Recipes From Yesteryear

[Addie]

This thread is a keeper. It has me rembering things I'd forgotten and this memory refresh is wonderful. Thanks Addie for starting it and mentioning Tomato Pudding,
kades

I am sitting here hankering for a Kindle. It was Snip that posted the recipe for Tomato Pudding. It brought back a flood of memories. Nothing in my mother's kitchen ever got wasted. A boiled dinner became Flannel Hash. And when we lived on the farm, the pigs were the garbage disposal. I remember my mother taking the little sink basket with the stopper in it, and she would even empty that into the slop bucket that stood outside.

(I grabbed the Swedish-English one--ever wonder how to make potato flour at home...this book has the instructions.)

I am so excited. I just found out I can download the app for kindle to my desk computer. And no charge. I have to call my son to get over here and help me. I was looking at the Medieval Cookery. I could spend the rest of my life in that one.
