Elsie's Kitchen: September 2008
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Monday, September 22, 2008. How 'bout a date? I remember these being on-hand anytime we went to Grandma's house. She had a ribbed clear glass plate with concentric painted circles that she used as a cookie plate when time came for a snack. I have the plate now in my cupboard; maybe I should fill it up! 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/2 cup white sugar. Cream; add 1 egg, salt, vanilla and 3 tbls. milk. Add salt and lemon.

Elsie's Kitchen: The Missing Pieces
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/08/missing-pieces.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Wednesday, August 13, 2008. I've read lots of cookbooks, old and new - I love to see what flavor combinations people come up with and the variety of ingredients they use. I was at first surprised by the paucity of instruction in older cookbooks. Though I first thought, "Why didn't my grandmother include "time and temperature" in Lena's Swedish Tea Ring? I've been reading Kitchen Literacy. I grew up on a farm outsid...

http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/08/for-christine.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Wednesday, August 20, 2008. My brother finally told me about my niece's blog (we share a fascination with chickens, though she has beaten me to the henhouse). Now, what to do with all those persimmons. I present this recipe just for you, kid! No, I'm not going to climb that ladder either). 1 qt ripe persimmons. 1-1/2 pts. gran. sugar. Butter, size of egg. 2 qts sweet milk.

Elsie's Kitchen: November 2008
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Friday, November 21, 2008. My grandmother loved desserts (I think it's genetic) so her recipe book is pretty heavy on the sweets. I've been a bit amused by some of the ingredients that desserts were built around. This one is one of my favorites, if only for the name. 2 tables. cornstarch. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Yarmando: A Glimpse at Don.

Elsie's Kitchen: Mmmmm, sauerkraut!
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/01/mmmmm-sauerkraut.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Thursday, January 1, 2009. Here's half of the lucky pork-and-sauerkraut combo; I remember seeing this on my grandmother's table but I know I wouldn't have touched it on a bet as a child. I've learned to like sauerkraut since then, so I might give this a try sometime. 1 can (1 lb. 13 oz.) sauerkraut, drained. 1 medium onion, diced. 1 green pepper, diced. 1 small can pimientos, diced.

Elsie's Kitchen: August 2008
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Friday, August 29, 2008. My grandfather had Parkinson's. He was always quiet; I remember sitting on his lap to be tickled, and laughing with him, but I don't remember him without the tremors or the illness. Parkinson's robbed him of his strength and his voice several years before he died in 1970. 1 cup white sugar. 1 cup brown sugar. 1/2 tsp. cream tartar. 1/2 tsp. vanilla. 1 cup nuts, raisins or cocoanut. The 2 pu...

Elsie's Kitchen: Names taken, recipes filed
http://elsieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/08/names-taken-recipes-filed.html
From my grandmother's house: "This is Elsie's kitchen. If you doubt it, start something.". Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Names taken, recipes filed. The photo on the header above is from my grandmother Elsie's handwritten recipe book. I don't know how old it is. I suspect parts of it were written in the 1950s when "Jell-O" salads reigned supreme for putlucks and get-togethers, because there are lots of "Jell-O" salads in here. 1 cake compressed yeast. 1-1/2 cups lukewarm water. 1/2 cup melted fat. I grew up ...
