Dream Whip Icing

Because it's my resident-tomato-hater-hubby's birthday tomorrow,

I thought Dream Whip Icing

would be an appropriate recipe card to pull from the box and post today.

I don't know if this is the same icing that was made green every year for his cake.

But it sounds deliciously light.

And totally dreamy!

Sorry.

Really I am.

It has been a long Monday! 

Fried Navajo Indian Bread from Mrs. Robert Pacheco (like Sopapillas)

I MUST TRY THIS! 

First, let me start by saying that we are talking about American Indian Fry Bread...not the flatbread variety!

We had Fried Indian Bread when we traveled to the Southwest last summer.

I had had some before that. 

I make some for my resident tomato hater hubby to take along on hunting trips.

But they are NOTHING like the Indian Fry Bread we had last summer! 

 Unfortunately I have no clue what paper this is from, which makes it hard to give any credit, where credit is due.  Maybe the Alberquerque, New Mexico paper?  June Vissotzky and her crew lived there for a short while.  It would make sense!  This clipping is a little hard to read,

so here is the typed recipe. I'll post some pictures later after I make this recipe! 

Mrs. Robert Pacheco, whoever you are, wherever you are, THANK YOU!!!!

 4 cups unsifted flour

1 teasoon salt

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/4 cup lukewarm water

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. 

Add water and knead throughly. 

Cover and let stand 10 minutes.

Roll dough into balls about 2 inches in diameter and roll out flat with a rolling pin into a circle.

Cut two slashes in the center of the circle and ease it gently in to the hot grease in a frying pan.

Fry the dough until both sides are browned.

Serve with salt

(my note - also delicious with honey, or sugar and cinnamon!  Enter the danger zone at your own risk!!!)

Makes 10-12 servings. 

Calendars, Advertising, Rexall Multivitamins, Alaska, and Robert E. Lee

This gem was on the backside of one of June Vissotzky's recipes.

I couldn't help myself! I HAD to scan it in!

Especially when I read about the Rexall Children's multi-vitamins having

liver concentrate and iron.

LIVER CONCENTRATE! 

You don't hear about those two ingredients anymore in children's vitamins...

much less adult vitamins.

Maybe we need to go back to those ingredients...

You didn't hear about as many ear infections back then, that is for sure! 

This corner of the calendar was from January -

because January 19 is Gen. Robert. E. Lee's birthday.

Now there is a gentleman -

would be fascinating to look up his genealogy and how it was done!

Vissotzky Roasted Peanuts

Why buy the "little peanut man" peanuts when you can roast your own,

and flavor them to your own liking?

I'm just sayin'!

Nothing against little peanut characters, mind you!

I wouldn't want them to rise up against me!

Just be sure to note that you are to leave the peanuts in an UNLIGHTED oven...

maybe they are afraid of the light? 

Meet Mrs. Clyde Stuart and her Pecan Pie from Fayetteville (NC, GA,??)

This sounds ALMOST like my "never going to try another pecan pie recipe in my life" recipe.

Ok...

Maybe I'll try this one.

But that's just to see if it is as wonderful as my stand-by recipe for pecan pie.

I just wanted you to know that.

Banana Bread

Forgive me while  I drool.

I can't believe I have no bananas in the house! 

I MUST get some.....

Shawnee Oklahoma; Canadian, Oklahoma; Dallas, Texas, and points inbetween!

I am guessing this photo was taken around the 1970's? 

A lot of the recipes in heritage recipe Box #1 are from her.

And boy, could she cook!

I don't think her cupboard was ever bare!
