder or mix I was surprised that it or any substitute was not readily available in any of my local stores.</span></div>

It was primarily used in cheesemaking to separate the solid curd from the liquid whey. The history of rennet use and the wonderful background of Junket Desserts since 1874 and the founder, Chr. Hansen, is best described on Junket's very fun and informative website.</span></div>

We may never buy store bought ice cream again! The recipes were so simple and the ice cream so glorious because of the fresh ingredients and the extraordinary flavors of the mixes. Also gluten free for those who require that in their diet. I would imagine every child and adult would have as much fun making these desserts as eating them. We sure did! The other great news is the cost. A package of the ice cream mix is just $2.00. The rennet tablets were $1.75 for a package of 8 and has recipes for ricotta, Neufchatel, feta, basic hard cheese and American mozzarella using whole or skimmed milk and buttermilk or yogurt for cultures. There are also recipes for ice cream using milk and cream and your choice of flavorings - strawberry, peach, banana, maple walnut, chocolate chip, chocolate and coffee. I see a whole new tangent of cheese and ice cream making in our kitchen!</div>

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States. He had been Vice President serving with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman became President upon President Roosevelt's death on April 12, 1945. Having been Vice President for only 82 days, Truman said that at the moment he became President it "felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me".</div>

World War II was still raging and as President, Harry Truman was faced with having to make some of the most crucial decisions in history. Just months after he had taken office Truman made the decision to have atomic bombs dropped on cities devoted to war work and thereby ending the war. He is credited with his support of the forming of the United Nations and his work in the United States still carries lasting positive effects. A brief summary of President Truman's life is here: <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/presidents/harrystruman" target="_blank">http://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/presidents/harrystruman</a></div>

In 1949 President Truman was re-elected to office. As was customary, an Inaugural Luncheon was served and President Truman selected the menu.</div>

From the website linked below: "Harry S<strong>. </strong>Truman used two Bibles for his swearing-in on the East Portico of the Capitol Building, and his was the first televised inauguration. Truman also reinstated the inaugural ball, which cost $29,000. South Carolina turkey, Smithfield Ham, potato salad, and pumpkin pie were served at the luncheon in the Capitol reception room."<br />
<br />

<br />
President Truman was from Missouri which makes his choice of South Carolina turkey and Smithfield Ham, headquartered in Smithfield, Virginia, a mysterious selection and one that I have been unable to solve. But to two people who were born during President Truman's time in office, and now living in North Carolina sandwiched between South Carolina and Virginia, the menu sounds perfect for us.<br />
<br />
As always, our recipes come from the CBS Homemaker's Exchange Recipe booklets from 1950 and 1951, the years we were born. With this full menu, we have decided to spread our selections over two days and on this first day we will prepare a ham with potato salad.<br />
<br />
Both recipes are in our January, February, March, 1951 booklet:<br />

As we shop for ingredients we are pleased to find a Smithfield Ham - precisely the kind of ham President Truman selected. All of our choices are smoked and fully cooked but even warming a 10 pound ham will take over two hours and we will make the glaze from our recipe.<br />
<br />
Our ingredients including our Smithfield ham and French's mustard, both still available today:<br />

While researching our cooking method we discover some history about Smithfield. The company was founded in 1936 in Smithfield, Virginia which is today known as the "Ham Capital of the World". The company employs 48,000 people in 12 countries. According to their corporate mission they have "developed an industry-leading sustainability program focused on the environment, animal care, employees, food safety, communities and value creation." Sounds like a company that President Truman would have believed in - perhaps that is why he chose their hams for his luncheon.<br />
<br />
The ham is placed in a roasting pan with a cup of water, sealed with foil, and warmed for two hours at 325 degrees F.<br />

The total bill for the ingredients for this meal was $52.00. It would have been a wonderful meal for 6 people with some leftovers for sandwiches. Although the dressing could have used more butter to bind the bread crumbs, the taste was heavenly. There is really something to be said for slow cooked food made from scratch and simple ingredients. President Truman would have enjoyed sharing our lunches these past two days and I believe he would have asked for another slice of pie!</div>

So we trust this will be the same although I find out one incredible fact - Patrick has never eaten plain Jell-O. How can this be? How can someone born in the 1950s never have eaten Jell-O??????? We may have been married almost a quarter of a century but I'm still learning!</span></div>

While we didn't borrow any ingredients from our neighbors we did borrow some of their time while we went on our recent trip. They took care of our Betta, Dennett. He was a gift from our assistant managers when we retired and we named him in their honor. Thank you to our wonderful neighbors!</span></div>

