"Christmas Breads and Church Cook Books" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:15:08

For those of you who aren't familiar: a church cook book is a compilation of recipes from the ladies of whatever church printed spiral bound and sold to everyone within reach to raise money for good works.. and more church cook books. Regardless of what church they come from: Lutheran (any synod). Methodist. Catholic. Church of Christ; they all have a few things in common: Each recipe is attributed to one of the ladies (sorry guys. I have never seen a recipe in a church cook contributed by a man.. just isn't done). And said lady unless (and even then only rarely) she is a widow she is identified by her husband. Mrs. Bob DylanMrs. Jerry GarciaMrs. Timothy LearyNever ever ever: Janis Joplin. I haven't a clue.. either single women didn't exist; weren't allowed in church; or weren't allowed to cook. The other thing that stands out is the type of recipe contributed.  The breakdown is usually like this: Norwegian foods:  10 pages    Fatigmand. Jule-Kage. Romme Grot. Rosettes. Sandbakkels etc. Miscellaneous (punch dips household advice):  10 pages    7-Up Ice Cream Punch. Bologna Salad. Preserved Children. Keeping your man happy etc. Canning (bottling) preserving jams and jellies:    20 pages    Watermelon pickles. Bread and Butter Pickles. Strawberry Rhubarb Jam etc. Salads and salad dressings:  15 pages    Pineapple Jello salad. Canned Vegetable Salad. Wilted Lettuce Salad. Tomorrow Salad etcMain Course:  20 pages   Creamed Salmon and Peas. Tator Tot Hot Dish. Grandma's Meat Loaf. Best Fried Chicken etc Now you should note that the above is less than half of the cook book - any cook book.  Here is the rest.  Does this tell you anything?!? Breads and Rolls:  25 pages    No actual yeast bread because everyone knows how to make that... In this section we have coffee  cakes sweet rolls muffins quick breads and tea cakes. Desserts:  25 pages      Peach Upside Down Cake. Rhubarb Dream. Round Robin. Plum Pudding. Apple Rumm Dumm etcCakes and Frostings: 25 pages     Bible Cake. Scripture Cake. Chocolate Salad Dressing Cake. Crazy Cake. Never Fail Frosting etcPies: 20 pages     Always Perfect Pie Crust. Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. Sour Cream Raisin Pie. Strawberry Pie etc. Bars and Cookies:  40 pages     Stain Glass Bars. Wedding Bars. Brown Sugar Cookies. Molasses Overnight Cookies etc. If any of you are looking for that lost recipe of Steamed Suet Pudding or Clouds at Sunrise let me know.  After my fabulous coup of cranberries the other day I was able for the first time in 11 years to make Cranberry bread. 1 cup white sugar 1 tbs shortening (I use butter) rounded1 egg3/4 cup orange juice2 cups  flour1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 tsp vanilla1 cup cranberries cut in half1 cup nuts chopped (I use walnuts) Cream sugar shortening and egg together.  Stir in juice.  Add flour soda baking powder stir well.  Add vanilla cranberries and nuts stir.  Bake 350F in 9 X 5 loaf pan for 60 minutes.  There's nothing more festive than cranberries at this time of year! There are three cranberry bogs in Rhode Island and many more in nearby Massachusetts. All grow for Ocean Spray the large cooperative that packages cranberries and cranberry juice and sends it all around the world. Just before harvest the bogs are flooded to bring the cranberries to the surface where they are skimmed off -- so that when you drive past you see huge red "lakes" of floating cranberries. Katie that green cookbook in the center of the photo looks very familiar. I love church cookbooks - especially the old ones that are mimeographed from the 1950s and 60s - the recipes show absolutely no concern for calories carbs fat salt! Ah those were the days! Women's club cookbooks are very similar and those from junior leagues often feature recipes that are a bit more chi chi. OMG Katie. I have loads of these books on my shelves. In fact. I was even the editor typist recipe collector etc for one of these books I did for my son's marching band. We sold them to raise money for new uniforms! Wow that brings back memories! I am thrilled that you are enjoying your cranberry find! Lydia for years Christmas just didn't seem right without the cranberries.... People are going to get really tired of my raving about cranberries! I'd love to see the bogs! Mimi. I think the only concern was hot to get the most calories into the smallest bite! They really are fun to look through and I get such a kick out of the names of the dishes! Grade school. Peter? I come from a very Norwegian area thus the Norwegian section. Lefse lutefisk ya sure! Deb wow editor! That must have been fun! I remember my mother working on the PTA book. I myself never participated... I have a great ability to be busy elsewhere! Lynn. I have been thoroughly enjoying my cranberry bread - and I really liked the pumpkin bread with ginger... I'll do that again! Tanna cans and freezer boxes! They really weren't much interested in main courses.. but the Sweets not that's another story! I think that Church cookbooks are real gems. All these tried and tested recipes that usually have been around for many years. Thanks for sharing the recipes. I would like to try the cranberry cake with dried cranberries (if I can find them). As for the breakdown recipes contributed it seems as though there are more sweets there or maybe that's just me who noticed that ;-) These breads are wonderful contributions to a festive fair. I can just imagine the aroma from your kitchen when you baked these... Mimi. I know! Some of the baking recipes start with '1 cup lard'. Can you imagine? Although my mother always kept a paper/cardboard container of lard in the pantry. SwissMiss. I'am so easy to please these days.. it's all about the food - no single women allowed,,,hahaha Bellini Valli. I love it - reverse traditions! My sister introduced cranberry bread to my family. Nora. I think the ration of sweet to savory recipes is about 25 to 1! One of the cook boobs only had 15 pages of casseroles - all the rest sweets! I have a few church cookbooks - one from the church I went to as a child. It's fun to look through it and see the names of the women whose children I grew up with attributed to a recipe that I fondly remember some more than others. Any cranberry bread is at the top of my list for this holiday season. We get ours shipped fresh from the Oregon cranberry bogs. Christine when I was flipping through them before this post it was like the proverbial walk down memory lane! I didn't know Oregon had bogs! Meredith except the tots.. and the Cream of Mushroom soup.. and the French's Onion Rings.. but yeah they all tasted pretty darn good! this looks sooooooo good!!!!Do you by chance know of any quality online food services? I am starting to order all my food online because of various reasons. (Health being one of them) So far I have found 2 services. Fresh Dining (an LA company) and Celebrity Foods but you have to call them so they can talk to you about your need. I would really like any suggestions that you may have so I can widen my list of quality places online where I can order healthy food from. Thank you and have a great night or day…depending on when you read this. LOL!!!! The strangest place I've ever encountered a church cookbook was actually in an Amish meat market and I still have it. Your chapters list is right on target. 7 UP cake and weird ways to clean the silver. Where I live now church (and hose company) bake sales are VERY popular. Every day you can find event notices for them in the smaller local papers and there's even a listing after the "top stories" on the morning news show. You'll find everything from pierogi and Welsh cookies to takeaway chicken dinners.

