Popular Post 4DThinker Posted October 23 Popular Post Report Posted October 23 (edited) Digging through a box of stuff that came from my folk's house when they down sized and moved out I came across this old oak box. A little google research suggests it was made in the early 1900s. Many other examples can be found with a google image search. This one though has what I think is an assortment of recipes collected by my mother and grandmother. Many of the recipes in it I recognize from family meals served to my family of 8 over several decades. I have no offspring to hand it down to, but thought sharing all the recipes broadly would insure they survive. I started "The Recipe Box" blog to post photos and the text of each recipe from the box. https://myshawwalkerrecipebox.blogspot.com/ I've been adding a few each day. I'll stop when every recipe in the box has been posted there. Have a look. 4D Edited October 23 by 4DThinker Headhunter, BB1, Larry Buskirk and 8 others 6 4 1 Quote