A pork tenderloin with garlic, basted and served with a honey, soy, stone-ground mustard, and rosemary sauce. We love it and our puppy, Tasha, looks like she would like to try it as well.</span></div>

The name of the strip was <em>Blondie </em>and it dates back to 1933. As the story goes, Dagwood was the heir to the Bumstead</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Locomotive fortune but was disowned by his family when he married a flapper, Blondie Boopadoop. Dagwood works as the office manager at a construction company owned by J.C. Dithers, The Bumsteads first baby was originally named Baby Dumpling and later changed to Alexander. The younger sister was named Cookie by the comic strip's readers through a national contest. The family has a dog named Daisy. The origin of both Dagwood's last name and Daisy's name came from Chic Young's long-time friend Arthur Bumstead and his dog, Daisy.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While we wait for our Bumsted sandwiches to warm and melt in the oven we talk about our Sundays as children. The huge Sunday paper would be delivered and Patrick remembers taking out the comic strip section and leaving the rest of the paper for his father. Patrick would spread the "funnies" on the floor, prop himself down on one knee with his chin on the other knee and read the section from front to back.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Television cartoons took the place of the "funnies" as we grew older. In 1948, before either of us were born, there were just over one million televisions in US homes as a result of continued invention by multiple people over the 19th and early 20th centuries. The first national color television broadcast was on January 1, 1954 with the Tournament of Roses Parade. By the mid-1960s color television had started to sell and the last network color conversion occurred in 1972. Quite a leap in our lifetime!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Our sandwiches are ready and it's lunchtime!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">For our Revolutionary Food we would like to offer a simple yet powerful beverage - coffee. In his book <em>Uncommon Grounds</em>, author Mark Pendergrast follows the history of coffee and its impact on the world. Coffee plants grow wild in Ethopia and were perhaps used by people for thousands of years. In the 1400s people began to roast the seeds and by the 1500s the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the world. Europe began to enjoy this beverage 150 years later with London having 2,000 coffeehouses. Coffeehouses became a place to bring people together to enjoy a cup and to exchange ideas. Pendergrast outlines the probability of both the French Revolution and the American Revolution being planned in coffeehouses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists raided British tea ships and threw crates of tea into the harbor, Americans universally switched over to drinking coffee.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"There's a lot of truth to the story, I found," Pendergrast says. He cites a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father proclaims his love of tea but says he will have to learn to embrace coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic."</span><br />

As a teenager I was taught how to make coffee with only a saucepan, cold water, coffee grounds, and an egg. The recipe served me well and I became the designated coffeemaker in my first job as night shift nurse aide where coffee kept the staff alert through the long nights. I later learned that the recipe is called Kahvi or Finnish Egg-Cleared Coffee and since I'm of Finnish descent, I guess it all ties together nicely. So from "The Finnish Cookbook", here is the recipe for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Kahvi -- Finnish Egg-Cleared Coffee</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><br /></strong>8 cups cold water</div>
1 egg, well washed<br />
16 slightly rounded teaspoons coffee, plus one for the pot<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bring the cold water to a boil in a coffeepot or saucepan. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crush the egg (shell and all) into the dry coffee grounds and mix thoroughly. When the water has come to a rolling boil, add the egg-coffee mixture and stir quickly. Let it come to the boiling point, and remove from the heat. Repeat this twice more. Then cover and let stand about 5 minutes so the grounds can settle. Makes 8 cups. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The secret is to never NEVER boil the coffee. Just bring it to the boil and then remove from heat. Coffee is the national drink of Finland so I trust they know what they are doing.</div>

It also looks like Jeanette is cooking and taking photos and that is only somewhat true. We usually cook together and in our home we have a rule that has served us well - one cooks, the other cleans. Really! No need to worry about using too many dishes and ruining your enjoyment of cooking with a lot of clean up afterward! The other will clean! This is the mess I left for Patrick today. *smile* But I know he'll love the pie!</span></div>

