I turned nostalgic at Christmas, and exploring a passed-on family cookbook, created some of the recipes my mother (nee Virginia Fowler), and probably her mother and grandmother, made. Her applesauce fruit cake was a winner. Their yeast rolls were made with cakes of yeast from a bakery, but adapt to the dry kind o.k. The 'depression cake' is highly nutritious, and relatively easy to bake. "Cousin Cora Law's" vegetable casserole may have frozen vegetables instead of fresh, and it is still good. My family had two Christmas observances (his and hers) and I cooked for both. If anyone collects family recipes and wants a copy of any of these or others from time past, just let me know. Kay
