Oh, anyone who is wondering about the cabbage juice... It is cabbage juice. Eating cabbage gives me gas, so I strained the pulp through a mesh bag. I made it in my blender, so it had to be strained. I do have a juicer, but thought it would be faster to do in the blender.

I LUV my scale. I do a good amount of baking. weighing makes things easier to follow recipes. Takes the guess work out.
Just recently I used ,,,,,,to determine how many Bantam eggs I needed to fulfill the eggs quantity in recipe. Recipes always consider egg size from real chickens

"Real" chickens???



I made pumpkin pies this year with a combination of bantam and bantam pullet eggs. I couldn't find a conversion chart online and was wondering how to approximate how many bantam eggs equalled 6 large eggs...then I saw it, right on the recipe card...

6 large eggs=1 cup

Thanks, Mom!

"Old" recipe collections are the best! Some may think that the scribbles and notes make a card look messy... I totally disagree! I want to see the notes that someone made. What did they try? What worked? What didn't?

I was going through my mom's recipe file a long time ago, way back when I was in high school. I saw folded piece of paper with a few things written on it, and across the corner, she'd written, "puffed wheat anytime!"

I asked her what that was. She smiled and said, "Instructions on how to grow a Sally. This was feeding instructions for a babysitter, when you were about a year old."

A few years ago my eldest sister asked me if I had any recipe cards in our mother's handwriting (she passed in 1994). I scanned to her the ones I had, and she made small cookbooks for our daughters with their Nana's recipe cards.

Those are treasures!

I have a recipe box full of hand written recipes, that I don't have enough lifetime to try all.
No, not passed down from my family, but someone unknown. I just could not pass it up, and had to have it. It is pleasant to just read some at different times.
I do have recipes from my mom.
You have encountered some of them on the baking thread already.

Getting back quickly to eggs,,,,,,
3 of my bantie eggs = 2 real chicken eggs.
BTW, that is all I am getting currently. I have 6 Banties, and 1 LF. The Large is going thru winter molt, (not heavy), and stopped laying for the winter season.

They are also a snapshot of that time in history! Fascinating stuff. The handwriting is often lovely too.

I saw a bunch of hand written recipe cards in boxes at a Habitat for Humanity store a good while back.
My first thought was how could anyone part with these. The handwriting alone would be precious to me if it was someone I loved.

So true! What I would give to have my mom's recipe file!

There were such things as "Judy Pierson's Tasty Dish" (from a friend), "Sandra Kay's Cheddar Baked Chicken" (from a niece), and "Oopwop."

Oopwop was family lore. It was a tuna noodle casserole, and got its name when my sister was learning to talk. I don't know the full story, just that little bit. But we all knew what was for dinner when my mom said, "Oopwop."