It sits out for 20 minutes before serving. Cutting is easy, and it slides out of the pan nicely. I like the presentation of the golden crust in the glass pie pan and although the recipe called for a 9" pan, this pan is 9.5" and just barely held the filling.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We have so much to celebrate this holiday season! Patrick's twin daughters, Cathy and Chrissy, are 31 years old and you might remember from a previous post that Cathy became engaged to Aaron in October. Patrick and his daughter's mother were divorced and the Joint Custody Agreement outlined the rights and responsibilities of each parent. Holidays were divided and since the girls were out of school for two weeks during the Christmas break, they spent the first week with their father and the second week with their mother. With my marriage to Patrick I became part of that schedule and Cathy and Chrissy would be with Patrick and me until Christmas Eve when the girls would go to church with their father and leave with their mother. After an entire week of love and laughter in our home, Christmas Eve was a sad time as the house was again quiet.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After Christmas in 2013 Cathy and Chrissy's mother passed away suddenly. She was in her late 60's and the death was completely unexpected. Patrick travelled from our home in North Carolina to Illinois and spent the next month with his daughters helping them through the emotional and financial tangle.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We were touched when Cathy and Chrissy invited us to spend Christmas with them this year! Patrick and I have been married 22 years and this would be our first Christmas Day with them. We made the trip to Illinois, had the most wonderful time with Cathy, Chrissy, Aaron, and Aaron's mom and dad, Janet and Tom, who, although they are also divorced, spend together time with their children.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In this challenge, be as divine or as devious as you like! It could be a food with connections to a religion, a dish served for sacred celebrations, or a concoction with a not-so-polite name. Whatever your choice, show us how naughty and/or nice you can be!</span></div>

But with the Christmas celebration just one week away, it seems more fitting to think about angels. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ingredients are simple and the preparation is simple as well. I remember learning that a good meringue is made with eggs that are "old and cold" and that memory drops me down the rabbit hole of internet research. This link has the scientific properties to explain why old or fresh eggs, and cold or room temperature eggs, will give you the results you want for your specific meringue need.</span><br />

The results? Fantastically delicious! The meringue is almost the same consistency as the spread and it cuts easily with a fork or spoon. The meringue is sweet, the topping sweet but very very lemony and just wonderful! We dare not make this desert often, because we were naughty and ate the whole thing!<br />
<br />
We want to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone and a wonderful beginning to the New Year! Wishing you a home full of love and light and good food!<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What foods have you always wanted to attempt, but were afraid to attempt to make - or afraid to eat? Choose a dish that is either tricky to create or nerve-wracking to eat, and get adventurous! It’s historical Fear Factor!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Do you believe that we are born disliking something we have never tasted? Ask any mother who has tried to get her two-year-old to eat broccoli and the answer is Yes! There is even a phobia for the fear of food - cibophobia. You might remember that Patrick's mother was a caterer. She catered for Steven Spielberg when he filmed <em>The Color Purple</em> in North Carolina. She had to keep it a secret until it was over and his thank you letter to her was a cherished piece of her history. She enjoyed meeting Mr. Spielberg but was totally overjoyed with meeting Oprah Winfrey!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So with a mother who was all about food, you would think that Patrick would be a bit adventurous in the kitchen. Not! When I met him he ate chicken, rice, corn, and sometimes a potato. Really! Gradually he came to trust what I was placing before him and as he started his own cooking he has become more willing to try new things.</span></div>

Chances are many of you have had beef tongue. Eating the beef tongue, along with other types of offal or organ meats, reflects the need or desire to consume as much of a butchered animal as possible rather than wasting perfectly edible meat. Several ethnic cuisines, including those of Mexico and Germany as well as traditional Jewish cookery, make liberal use of tongue in various traditional dishes and recipes. Beef tongue and ox tongue are also part of other cuisines including Bulgarian, Turkish, French, Romanian, Spanish, Brazilian, Persian, Indonesian, Nicaraguan, Philippine, Albanian, English, Russian, Korean, Mongolian, Japanese, and Italian. But never in recorded history has it been part of the cuisine of The Murray Household.</span></div>

Patrick's grandfather was a butcher and Patrick spent some time visiting friends at nearby farms, but mostly he was a city kid. My life has been very rural.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My father is a wonderful man and was diagnosed with epilepsy. At the time I was born in Wisconsin epileptics were not allowed to marry. The state annulled his marriage to my mother shortly after I was born and I moved in with grandma and grandpa while my mother went to work. Fortunately, the laws were changed in the early 1950s but by then my mother had remarried. When my mother and stepfather divorced in the 1960s, joint custody of children and no-fault divorce were not the norm as they are today. My stepfather wanted custody of the four children and won that legal battle. The fallout, however, was me. Since he had never legally adopted me, I became a ward of the state and on my last day of school of the 8th grade I was moved to a foster home.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Children are so amazingly resilient. They often live life being accepting that what is is what is supposed to be. And so did I. It was a wonderful home on a beautiful farm. We had a huge garden, chickens, pigs, dairy and beef cattle. I played in the field with Charlie, my calf, who was born on the day I arrived. I watched him grow, watched him die and was helped to understand and accept the circle of life that puts food on our table. That understanding is missing in some ways today as we see our food packaged and labeled and placed neatly in rows at the market. Times change. Epileptics can marry and raise families. Children of divorced homes can continue to be with and love both parents. Good change.</span></div>

