1940s curry! Not bad, but modern variants are much better in my opinion... (paper bowls not because we‘re environmental terrorists, but because our well water is currently contaminated with e. coli! Good times!)

mcipher Oh, no, how awful! Hope you get the water fixed soon. 6y
RebL How do you treat well water when it‘s contaminated? 6y
MinDea Oh no! How do you fix your well water from the contamination? 6y

hgrimes @RebL @MinDea I actually have no idea. It‘s the landlord‘s problem to fix, but we were asked to leave the sink running for two days to help drain the water storage tanks. Having lived in California for a number of years previously, that was incredibly anxiety inducing. Now they keep having to come inside when we‘re at work to test the water... 6y
RebL I would hate that too. 1. I live in a desert and 2. I am super private. 6y
hgrimes @RebL I really hate it and worry they‘ll let the cats out. It‘s been going on a week now. They also took two days before bothering to tell us about our water. I‘m ok but my husband was wicked sick for 2 days earlier this week with classic e. coli symptoms. 6y
RebL 🤮 6y

Herb sauce from the 1940s!

readordierachel Neat! What's in it? 6y
hgrimes @ReadOrDieRachel tomatoes, white wine, mushrooms, garlic, onions, evoo, broth, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, parsley, basil, thyme, marjoram! (edited) 6y
readordierachel Sounds interesting. Hope it was good! 6y
hgrimes @ReadOrDieRachel It‘s flavorful and just a little different from your typical tomato sauce. I stuck it in the slow cooker and the flavors blended nicely. 6y

Antique cookbooks are always highly entertaining.

#OldCoolBooks #monograph

Catch up from yesterday. I don't know if a cookbook can be considered a monograph but since this 1945 one is "...devoted entirely to dishes which the author believes taste better when herbs are used." I'm going to go for it. ?The "Fashion Is Spinach" book that it is compared to on the cover blurb is a classic autobiographical critique and expose of the fashion industry that sounds pretty cool too.

Lindy I‘m envisioning clothing made entirely of fresh greens from the garden... 😜 6y
DebinHawaii @Lindy That title does conjure up that image! 🤣🌱👗🌿 6y
Linsy @DebinHawaii @Lindy 😂😂😂 Thanks for the laugh! 6y

#QuotsyMay18 #sage ?

Going for the herb sage with quotes from this little cookbook, published in 1939. My edition is from 1945.

About the proverb, above:
"This much-quoted couplet gives Sage its traditional significance of immortality. Also the wise one ages ago believed that if the household prospers, the Sage about it grows strong, especially if the wife rules the house. But just keep that fact under the hat, for it is dangerous knowledge."

Day19 #feistyfeb #boughtonvacation When you try to set up a quick back drop for a cookbook pic on the couch & someone comes out & decides the bed tray & apron would be a comfy spot to take a nap. Sigh...?❤️I don't buy a lot of books on vacation but I do make pilgrimages to Powell's & other used book stores when I visit family in PDX. This little 1945 cookbook is full of recipes/lore about herbs. Who can resist a chapter titled "Cockle Warmers?"?

DebinHawaii The other books in the upper right are also used cookbooks (my weakness) bought in Portland: Recipes for Living in Big Sur (not in the Litsy system) and Fashionable Food tagged below: (edited) 8y

Laura317 Bless it! He's like, "what? You didn't put this here for me?" 8y
DebinHawaii @Laura317 I do have to love the satisfaction he seems to take in jumping in there and circumventing my plans! 😼❤️ 8y
