Hey all! Lurker here. I just wanted to share a fav here!

The recipe, as written - Mom's Spaghetti:

• 1 lb hamburger
• 1 onion
• 1 carrot
• Parsley flakes
• Garlic salt
• Celery salt
• 1 tsp Ital. seasoning
• Dash salt & pepper
• 6 oz tomato paste

Brown hamburger, then add rest of ingredients plus 3–4 cans of water (cans as in the tomato paste can). Simmer 2–3 hrs.

The second picture is the same card set as a page for a family cookbook, with her card printed above the typed-out version so the handwriting stays. Full disclosure, since this sub deserves it:

I built the software that read the card and set the page (buk.recipes), and I'm posting as its maker. It's in open beta, and the first 500 people who join get every feature free for good, figured people here might take use of that.

Link, since people will ask: Check out Buk.recipes here!

Mostly I wanted to put the sauce somewhere it won't get lost. If your mom also simmered hers for three hours with a whole carrot in it, I'd like to hear about it!

My grandma used to make chocolate fudge that was lighter in weight and drier than your typical fudge, and it absolutely melted in your mouth. Almost like a maple candy type texture, it was awesome.

I remember her using unsweetened baking chocolate and I'm pretty sure white sugar, and at one point she cooked it in a pot with a candy thermometer.

I'd love to be able to make it for christmas if anyone has a similar recipe!

Chocolate or Baked Alaska was the trendy dessert of the 1960 & 70's, and was always a hit on Christmas Day. Yummy, but needs to served and eaten fairly quickly on a hot Australian summer's day. Enjoy.

A few days ago, Kona7021 posted something that sounded pretty gross, but on the other hand, I've had some decent aspics. (https://www.reddit.com/r/oldrecipes/comments/1x39b9v/scary_old_meatloaf_salad_recipe/)

As I was arguing that it might be okay, I went ahead and made it. First pic is in the mold, with the "frosting" visible. From the way I interpreted the recipe, this is added to the top when you're making it, so when unmolded it's on the bottom.

A few notes: I cut the recipe in half then spilled the tomato portion transferring it, so wound up with less than it should make. It calls for veal, but as that isn't available, I used pork loin. I used red bell pepper instead of green because I hate green peppers.

What you're all dying to know - how was it? Meh, not bad, not great. I'd say an acquired taste as I think it had too much horseradish in it, and if it had significantly less, I may have enjoyed it. My partner on the other hand liked the horseradish. It is really difficult to describe the flavor, maybe horseradish and tomato forward. They were the main flavors. Texture wise, there was enough shredded meat and cottage cheese that it wasn't bad.

And I guess the final verdict is: not too bad but not designed for a modern palate.

One of my all time favorites.

This simple recipe is quick to make with store bought puff pastry and jam. Enjoy

Does anyone have the recipe for a raspberry pistachio soufflé from this magazine circa 2005?
It’s my fave and I lost my copy.

I came across this recipe a few years ago in my grandma's very well used Betty Furness Westinghouse cookbook. I purchased my grandparents home when my grandma passed away, and I found this cookbook in her drawer. This is one interesting recipe that I came across when I first flipped through a few years ago, and had to laugh because I was so grossed out I got a sharpie and wrote NO! next to it. 🤣

My grandmother used to collect recipes from all over and had a recipe for rolls memorized. She wrote it down a few times for us, but that recipe got lost over time. I'm hoping someone here might have some recipes that might get close.

Sometimes she'd use wheat, but usually it was just all-purpose flour. I also remember that she would use scalded milk in the process. Other than that, there were no outstanding ingredients to flavor the bread differently, but the scent was amazing.

If you have a favorite dinner roll recipe and are willing to share it, I would be a very happy boy.