Why? Because the aroma is really heavenly! I've already tasted a piece and remember that I have eaten beef tongue before. It is sweet, tender, and a knife goes through it like butter. Patrick can't resist. He takes a small piece and puts it in his mouth but then puts a finger to his temple and shakes his head. He can't NOT think about what this meat is and he walks away.</span></div>

When you hear the name <em>Patrick Murray </em>do shamrocks come to mind? Most likely! The Scots-Irish (Scotch-Irish) Migration brought many families to North America in the 18th and 19th centuries and Patrick's ancestors settled in the Carolinas. In 1982 Patrick's career transferred him from North Carolina to Chicago, Illinois. In 1990 I was accepted into the University of Chicago graduate program and took a position in the same company where Patrick was employed. We met and married in Chicago in 1992. The City of Chicago boasts a large Irish population. Chicago celebrates St. Patrick's Day as fully as it can possibly be celebrated. Even the river is dyed green!<br />

As you've probably already guessed, we're going to share with you some Irish recipes. If you were here we would make you a green beer, Chicago style!</div>

Like all traditional cultural cuisines, Irish cuisine if influenced by the crops grown and animals farmed in that climate. In the second half of the 16th century the potato was introduced which heavily influenced Ireland's cuisine thereafter. Traditional Irish recipes tend to be simple and hearty, and nothing is wasted. As the saying goes, every part of the pig is eaten except the oink! Traditional recipes would include Bacon and Cabbage, Irish Stew, Leek and Potato Soup, Nettle Soup, Irish Soda Bread, Irish Brown Bread, Spotted Dog, Colcannon, and Champ. A great website for these recipes and some fun history is here: <a href="http://www.dochara.com/the-irish/food-recipes/traditional-foods-of-ireland/" target="_blank">http://www.dochara.com/the-irish/food-recipes/traditional-foods-of-ireland/</a></div>

Today is the last Saturday of November and Patrick is hunting deer. He has already harvested one which has been processed and is in the freezer for the winter. The deer population is quite heavy in our area and the hunting season extends from early September until late December and sometimes even January. Patrick hunts with bow and muzzleloader. The temperatures have dropped and he will be chilled when he comes home for a mid-day meal. I'm going to make something from our CBS Homemakers Exchange Recipes booklets - Irish Stew and Irish Soda Bread.</div>

I really don't remember ever having eaten a turnip and I certainly don't remember how to prepare one! Some internet research gives me the tip of cutting off the ends to create a flat surface and then peeling from the top down, flipping the turnip over, and peeling the remainder. A great tip to prevent peeling too much flesh off the turnip, or peeling any flesh off my fingers!</div>

<strong>Historical Food Fortnightly</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>The Challenge: </strong>#13 - Ethnic Foodways<br />
<strong>The Recipe: </strong>Irish Stew and Irish Soda Bread<br />
<strong>The Date/Year and Region: </strong>1950 and 1951<br />
<strong>How Did You Make It: </strong>CBS Homemakers Exchange Recipes<br />
<strong>Time to Complete: </strong>3 hours<br />
<strong>Total Cost: </strong>$38.50<br />
<strong>How Successful Was It? </strong>Patrick was not entirely sure he would like the lamb or the turnips, but he ate 2 helpings and we both loved it!<br />
<strong>How Accurate Is It? </strong>Similar to many other historical recipes for the same dishes however, it may be that we have actually made a traditional Spotted Dog rather than an Irish Soda Bread.<br />
<br />

Enjoy!</div>

I'm from Wisconsin and absolutely love anything cheese. As a teenager Patrick worked for the Biltmore Dairy and came to love all things dairy as well, although the free and never-ending ice cream bar was his favorite. I remember seeing the Welsh Rarebit recipe many times in many cookbooks but although I'm a child of the 1950s I had never tried one. Now is the time!</span></span></div>

