For those of you who enjoy seeing antique line drawings and possibly using them for the purpose of embroidery, Jim has scanned and cleaned up some (cooking-related) images from an 1890 catalogue for stamped, perforated patterns, and has added them to recipe files he previously placed on our website.
Jim loves to cook and he is very improvisational about it. All I had to do was to mention “Chicken and Dumplings” this week, and he came up with his own delicious recipe, using ingredients we had on hand. The dish was a meal in one, as well as quick and easy, utilizing left-over mashed potatoes, frozen vegetables, broth, and the meat from 1/2 of a small chicken that we had for lunch. “Waste not, want not!” In fact, that is exactly what one of the motifs says.
We are always striving to make your visit to our site a pleasant one. I suppose people are baffled by all the information we so freely share. Our site is one way that we can provide quality materials for learning, and that is a goal. We are avid readers, and people who pay attention to the world around us, process details, and try to make sense of it all.
