Morning, as you can tell by now I have not inserted a lot of pictures, remember back in the good old days, cameras were a luxury that most people could not afford. So As you will see in my cook books you will get a lot of recipes, but not a lot of pictures. Also you are getting a lot of facts, history and stories. These will always be there and I love the history of the Midwest living. I am going to try to let the good old day stay alive. Like this recipe from around the 1860’s so please do not try to make this, HA.