No surprise there! It originated in the 18th century and was originally called Welsh Rabbit. There are suggestions that it was a dish prepared by households who ate cheese for protein rather than meat either by choice or because meat was too expensive or not available. It is also suggested that the poorer households who might have eaten rabbit would prepare this dish when even the lowly rabbit was not at hand. Whatever the reason, Welsh Rabbit was called Welsh Rarebit by Francis Grose in his slang dictionary in 1785. And there you have it! No one knows what a rarebit is! What we do know is that the preparation of this continued so someone liked the taste no matter the name.</span></span></div>

Charlotte Russe? Choose a dish named after a person, either fictional or real, to create. Bonus points if you tell us about the link between the person and the dish!</span></em> <br />
<br />
It's always such fun to see the next Challenge for the Historical Food Fortnightly and then to find a recipe in our CBS Homemaker's Exchange Recipes from 1950 and 1951. So far we've met each Challenge but we were not quite so optimistic about Challenge #11. But we needn't have feared! The recipe booklets gave us a lot of options: Sherlock Turnips, Bumsteds, Oysters Rockefeller, Aunt Ester's Cream Pie, Tillie's Scrapple, just to name a few. We had a lot of fun planning the blog around Humpty Dumpty Salad and Jack Horner Rolls. My grandmother was English and I was fed a constant diet of nursery rhymes as a child. We would sit for hours reciting who fell off the wall and who was sitting in the corner. Great memories!<br />
<br />
As we were writing the recipe possibilities one name kept occurring, Sally Lunn. <br />

Who was Sally Lunn? Was she a real person? Was she the baker that homemakers in the mid-century were copying? The mystery had to be solved!<br />

Our research first introduces us to a tea-house in Bath, England. The Sally Lunn Eating House is on the site of what was originally the Bath Abbey. The lowest floor level dates to the reconstruction of the Abbey after a great fire in 1137. The current building was constructed in the 1600s. In the 1930s it was acquired by Marie Byng-Johnson who opened it as a tea room selling Sally Lunn buns. Marie claims that she discovered an ancient document in a secret panel above the fireplace explaining that Sally Lunn (then called Solange Luyon), a young French Hugenot refugee, brought her recipe to Bath around 1680.<br />
<br />
There is other mention of the elusive Sally Lunn in our research. In 1798 <em>The Gentlemen's Magazine</em> uses Sally Lunn as an example during a discussion of foods named after people. In 1827 it was noted by correspondent William Hone that an historical person sold buns on the street "about 30 years ago". The story is that a baker bought her business, composed a song for the vendors, and sold the buns in mobile carts. There is evidence of an 1819 advert for Sally Lunn cakes sold by W. Needes of Bath, bread and biscuit maker to the Prince Regent. A simpler interpretation is that the name comes from French <em>Sol et lune</em>, or sun and moon, representing the golden crust and light interior.<br />
<br />
So is Sally Lunn real? Or fictional? In all these centuries leading up to 1950/1951 we still don't know, but we can bake Sally Lunn bread and consider the thought of a recipe that has survived those many years.<br />
<br />
While the typical Sally Lunn made and sold at the tea house in Bath, England and the sister tea houses in Chester and Chatham,New Jersey, United States are a large bun or teacake made with a yeast dough and served warm with butter, the name is also applied to various unrelated breads in the US since the early 20th century. The latter would be the recipes we discovered in our booklets and we have decided to bake the Sally Lunn Bread recipe.<br />

We can't say enough good things about the flavor and texture of this bread! Of course we love it because of the cinnamon and brown sugar - a favorite combination in our family - but the bread recipe itself is sweet and satisfying. No doubt we'll be making this one for many years to come!<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Young men returning to the United States and Allied countries after World War II began families. The dramatic increase in the number of births from 1946 to 1964 in the United States is called The Baby Boom. During this time 79 million babies were born. That is an average of 4.2 million per year for the 19 year span compared to an average of 2.3 to 2.8 million per year in the 1930s to early 1940s.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And every one of those 79 million children needed to be fed. And every one went to school. So where could a housewife be frugal in her food budget? In our home with 4 young girls all attending school at the same time the answer was in packing school lunches. Although lunch was available at school, it did cost extra and our still growing family with a working father and a stay-at-home mother needed to save pennies in every way possible.</span></div>

The weather here in the piedmont of North Carolina has taken a decidedly autumn turn and leaves are already falling. Temperatures are mild and it's perfect for spending time in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
While our CBS Homemaker's Exchange Recipes booklets have several wonderful jam recipes, we were taken with an Apricot Ginger Conserve recipe in the April/May/June 1951 issue.<br />

