Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm spending this holiday weekend with some friends and my boyfriend in a little cabin in the woods of Lancaster County. We'll be in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country and so I though it was fitting to feature the Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book. This is another volume from the batch of books I acquired through my friend Fran a month or so ago. It was printed in 1959 and announces on the second page that the recipes were, "compiled from tried and tested recipes made famous and handed down by the early Dutch settlers in Pennsylvania." For a little paperback book, it has stood the test of time well, much like the recipes it contains (well, at least most of them - most home cooks these days don't make Stuffed Beef Heart).
Other, more appealing, recipes include Roast Pork, Dutch Sausage with Gravy, Shartlesville Corn Pudding and Lancaster County Lima Beans (I don't know about you, but I love lima beans). On the sweet side, you'll find Thanksgiving Butterscotch Pie, Country Molasses Pie and Eggless Corn Muffins. If you want to give one of your Memorial Day Weekend meals a special flare, why not try this creamy Dandelion Salad (the recipe is after the jump).
