I have my grandmother's printed cookbook (maybe 1912) and her handwritten as
well......."butter the size of an egg" and Emergency Raisin Pudding. Imagine being on a remote Alberta farm and some family arrives for dinner along with all of the farmhands. Raisins were available then and would last all winter.
Oooh, I just like to be so organized.
But let me know if you try the onion ice cream.