A conserve, by definition, is a whole fruit jam or a mixture of fruits and/or vegetables. It may also include dried fruit or nuts. <br />
<br />
Our conserve recipe calls for Sunsweet apricots. We've seen Sunsweet dried prunes in the grocery store and are wondering if dried apricots is what we're using for this recipe. A little research leads us to a 1950 cookbook at auction with the following pages including the very recipe from our CBS Homemaker's Exchange Recipes booklet.<br />

It's an interesting thought that a fruit could be dehydrated for storage and distribution, and then rehydrated and preserved at home in a new recipe. We're excited to try it!</div>

The shopping trip is a real eye opener! Crystallized or candied ginger is usually available in the spice selections. We retired almost a year ago from a position where we managed retirement communities which included full dining services so we hadn't cooked or shopped for over two years. Of course it was sticker shock when we had to start shopping and cooking again, but no more shocking than in the spice aisle. And today was no different when we saw that candied ginger was $9.00 for a 2 ounce bottle! But fresh ginger root is reasonable and we decide to make our own candied ginger and buy a nice piece for 30 cents.</div>

To make candied ginger scrape the peel off the fresh root. Slice it into 1/8" slim slices and boil in water for 30 to 40 minutes until the ginger is soft. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Weigh your softened ginger and measure out an equal weight of sugar.<br />

But we are using them today for our Apricot Ginger Conserve. The lemon and orange rind is grated and added to the water and sugar and orange and lemon juices. The candied ginger is added.<br />

Yes, we kept some out for a taste test! What a glorious flavor! Some more internet searching and we found a NZ company that makes Apricot Ginger Conserve for $8.95 for 230g, about 8 ounces. They describe it as being served warm or cold. It can be spread on whole grain toast, scones, or on a cheese platter. They say it is perfect on its own or as a glaze for fruit tarts and other desserts. We can't wait to try all of that and will probably make the full batch next time.<br />

So now we just have to make one of those oh-so-memorable salads! For your culinary pleasure and tastebud experience, we present......<br />

What?! No applause or expectant sighs?! Not on this side of the computer either, but maybe part of the fun is in the molds, the jiggle, and the surprise of what's truly inside that transparent sugar-laden gel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gelatin has been around for centuries and has a multitude of uses. It is a protein substance derived from collagen, a natural protein present in the tendons, ligaments, and tissues of mammals. It is valuable as a basis in food processing jellied desserts, the preservation of fruit and meat, and to make powdered milk, merinque, taffy, marshmallow, and fondant. It is also used to clarify beer and wine. In industrial applications gelatin is used in making medicine capsules, photographic plate coatings, dying and tanning supplies, and paper production.</div>

A name we've come to know worldwide for the powdered flavored gelatin used in home cooking is Jell-O. In 1897 Mr. Pearle Wait, a carpenter, while working on a cough remedy and laxative tea, experimented with gelatin and came up with a fruit flavored dessert. His wife, May, named it Jell-O. In 1899 Mr. Wait sold the formula for $450. The sales and marketing success of the brand is an incredible story and told best by the Jell-O folks themselves.</div>

The Jell-O has to thicken slightly so while we've waiting I'll share a little of our personal history with you. This is a four-generation picture of my family. The baby is me, held by my great-grandfather Frank Hubbard Walker who was born August 24, 1865. My mother, Mary Ellen Case Sukanen born March 23, 1931. My grandmother Irma May Walker Case born March 17, 1897. 1897 - the same year Mr. Pearle Wait was developing Jell-O.</div>

This photo was taken in 1950. My father had epilepsy and although he and my mother had married, the state annulled the marriage since it was against the law for epileptics to marry, the thought being it was an inherited condition. As a result I went to live with my grandmother and grandfather while my mother went to a nearby larger city to work. Grandpa had been married and had 7 children when his first wife passed. He married my grandma and they had 6 children of their own. My mother was near the youngest of the second group and my blessed grandma had raised all 13 children and now was taking care of me. Most amazing was that she was doing this in a home in northern Wisconsin without running water or indoor plumbing. Everything was cooked and heated on the big wood stove in the kitchen, the well pump handle was part of the kitchen sink, and there was an outhouse a brisk walk from the house during the winter and chamber pots under the beds. It was a wonderful life! Well, to me it was!</div>

