A treasure.

I have my grandmother's Watkins cookbook from the 1940's.


Grandma Nellie Slater Tiffany passed away quite young, when I was quite young. It is a treasure to me to see her writing in this book.


I was looking through the cookbook recently on my hunt for a good oatmeal cookie. I found some rather interesting recipes. 




Here is good nutrition via 1940.


But look what I found in grandma's writing.


I think it would be fun to try this recipe!

Just might do that soon.

Oh, the bathroom battens are all puttied and caulked. Yay!

  2. I agree there are quite a few odd recipes in there - things I've never heard of, like Fermanlactol and dissolvents. So interesting. I love making old recipes - makes you feel connected with the past.

  3. Egg gruel sounds so yummy! NOT! :) It's so funny what was an acceptable recipe name back then versus now.
