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? -- The real Dr. Bruce posts with uni-berlin.de - individual.net |

'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. |