Back to the Lime Gelatin Salad - the Jell-O is partially thickened, all the veggies are diced, and the molds are prepared with a thin coating of oil. Since I don't have any true salad molds I'm using my dessert glasses, a leaf-shaped muffin pan, and a gingerbread village pan. Should be interesting shapes even if the flavor is not.</div>

While the molds are in the refrigerator for the final firming, I want to share with you something that was an absolute shock to me. Thinking back to 1950 to 1953 at which time my mother remarried, I lived with Grandma and Grandpa in the house without the plumbing. We heated all our water on the wood stove, washed clothes in wash basins with a scrub board and hung them on the clotheslines to dry, we heated the water and took baths in the big tub. For all these years I never thought about what might have been invented and available to the general public until I saw this page in the same recipe book I'm using in this Challenge.</div>

Range, refrigerator, dishwasher, automatic washer and dryer. I was stunned! "Hotpoint for better living - in '51 and the years to come." Did Grandma even know such things existed? Even as a pre-teen visiting her in that same house she was always so cheerful and seemed so satisfied and not wanting for anything. I still remember that fabulous Easter dinner made in the big wood stove. So The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread for me is our wonderful appliances!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Time to unmold our salads and taste test! The first is in the dessert cups. A short dip in hot water, a knife around the edge and unmolding is easy.</div>

The dessert cup didn't give much of a shape but Patrick tasted it anyway. He said "I hope you like it". Which means he doesn't. I'll admit, the mouthfeel is odd. The veggies are very crunchy but the gelatin is smooth and it took a few forkfuls for me to get used to it. But it is very fresh and refreshing. I added the mayo and pimiento to the top of a molded salad and the presentation is pretty. Blurry in this photo, but pretty.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Next I tried the leaf muffin pan molds. Again a short dip and they came out easily onto a flat plate. I took a spatula and moved them to the smaller, lettuce-lined plates. With some dressing I think this would be a nice serving. The mold created some great detail into the salad.</div>

Lastly, the gingerbread house mold. A dip in warm water and it, too, slid out easily. It would have been great fun to fill the entire gingerbread village and lay out fresh fruit and veggies throughout and serve.</div>

The vegetable gardens may still have a burst of tomatoes but with sudden thundershowers they are also likely to burst before they ripen. In the mountains the blueberries are thriving, and the apples are not yet ready, but there is one item you can find an abundance of at the local farmer's markets - sweet potatoes.<br />
<br />
Highly nutritious and versatile, the sweet potato has been cultivated for over 5,000 years possibly originating in central and south America. It is a tuberous root vegetable only distantly related to other potatoes. It is also distinct from a yam and even related to the morning glory and its skin and flesh come in a multitude of colors.<br />
<br />
The <em>CBS Homemakers Exchange Recipes </em>has 2 wonderful-sounding recipes and 1 recipe that sounds so strange we have to try it. Here is the pictorial story of The Sweet Potato Parade.<br />

But then Patrick should tell you the story...................<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"From the mid 1960's into the late 1990's, Bernice Murray, my Mom, was a well known Southern-style caterer in South Central North Carolina. While most of her catering events were in and around Anson County, it was not unusual to find her turning fried chicken and stirring cream style corn in banquet halls from Charlotte to Raleigh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now being a growing high school boy of sound mind and appetite, I knew where to find a good meal when there was catering going on. My Mom and Dad had the Friday/Saturday night dinner concession at our local Country Club and Bernice's staff was always preparing things for the upcoming catering events that weekend. Knowing better than to ask Bernice for a mere taste of whatever was on the stove, I would go directly to Laura-Ann, her head cook, and with a little sweet talking I usually walked out of the there with a plate full of supper. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But not this Friday night! Bernice intercepted me at the back door of the Country Club and told me that she was cooking for 500, not 501, and there was a pound of hamburger in the refrigerator at home. Fix yourself a burger and fries. Leave! So hungry and mad I drove back to our house, got out the hamburger, poured oil in the pot for french fries, turned on the burner, and for some unknown reason, decided I had time to do one math problem in my room while the oil heated up. Being math challenged, that problem took more time than I had figured on and I was suddenly interrupted from my calculations by a loud WHUMPH that came from the kitchen. I found the pot of french fry oil looking more like the tail end of a rocket with the flames reaching the underside of the wooden cabinet above the stove and curling around and up to the white ceiling. The stove top was completely engulfed in flames and dark, oily smoke filled the kitchen. Being a quick thinker and action oriented I ripped off my T-shirt and threw it over the flaming pot which smothered the flames for approximately .01 seconds but long enough for me to grab a gallon pitcher of sweet tea from the counter and doused the pot and the stove top in one desperate attempt at firefighting. Blazing oil and water...right...BUT IT WORKED!!! Hot, smoking oil was splashed everywhere in that kitchen. The stove was history. The cabinet was heavily charred and there was a black hole in the ceiling tiles above the stove. The smoke damaged five other rooms in the house. But worst of all...I had to call Bernice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being of sound mind and a big chicken, I called my Dad instead. Told him I had burned up the stove and some of the kitchen, don't tell Mama but come home...NOW! He made the five minute drive in under two. I am sure he asked me if I was all right in there somewhere but all I could think about was Bernice, who by now had figured something was up and was on her way home. With no chance to break the news to her in a controlled way, she walked right into a smoke filled, burned out kitchen and gave me the surprise of my life. She grabbed my shirtless self and gave me the biggest hug ever. She then looked me over to see if I was all right and found several small blisters coming up on my face and chest which I had not even felt. She told me she was thankful that I was all right and that insurance would cover most of the damage she was sure but now she had to figure out how to cook for all those people at the events that weekend. And so it goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
News spreads fast in a small little town and people were calling before the smoke cleared. How can I help? By noon the next day, Bernice had friends and neighbors cooking stuff all over the county. I'm sure everyone at the events got fed because I put several hundred miles on the company station wagon picking up string beans in Ansonville or apple pies in Morven. One thing for sure though...french fries have<em> </em>never tasted the same<em>."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So whether sweet twice baked, with graham crackers or prunes, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or even French fries, think of us when you next enjoy a potato!</div>

