As I said, by the time I was around, no one talked much about the dairy. This little cookbook turned up in my parents' papers after they were gone.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-8220066697398971782011-04-17T10:14:39.652-04:002011-04-17T10:14:39.652-04:00I found that recipe book at Seminole Heights Antiq...I found that recipe book at Seminole Heights Antiques in Tampa a few years ago and purchased it for two dollars. I treasure it and have shared some recipes in it with a few of the current homeowners. They love knowing that a lady in 1931 living in their home entered that contest! Was that the only year a contest was held with a book? I have looked in antique stores since then and this is the only one I have ever found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-73937844212009838812010-04-20T14:12:57.394-04:002010-04-20T14:12:57.394-04:00Thank you, L.D. -- Marigold's a sweetie!

Custard was not a big part of my mother's repertoire nor is it in mine -- but that may change.<br /><br />Thanks, Alan and Silver Fox -- re recipe booklet: I'm lucky in that I come from a long line of packrats!<br /><br />Vagabonde -- a charming picture to think of you carrying your little container to the cremerie! Did your family have refrigeration at the time?

It is so nice that you have all this still with you. I left so many things behind when I came to the US, then when my mother moved to a retirement home she threw a lot away. I don’t remember the milk truck though. I remember having a little aluminum pot and going to the “crèmerie” at the corner of our street in Paris and getting my own milk.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-54160976071565260412010-04-19T15:21:03.505-04:002010-04-19T15:21:03.505-04:00Wonderful photo, and that booklet is a great item ...Wonderful photo, and that booklet is a great item to own!The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-42685591337754196092010-04-19T04:14:18.724-04:002010-04-19T04:14:18.724-04:00As always, a fascinating post.

Very spare and elegant -- kind of like Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor.<br /><br />Nana Jo -- I have inherited lots of old cookbooks -- so fascinating how cookery changes. Garlic, for instance, when it appears at all is used with such caution.<br /><br />Christine -- At one time I milked two cows twice a day. That's a lot of work but NOTHING compared to a big commercial dairy.

But because he lived so far "from town", even in the 70's the Milk Man drove out to the ranch. I remember their fridge always had a such a variety of dairy products--ice cream, buttermilk, butter, "sweet"milk as my PapaSchu called it, etc. <br /><br />What a different world that we live in today! :) I enjoy your posts.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440632162084471888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43185243143644970172010-04-17T22:27:17.657-04:002010-04-17T22:27:17.657-04:00Thanks, Barbara!

My little brothers and I would walk the cows to a meadow in the middle of woods. I can still feel the warm autumn sunshine on my skin, the brilliant light and the smell of potatoes cooked in the campfire. It was so quiet there, one could hear only the cicadas and birds, every now and then a twig falling. The later at times made us stop in the middle of our games and listen if somebody was approaching. <br /><br />I preferred herding to bringing the itchy hay and straw home. ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-64929508961591969842010-04-17T14:31:34.298-04:002010-04-17T14:31:34.298-04:00What a great post, complete with pictures and vint...What a great post, complete with pictures and vintage recipes!
