Didn't mean to have that previous post be at the top of the page for so long. Oh well. Tonight I finally got the rest of this 16-page recipe booklet from 1955 (1961 reprint) posted on Flickr (the full set is here). It's from the National Dairy Council out of Chicago...and does seem to have a lot of dairy in the recipes, now that I think about it. Adorable front and back cover, lots of basic kitchen tips, many decent recipes and some terrifying ones, as is standard for this era. (Well, prunes aren't bad per se, but "Prune Whip with Ice Cream?" For kids?)
I've made soup from scratch several times this year already and I'm quite happy about this. It's easy and it makes meals for days. Going to Soup and Bread nights at the Hideout in Chicago (okay, only been to one so far) has inspired me even more in soup-making.
Ugh, so much to catch up on. I might be inside a lot the next couple days blogging, what with the weather, and waiting to buy a CTA pass. This weekend is the last weekend (in over 20 years!) that Metra passes will be $5 (going up to $7, still probably the best transit bargain in the U.S.) so I need to make it out at least on Sunday...

Hi, my name is Lynne Fort, and I'm contacting you because Erin Watson (my cousin) gave me your blog URL. I'm writing an article for my journalism class (I'm a freshman at Northwestern) about winter weather and the effects it has on buildings, specifically older/inner-city buildings. Erin told me that you've lived all over Chicago and have a lot of experience with this subject, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a 10-15 minute (tops) phone interview with me about it? Also, do you know anyone else who would be willing to talk with me? Please contact me as soon as possible at lynnefort2013@u.northwestern.edu even if you can't help me.
Thanks!
