Welcome to our Blog!!!!

Our family has two handwritten recipe books- one from my great grandmother and the other possibly from her mother.

This journal will document my kids (Emily and Suzanne) and my (Linda) efforts to figure out the handwriting, unfamiliar ingredients and measurements and make the recipes in these books.

What we've done... (not much yet!! XD)

The preliminary doings:
  • Hole punched all those papers and slipped into a binder
  • Went through the whole process of making a blog ( yes, it is a whole process even though it's supposed to be easy...{mom is never satisfied})
  • ....that's it.....
--Emily

What's next:
  • First recipe in the larger book is Brown Bread (Mrs Hayden's). We'll start with that but then jump around since the book was handwritten mostly all at once and in order by category.
  • Need to figure out: 'sour milk just turned', salaeratus, indian meal, pan type, oven temperature setting.
