But they might have much of that preserved for uses when outside of
apple season.

I get the impression from perusing old depression era recipes that
having 2 or more apple trees in the yard (plus other fruit trees
suitable to the area) was fairly common.

A lot of the 'recipes' are also for preserving fruits in season then
followed by recipes to use them through the year.

Full of funny phrases too like 'beat the egg whites until they submit
to the Lord and make nice peaks' (sounds faintly blasphemous now but
must not have been percieved so at that time as it's in a church
cookbook).

LOL, I did too. Our grandparents and their parents had some pretty
different ways of expressing things.

Hw about 'Bring it to a slow simmer like you are walking a very old
dog'. Laughed at that one! It's actually on the back of a letter sent
back to my real grandmother (her's is on the flip side and it's the
depression so they reused the other side for a return letter).

Grandma was long gone before I was born but she had a beloved terrier
who they think lived to be near 30? Who knows but it was a referance
to the dog and a friend who would have known what that meant on making
a slow rise in temp to a low simmer.

I'm not sure what it was referring to as it is obviously in referal to
a previous letter.

Sadly, all those records are long gone now.

Do you also have a fake grandmother? Was she not really your
grandparent or was she really your grandfather?

Master doctor, why not stick to sniffing her ass, and leave her
grandparents alone. You are pitiful.

'Bruce' has gender identity issues. He cannot accept his hidden
tendencies and be *** (happy), thus he lashes out at everyone.

He is afraid to even mention his last name in the manner normal for a
mentally stable contributing member of society, such as you & me for
example.

LOL, sorry but the 'whatever' was KF'd but he seems to want to talk
about my Grandmother? I was a bit late born to a mother a bit late
born. All grandparents on both sides were gone before I was born.
