POCAHONTAS PIE
I just came across this recipe that I have had since the early 70s. I used to make this and take it to my grandmother's house for our big family Thanksgiving celebrations.

ROSALYNN'S CHEESE RING
Here is another of the old recipe clippings from my late mother's recipe shoebox. This clipping doesn't have a date but it is easy to realize how old it is. This was printed while Jimmy Carter was the Democratic Presidential Nominee! Click on the picture for enlargement and easier reading.

ICE BOX ROLLS
How long has it been since you heard the term "Ice Box"? I can still vaguely remember going into town with my family and picking up the big ice blocks and watching Dad bring them home and carry them into the house with big ice tongs. There was a door at the bottom of the ice box where he put them. Can you imagine how inconvenienced we would feel today if we had to do that?
This is another recipe from my Marshall Township 1955 recipe book. This recipe was submitted by Mrs. Don Fish. Don was a local farmer and school bus driver whose children attended our school. I can remember him allowing us to have class parties at his farm and he would take us on hayrides in the Fall.
1 cake yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp fat
1 tsp salt
7 cups flour
Crumble yeast cake in bowl, add water, sugar, salt. Add 1/2 of the flour, then the melted fat. Add rest of flour. Mold into loaf and let raise until twice its size. Push down and put in ice box. Use as desired. Make into rolls and let stand 3-4 hours. Bake 20 minutes at 420 degrees.
(I wonder if it was really 420 degrees or if that is a misprint and it was 425 degrees?)

REMEMBER THESE?
Are you old enough to remember these calendars? I remember my grandpa did everything according to the Farmer's Almanac and he lived by these calendars. I was going through some old recipe clippings when I turned the recipe over and found this. Brought back lots of memories!

Old Ad From My Hometown
This isn't a recipe but something I came across worth sharing. This is an ad from the local newspaper in the town where I was born and grew up. We were so excited when the Satellite opened and we had an actual "fast food" place in town. This ad is from the mid 1960s. Imagine buying a ten cent hamburger today!

MOM'S 5-CUP SALAD
I love it when I come across old recipes in my mom's handwriting. Today I came across this recipe she had written on the back side of a sheet of notebook paper. It is especially meaningful to me today since she passed away ten years ago today.
