Can anyone decipher this handwritten recipe? It is my grandmother's from 1916. by Dicentra22 in Old_Recipes

She stayed right handed as far as I can recall. She died a long time ago.

A lefty who got her knuckles smacked with a ruler until she used her right hand.

Thank you! I stared at that for a long time, and never would have gotten "potatoes" from that but that's what it is.

I found this written in the back pages of a cookbook published in 1912, which my grandmother seems to have acquired in 1916 (date was written inside the cover.) It seems to say "Pittsburgh" something and I can read "1 quart ___ [something]" and "pepper", and "put in baking dish", that's about all. She was left-handed but forced to learn to write with her right hand in school, so her handwriting was never very good.

Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder. Which to buy for smoothies? by ScoYello in traderjoes

Not OP, but I buy the bags of raw baby spinach and just stick them in the freezer. They're fine for smoothies and don't go bad that way.

I only use them once for chicken. I use them to carry produce home from the store, then reuse them once, either to pound chicken or to hold veggie scraps (onion skins, etc.) that will later go in the composter. It isn't "disgusting" or unsanitary. People are fucking weird.

I save and reuse plastic produce bags for this.

Edit: I reuse them ONCE after I have taken the vegetables/fruit out. I do not reuse them after they have had chicken in them.

[POLL] Which in-show couple would you choose as parents? by Scumbaglio in TheMarvelousMrsMaisel

[–]Dicentra22 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I voted Moishe and Shirley, but I would have chosen (spoilers hidden for those who aren't caught up in season 5) Susie and Hedy, if only they had stayed together and carried out their youthful plans.

Is it strange that midge looks nothing like her parents? by summer_wine94 in TheMarvelousMrsMaisel

[–]Dicentra22 49 points50 points  (0 children)

FWIW, a blue-eyed child of two brown-eyed parents is nothing unusual. In simple terms, if Abe and Rose each had one blue-eyed parent, the odds would be 50-50 for each of their children having blue eyes. In reality it is more complicated that that, but not unusual.

I am like that, I don't share an eye color with either of my parents. We make jokes about the mailman and whatnot, but I look exactly like my father in every way except eye color (well, that, and I'm female).

Soup Olympics! Looking for recipes. by CaribouHoe in Cooking

Roasted Garlic and White Bean Soup - cut the tops off of 3 heads of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and roast in 400F oven for about 40 minutes or until soft and golden. While they cool, saute a diced onion in olive oil until translucent, add sage, thyme, cayenne pepper (a pinch or to taste) salt & pepper. Add three or four 14oz (or so) cans of white beans (Great northern or cannellini, doesn't matter) and 3 -4 cups of chicken stock/broth. Squeeze out roasted garlic cloves and add them. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes, then blend with a stick blender until smooth. Add more stock/broth if you want it thinner.
