She was a native Bostonian, but her parents were not...they came here from Europe. Her mother was a fabulous cook. My mom learned from her mom, and I retained memories of how to cook some of what my mom cooked, and that includes a number of Polish, Russian, German, and undifferentiated Slavic recipes. I'll make oladi a couple of times a year, when fresh berries are plentiful. -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |

When we were kids, there was too small a freezer in most kitchens to freeze any large amount of stuff. We were just discussing this last week. There were cold storage lockers. You could rent one and store your half side of beef etc. my mom was Midwestern and we had lots of chuck roast and baked potatoes. Lived in a rooming house in Dayton, OH for a few months. Italian mother from the old country. She would invite us for Sunday dinner at times. He son, could get the spoon and fork working together and finish the whole plate of paste while I am still on the first quarter, trying to,deal with the long strings. Her son hunted squirrels and she would do a cachatore with them that was superb. |

Young females are pretty tender and fry up well. Hope you're having a great day! |
