Since Grandma was a woman of ample proportions, her cover-all apron was a big affair of dark, printed cotton, slow to soil, edged all around with bias tape. Its uses were limitless. The apron made a "basket" when she gathered eggs from the hen house, late in the afternoon. If there were fluffy, yellow chicks to be carried to the back porch during the sudden cold spells, they made the trip peeping contentedly, in Grandma's apron. When these same little darlings grew into hen-hood and liked to peck and scratch among Grandma's flowers, she merely flapped her apron at them and they ran squawking to the chicken yard. And I can see her yet, tossing cracked corn to the hungry flock from her apron. Lots of chips and kindling were needed to start fires in the big ivory colored cook stove in Grandma's kitchen. Sure, she carried them in her apron. Vegetables and fruits, too - lettuce, radishes, peas, string beans, carrots, apples, peaches - all found their way to the kitchen via Grandma's carry-all! While things were cooking, it was a handy holder for removing hot pans from the stove. If the men working in the field weren't too fqr away, the apron waved aloft was the signal to "come to dinner". At thr:eshing or company time, when the long dining room table was crowded with hungry folk, Grandma hovered about, passing aromatic dishes and flipping the big apron at pesky flies. When grandchildren came to visit, the apron stood ready to dry childish tears. If the little ones were a bit shy, it made a good hiding place in case a stranger appeared unexpectedly. The apron was used countless times to stroke a perspiring brow as Grandma bent over the hot wood stove, or hoed the garden under a blistering sun. In chilly weather, Grandma wrapped the friendly apron around her anns while she hurried on an outside errand or lingered at the door with a departing quest. Hastily, and a bit shyly, it dusted tables and chair if company was sighted coming down the lane. And, in the evening, when the day's work was done, Grandma shed her garment of many uses and draped it over the canary's cage. - Elaine Derendinger 4 NOTES §§§§§ TABLE OF CONTENTS APPETIZERS AND DIPS---- --------- 5- 8 Dips---------- - 5- 6 Appetizers---------- 6- 8 SOUPS, SALADS AND VEGETABLES-- 9-38 Soups 9-14 Noodles and Dumplings for Soup-15-16 16-V ~~s-- Dressings------ ---- 27-28 - Vegetables----- 29-38 MAIN DISHES------------------------- -- --------39-68 Meat, Poultry and Casseroles -------39-64 Fish----------------------64-68 BREADS-- ----------- ---------------- - 69-114 Holiday Breads---- -----69-76 Quick Breads --76- 79 Yeast Breads and Rolls 79-86 Sweet Dough, Kolaches and Fillings - 87-94 Coffee Cake, Sweet Rolls, Etc. 94-106 Doughnuts 107-110 Biscuits, Mix and Muffins 111-112 - Miscellaneous 112-114 DESSERTS------------------------------ ·--115-200 Bars-------------115-127 Cakes and Frostings 128-151 · Cookies 152-169 Pies -169-177 Tortes and Other Desserts 177-200 PANCAKES AND DUMPLINGS---------·--201-210 Pancake·s--------- 201-202 Dumplings ----------203-210 (Continued Next Page) TABLE OF CONTENTS (Continued) PICKLING, CANNING AND PRESERVING --------------------------211-226 Fruits ---------------------------------------------211 Pickles ------------------------------------------211-217 Re 1i shes------------------------------------218-220 Spreads---------------------------------220-221 Miscellaneo us---------------------------------222-226 BEVERAGES AND WINE ----------------------------------------------227-234 Punch-----------------------------------------227-229 Wine---------------------------------------------229-233 Miscellaneous---------------------------------233-234 MIC R0 WA VE---------------------------------------------------------235-242 Candy and Snacks-------------------------235-236 Soup ~.----------------------------236-237 Vegetables--------------------237-240 Miscellaneous-----------------------------240-242 MISCELLANEOUS ------------------------------------------243-252 Candy and Goodies-------------243-245 Gravies----------------245-246 Others -----------------247-252 INDEX------------------------------------------253-274 Printed and Bound by: POSTAfANNEX~ 1110 Midway Road n Menasha, Wisconsin 54952