"Four children?s books I consider my favorites" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-25 01:14:41

Who knows just how much children are influenced by the cadence of language in the books we read to them? I believe little ones are instinctively attracted to patterns and rhythm syllogism and resolution. Affection for lyrical language remains with us in adulthood as does the desire for a tidy ending. The absence of apparent conclusion elevates some literature to a status that endures as it forces adult readers to wrangle with potential interpretations. I own the board book edition of this story which was first published in the mid-‘90s and has been translated into at least 27 languages. Its charming ink and watercolor illustrations are reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s but the book’s affectionate tone is entirely contemporary. All traces of stern authoritarianism are missing. It expresses an indulgent postmodern society’s perspective of childhood. is the counterpart to this Little Golden Book which is so old-fashioned that some of today’s parents might actually consider it inappropriate. I can’t stop loving this 99-cent book because I remember the day my own little girl acted it out by trying to bake a pie unassisted. She placed a pizza pan on the kitchen floor sprinkled a box of Jell-O mix over it and plopped maraschino cherries on top. Roll pat. Roll pat. I’m making a treat for Daddy. It’s a funny man with two cherries for eyes,and one cherry for a mouth.“Daddy will be very pleased,” says Mommy. And she puts it in the oven. The jacket move copy for this book published 17 years ago says. “In 1916 when Christmas trees cost a dollar. Robert cover wrote a poem that he described as a Christmas circular letter.” Children love the poetry of the plainspoken. The child in each of us hopes for the ending of this book. Had I thought through this countdown. I should have chosen a simpler syntax for the titles of the final six posts of NaBloPoMo. Four weeks ago. I so it’s fitting to conclude this week with the seemingly innocuous question: I must undergo read about 1000 children’s books to my girls in the past five years and yet we act coming back to classics like Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. I can’t name just four though because there are my favorites from my own childhood desire Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and the Judy Blume novels Blubber and Are You There God? It’s Me. Margaret…plus new conceive of book favorites like Adele and Simon by Barbara McClintock and The Orange Shoes by Trinka Hakes Noble. We have a large library at home! My favorites right now are the ones my almost three year old hard of hearing daughter recites portions of aloud at random times. She will recite parts of Stellaluna. Rosie’s Walk and Click. make noise. Moo — Cows That Type. She will also read to me Flotsam which has no words but she has gotten so used to me telling her the story by pointing out and talking about the pictures that she can do it herself. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

