Well. Apple Giner is bad typing --- should be Apple Ginger. (What
do you expect at almost midnight?)

Apple Ginger
Wipe, quarter, core, pare, and chop sour apples;  there should be 
two and one-half pounds.  Put in a stew-pan and add one and one-half 
pounds light brown sugar, juice and rind of one and one-half lemons, 
one-half ounce ginger root, and one cup water.  Cover, and cook slowly 
three hours, adding water as necessary, to prevent apples form burning.  
Apple ginger may be kept for several weeks.  For the Christmas dinner, 
serve around roast goose in apple cups made of bright red apples.

Breslin Patties
(I won't copy the recipe here.)  It's cooked oysters and celery put in
puff pastry shells.

I'm guessing that Apple Ginger was the sauce that preceeded Cranberry
Sauce that most people (USA) serve today.  Were cranberries commercially
processed in 1906?  Or only a local product where they grew?  Any
historians amoung us?

That menu is slightly different from the one I'll serve (or eat) for my
Christmas dinner.  I don't know what I'll have, but it won't be that. 

Now I must be concerned about my dinner today.  I'm baking a salmon!
I may as well bake a squash while the oven is on.  After dinner, I'll
freeze packets of the cooked salmon for future meals.  

Lace note:
Finished another ornament today -- am pleased with it.  Nice thread!

Happy lacing,

[lace-chat] looking for Christmas dinner

2003-11-21 Thread Susan MacLeod
I know there are varied interests in this group.   I am looking for the 
Modern Priscilla,  probably December '02 or '03 for my brother and 
SIL.  This issue has an elaborate Christmas dinner by Fannie Merritt Farmer 
that they used to use, till it got lost somewhere in their moves.  A 
photocopy or scan would be wonderful to find for them.
TIA,
Sumac who just finished teaching a third tatting class to my 2 new tatters, 
and a previous student who came back for more!
