Cookbook Tuesday - Bond Bread Cook Book


General Baking Co.
1935

What can I say? I love bread!


I like the fact that if you have cookie cutters you can liven up the par-taaa! Don't make me bust out my automatic cookie gun!

It is difficult to tell from this old black and white photo but these are loaf bread cut outs.

Happy Cooking!

Cookbook Tuesday - Royal Fruit Gelatin Suggestions



Royal Baking Powder

1926


I like how they named this "suggestions".





Why are we serving tomato juice and lemon gelatin to people we love?





Really now! Do they actually think that gelatin is the perfect setting for a charming woman? I know something with a high alcohol content makes me charming, not gelatin molds. Maybe we should add some vodka to the recipe above to get the party started!





This is a very interesting excerpt. And Lord am I ever thankful the "gay nineties" over! What with their high bicycles and Wasp-waists! Bring on the stretchy pants!

Cookbook Tuesday - Bewley's Best Bakes Better & Some FunkyTown History

Bewley Mills
Fort Worth, TX
no copyright date


I fell in love with this cookbook because it is falling apart and I can tell that it baked up lots and lots of love every Sunday. This was purchased at an antique store in another state and I am tickled to death to know that I now own a little piece of Fort Worth history.


I would bow for you, I just made brownies, but my arm hurts.

Ladies, I posted this little piece of information for you! Because if you don't know how to bake correctly your cake is going to suck!






I haven't personally made this simple cake recipe but I think Gold Medal will work since Bewley's isn't in business any longer.

If you are in the mood for a little Fort Worth/Bewley Mills history check this out:

Cookbook Tuesday - Treasured Recipes of the Old South

by Mrs. Marie Kimball
1941

When I purchased this I didn't even open it up and rummage through the pages. I just liked the fact that some little rodent has taken a bite out of the pages and I thought that this must be a delicious little book! I have to admit that the recipes do sound appetizing; Kentucky Baked Ham with Raisins, Gloria's Glorified Tomatoes, Sour Cream Biscuits, and many more recipes filled with Southern goodness.
What caught my eye the most are the drawings. These are not politically correct by today's standards so don't yell at me.




Why is she wearing so many bows?