As we're learning, the ingredients in these mid-century recipes are usually simple. The combinations are what make them so tasty and in this pie, even with a base of soda crackers, there is a wonderful combination of nuts, lemon, cinnamon, and almond. We gather everything together...<br />

Fold the beaten egg whites into the other combined ingredients and place in a greased pie pan. The recipe called for an 8" but since I only had a 9" I expected some change to the look of the pie as well as a change in baking time.<br />

After the pie is cool (during which time we are both ready to eat eat eat!) we whip the whipping cream and drain and fold in the fruit cocktail. The pie cuts nicely and smells wonderful, but doesn't come out of the pie plate in a nice wedge. No matter, we are ready to eat!<br />

Seriously, you have to try this! It is sweet and the crunch of the nuts is heavenly! The soda crackers must be there just to hold everything together because we don't taste them at all. Four thumbs up!<br />
<br />
And who doesn't love whipped cream? We agree that at every age it was one of our favorite foods. It is a food group of it's own, isn't it?<br />

The name derived from Anglo-French <em>blanc manger </em>translated as "white food". First known use 1717.<br />
<br />
Sounds very French so that it fits the HFF Challenge for people currently living in the United States, but also sounds completely bland. But, if so, how has the recipe survived for these many years? And since the recipe is in our October/November/December 1950 CBS Homemakers Exchange Recipes, we are going to find out why.<br />

A little more research and we find the history from the ifood website <a href="http://www.ifood.tv/network/blancmange" target="_blank">ifood Explanation of Blanc Mange</a>:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Blancmange is a French pudding or dessert which had originated during the
middle ages. The Blancmange is also known as ‘Shape’, due to its typical shape
which is made out of moulds. The food received its name from the French word –
‘blanc’ which means “white” and ‘manger’ which means “eating” or “food.” It was
known as ‘white dish’ among the English Upper class. The traditional Blancmange
has a very mild flavor of fruit syrup, sauces or fresh fruits. It is believed
that the origin of the Blancmange recipe has been related to the Arab world, due
to the rich use of almond in the dessert. The dessert is commonly prepared with
milk or cream, sugar thickened with gelatin, cornstarch or Irish moss, and
almond flavored. The origin of Blancmange is not certain, the dish is claimed to have originated
as a result of introducing almonds and rice in pre- medieval Europe through Arab
trading. One of the oldest recipes found for the Blancmange is in German.
Several variations have been found for this recipe, including recipes from the
15th century.</em></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Scalding milk was generally done to destroy harmful bacteria but still has some great cooking advantages. If you are baking and need a large quantity of milk, scalding will destroy a protein that reduces volume in bakery. In our case scalding destroys enzymes that keep milk from thickening. Put the milk in a pan, heat on med-low until bubbles form on the edge of the milk and steam starts to be released.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After that it's a simple recipe although it takes close attention. The mixture thickens to a beautiful pudding consistency.</div>
