We're still sort of off topic, but . . . . I figured I'd share some old recipes from my local cookbook collection, in case somebody was a relative. I know I'd commit who-knows-what to get some of my family's old recipes. My mother decided in about 1985 that she had a heart condition (she did not), and cleaned out her recipe file, throwing away all recipes that called for more than a smidgen of fat. This was a woman who used to win prizes for her cakes, and her mother's pies and cream puffs were. . . . *sigh* I'll try to answer the questions I received onlist and offlist: When mom needed sour milk, she just added a teaspoon of vinegar per cup of fresh milk. 1/2 cup of cocoa wouldn't make the cake chocolaty enough for modern tastes. (Same with fudge brownies, and I know because I've tried a bunch of old recipes, trying to duplicate my mother's very dark chocolate brownies.) I couldn't find a recipe in the old cookbooks for chocolate cake using mayonnaise as the fat ingredient. I tried the whole sugar- and fat-substitute cooking thing when my older son developed a health program as a young teen (diabetic), and found that both substitutes, in quantities needed in dessert recipes, tend to have unpleasant side effects, which we won't get into here. I think I answered everything, but if I missed somebody's question, please email me offlist and I'll try to help you. No Waples? No Pollocks? No Kinkeads? No Lucases? Where's our Tyrone contingent? I found about 8 vintage-to-old Blair county cookbooks while cleaning out my cookbooks last night. I'm sure I have more, too. If you're looking for a recipe somebody from the '30s through the early '90s might have contributed to an organizational cookbook, let me know, and I'll see if I can find the name. ( I even have recipes Barb Hoenstine contributed, and she mostly didn't cook, but she liked to be on the Hollidaysburg Women's Club cookbook committees. <grin> ) If you'd like me to start a Blair County G?-Grandma's Favorite Recipes page on Blair Archives, and are willing to send me (offlist) transcribed family recipes with the (genealogical) info about the cook, I can do that. I think Cambia has some family recipes online. I just hate it that my family recipes are gone forever. Maybe we can save some for other folks. Okay, we're back to genealogy.

Can't we use applesauce for the butter? I wonder how many points a slice is! Debbie Hasson

In the event we aren't joking about all these substitutions - you need the sour milk in the recipe for the reaction it causes with the soda. At least that's what I've been told about these old timey recipes. And you don't need to let it get old, you just add vinegar (or even lemon juice, although I've never done that) to regular milk. This is also an acceptable substitute for buttermilk. I apologize in advance for being off topic!

Bicycle Races on July Fourth. The grandest racing event in the history of Central Pennsylvania will be the bicycle races at the Altoona Driving park on the afternoon of July 4. Over 100 entries for the various events have thus far been received and include the best riders from Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Pittsburg and other parts of Pennsylvania, and include Lawrence M. Taylor, the winner of all events at Schenley park, Pittsburg, on Decoration Day, and it is, therefore, expected that the fastest time ever made in competition in Altoona will be the result of hard and earnest training. The prizes offered are the best ever before given for a similar event. All entries close Monday, July 3, at 12 noon, and races will start promptly at 2.30 on the afternoon of the Fourth. Admission 25 cents. Morning Tribune, Saturday, July 1, 1899

This is a memorial for Carol Bravin. She passed away October 8, 2007. Carol was one of the original members who started Blair County Genealogical Society. She served as Past president, and many of the offices like editor of the newsletter. Many circles we walked around tables, collating newsletters and books.

That's funny, Annie, because that's exactly what I was thinking about Ellis. Ellis carries a whole kit - a mirror, a yardstick, and who knows what other equipment - when he photographs tombstones. Sam (June), Abby, Diann, Nance, Sally and I more or less point and click, and hope for the best. Well, yes, I'm exaggerating, because we actually make more of an effort than that, but nothing to compare with Ellis' work. The only person I know who carries about as much equipment into a cemetery as Ellis does is Kat McGuire. I like to talk Leora Rabuck into going along with me, because she holds the shrubs and flowers back away from the fronts of the tombstones. <g> Not as good as a scanner for a weathered stone, but when the plantings have grown up around a tombstone, an extra set of hands always helps. Those of you who haven't already seen Ellis' tombstone carvers' of PA pages really should click and take a look - http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/1pa/tscarvers/tombstone-carvers.htm Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 5:34 PM Subject: Re: PABlair Reading Eroded Tombstone markers Oh Ellis, I can just see you and Judy trying to figure out how to get one of these scanners. ; ) On Mon, 8 Oct 2007 10:50:55 -0400 "Ellis Michaels" <[email protected]> wrote: >This could be REVOLUTIONARY if it is as good as it claims.
