Indian Chutney
Date: October 31, 2005 | Discussion: No Comments
Finally found my chutney recipe in “Putting Food By” – 1979. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can use apples, peaches or pears depending what is in season. I think I actually used nectarines once. For directions re canning, use the latest Ball Blue Book method so as to not poison your [...]

Curried Chicken Salad

I used to make this for picnics in Central Park and often had to restrain Jerry from eating it all before we met up with our friends. It is based on the recipe from “The Loaves and Fishes Cookbook” by Anna Pump. I usually used homemade chutney and will post the recipe if I can [...]

Looking for Recipes
Date: October 26, 2005 | Discussion: No Comments
I have collected a few more recipes but there are still lots missing that should be in a family cookbook. Who can forget Monty’s Chicken a la Rain, or Chicken a la Sand and Sarah as the little crepe maker? But we need the recipes so that today’s generations can enjoy them, or not – [...]

Minestrone Romano
Date: October 26, 2005 | Discussion: No Comments
From the October, 1970 issue of Gourmet Magazine. It looked very good on the cover. I first made this in 1971 and fondly remember it, although I have not made in over 20 years. I probably wasn’t able to find fresh basil back then, and, for a large group would have doubled the recipe. Today [...]

Pulled Bread

Great to go with soup on a rainy day. I think Mom has also made this. I am now looking for my best minestrone recipe.
This version I found in “A Cookbook for Poor Poets and Others†by Ann Rogers, 1966. It is a very fun cookbook of its time and has some acceptable recipes.
“Use some [...]

hot fudge sauce
Date: October 18, 2005 | Discussion: No Comments
Remember Wowies’s E-Z 7 minute fudge that never fudged after 7 hours? Remember pulling taffy with out hands all buttered up? Remember Wowie making bayberry candles?
This sauce is reminds me of Rehoboth. It’s so good, so easy, and so addictive. It’s the kind that hardens when it hits the cold ice cream.
Take 2 cups of [...]

I have uploaded the family cookbooks, “A Family of Cooks” on the information page of annbarryphotos.com along with “Mom’s Birthday Celebration Book”. Even though I squished the Birthday Book as small as possible, it is still a huge file, so don’t try to download it unless you have a very fast connection. I’ve [...]

Crabbing at Oak Orchard
Date: October 14, 2005 | Discussion: No Comments
We crabbed using fish heads as bait and filled up peach baskets with crabs to take back. They always escaped and we would find crabs in the shower or a closet for days. I always sat in the front seat going back since it was safer.
This picture shows Scott and Philip Laird, Barbie Hinkson, [...]

Ann- I think I got it- but life without the Abester to figure out all this computer stuff is a constant challenge. Did this work? Here goes…