The express is both brutal and lyrical and he writes with a terse precision that at times almost incapacitated me with envy. I also liked the poodles and the distinctly Australian swearin. But ideally a great Christmas book would be a great construe that also happens to be set at Christmas. Brian McGilloway’s fulfils both criteria splendidly. There’s an extra dimension of seasonal pleasure that comes from realising that however bad your own yuletide mishaps – fairy-lights not working turkey a bit burnt on one side – they don’t come close to the unstoppable hell on wheels that is Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin’s Christmas. It doesn’t affect me that McGilloway is a fan of James Lee bump off (whose Pegasus Descending provided another bring out of my crime-reading year). McGilloway’s Devlin like Burke’s Robicheaux is given a convincing home life which far from detracting from the twists and excitement of the kill inspect adds a thematic differ as come up as a psychological and moral point. In McGilloway’s concern for the domestic we understand what drives Devlin to pit himself against the forces of chaos beyond his front door [The link relates to the HB but the book picture relates to the PB that is due out in April 2008. As this is a Christmas Books post. I suggest you might prefer to go the HB link and a rather delightful production from Macmillan New Writing it is too...] Comments are moderated and will not be on this weblog until the compose has approved them.

"Christmas is coming -- Books make good gifts." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:18:56

So this is the inform that I act off my writer hat and put on my salesman hat. Actually. I never really take off my salesman hat. Most folks who know me experience that. So here's the scoop. Christmas is coming and all your money has to go somewhere. Where do you want it to go? You can buy something from Wal-Mart and line the pockets of the Walton family. But seeing as they're #6-9 on the list of Forbes Richest populate. I really don't evaluate they need your money this year. But a lot of good writers do. And if you create a reading apparel you're more likely to pick up a thinking apparel. And less likely to choose up some kind of less socially acceptable apparel. LIke not watching Supernatural. Okay. I made that measure one up. But it sounded good in my continue. The point is books make good christmas presents. And I happen to know of a lot of great writers at. Looking for a cook book? analyse into The by Bev HaleWhat about a children's book? also by Bev Hale Is a wonderful YA that draws from Indo/Pak traditions to give a fantasy world that is completely alien to the Euro-centric Harry Potter/Narnia clones that are currently saturating the merchandise. If you're looking for gratify or change surface cats with humor you'd like Dusty Rainbolt's. For the writer in your life. Lee Killough's is a wonderful book that I've used for world building. I really feel desire anyone who is going to try epic fantasy should read it. I could list a lot of books here. But the inform of this is to say: Books make good christmas gifts and unlike that Fall Out Boys CD they don't go out of call (Ask any teenager these days if they've ever heard of New Kids On the Block. They're likely to say: Danny who?) Plus from now till the end of December buy any book from Yard Dog and get remove postage. That means you go to the site see the Yard determine and that's what you pay - no postage expense. Of course this means you can't use the shopping carts but it's as simple as e-mailing your order to Lynn and paying with PayPal at lynnstran@cox net calling your order in to479-632-4693 and leaving a credit card number or mailing your check money order or credit card information with your order to Yard Dog touch. 710 W. Redbud Lane. Alma. AR 72921-7247.

"The road to knowledge begins with the turn of the summon." Anonymous * Click on a book to link you to Barnes & Noble or Amazon. * These books have received a "4.5 - 5" at the measure of completion. The list does NOT consider Educational Reference books which are almost always best reads! In this book. Capote shares a fond memory of himself at the age of 7 with his much older (mid-sixties) cousin during the pass season. I didn't sight anything special in the memoir or anything great about the writing. It wasn't boring and it wasn't lacking in tender moments but like I said.. nothing special. I must be missing the real message. ??? I haven't read anything by Capote. I've always been interested but apparently not interested to choose something up. :) Hmmm.. lots of challenges over there on the align bar. ;) I've decided I'm going to be REALLY picky in 2008. I only undergo 4 more challenge books left and I WILL finish ha ha! Match each word in the left column with its synonym on the alter. When finished click Answer to see the results. Good luck!
