One of the benefits of friends knowing your interest in community cookbooks is that they sometimes bring one to you. Such is the case for me last week while I was on the Gena and Jean Genealogy Journey speaking tour. At my presentation at the San Fernando Valley Genealogical Society my dear friend Donna Chellew gave me, Our Favorite Recipes. South Fernando Valley Historical Society (Mission Hills, California, abt 1977).
I chose today's recipe because I liked the note that precedes it. "Recipe handwritten by guest at Mother's wedding shower, 1914"
