Ole-Timey Living: a cookbook
By Marty Davidson
Order this Book
|  |
Grandma Grace left me her collection of 1800's cooking recipes and her and Grandpa Ned's books of instructions for everyday living. With them was a note, “Suga, keep these for our future kin.” Recipes were vague, some from Great-Grandma Rachel's cooking during the Civil War era, such as Acorn Coffee, Crawdad Dumplins', Moonshine Custard. Instructions for everyday living included formulas and uses for Milk Paint, Rice Stucco, Toad Frog ointment, Ant Lotion for Impotency.
I recognized many of the cooking recipes as similar to food I was brought up on, and was told they had been updated through the years by relatives. Books on everyday living concerned ole-timey ways of doing normal, everyday things.
To save information in these disintregrating treasures, I assembled a book: old food recipes followed by the useable Modern Method, and placed excerpts from books for everyday living in the Appendix.
