Clementine Paddleford

Have you ever heard the name Clementine Paddleford ?

I’d never heard the name Clementine Paddleford (b.1897-d.1967) until I found it on a recipe tucked in an old cookbook.

Turns out she was an early food writer who was a pilot, flying all around the country in her Piper Cub plane, writing about the food discovered in different regions of America.

The recipe I found, tucked in Boston Cooking School Cookbook

Paddleford’s own book How America Eats (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1960) can be purchased but the least expensive price is $50

So I ordered a used book Hometown Eats written about her and learned a lot.

Hometown Appetites is a biography By Authors Kelly Alexander and Cynthia Harris include 55 recipes

A Paddleford quote in Saveur article (written by author Alexander)

“We all have hometown appetites,” Paddleford once said. “Every other person is a bundle of longing for the simplicities of good taste once enjoyed on the farm or in the hometown they left behind.”

Here’s a screenshot of one of her cookbooks you can still get from Abe Books (this is not a link)

“Howard Johnson’s restaurants originally started as a single location opened by Howard Deering Johnson in 1925 and grew into a substantial restaurant chain in the decades that followed.” Click his name to see what he looked like

“…, his favorite food was ice cream, which he maintained was “not fattening.” He ate at least one cone a day, and he kept 10 distinct flavors in the freezers of his seven-room Manhattan penthouse and at his home in ^{Milton Massachusetts”}

The 28 flavors as this sticker shows. Available here Teepublic

I would choose coffee.

No more Howard Johnson’s ice cream!

Where Are You From?

I am from patience and grief, Jell-o and corn.

I am from a yellow Pyrex bowl and silver polish.

I am from sheets on the line, handstitched quilts on the bed, wool braided rugs on wood floors.

I am from davenports and stock the larder, dinner bells, and napkin rings

I am from grace before dinner and blessings at bed

I’m from from Dad reading Pilgrim’s Progress in the hall to my brother and me.

I am from Mom reading Anne of Green Gables, Little Women

I am from Brooklyn and Jersey.

I am from Judd and Charlotte, Mary Alta and Floyd.

I am from Marian and Roy.

I am from sour cream cookies and homemade jam, warm whole wheat bread with butter and honey. Raspberries.

I am from knitting and soup, angel food cake, coffee ice cream

and love.

The Spicy Bison Chili Won the Chili Cook-Off

Friday morning was the Chili Cook-Off at the Stephen Foster Community Center. Lawrenceville. Four out of the five entries were Vegetarian and the Spicy Bison prepared by Kathie H took first place. It was very flavorful.

That’s apple cider cake under the waxed paper and some cheese biscuits. Kathy W. baked it and she was telling me how she boiled down the apple cider.

It was a tasty event and I enjoyed participating. I cooked a Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili with Sweet Potatoes a recipe from my daughter Laura which my friend Vincie was able to pull up on her computer.

I used silver sugar tongs to put some corn chips in little snack bags.

Split Second Cookies

My friend Jen gave me a lovely large jar of Bonne Maman jam which was perfect for the Split Second Cookies Recipe.

This morning Jen came over and we had coffee and eggs. I gave her a couple of the jam filled logs wrapped in foil. Apricot and Four Fruit Preserves were the two flavors I used.

After you bake the cookie all at once, when they are cool you slice them.

They are a dense buttery shortbread with the fruit jam in the middle.

Nine Years Ago- Orange Olive Oil Cake

From 9 years ago

Did some research for a Portuguese dessert and this cake came up in two places. Recipe for Orange-Olive Oil Cake. “This Portuguese orange olive oil cakehas an unforgettably tender crumb and a citrus smack thanks to fruity olive oil, winter navel oranges, and orange zest.”

I went across the Allegheny River to Labriola’s and bought a new Zoe Olive Oil as recommended in the recipe. Fresh eggs. And five navel oranges were five dollars at Whole You-Know-What.

Zested three oranges and squeezed four to get 1 1/2 c of juice.

Used a tube pan as I did not have a light colored bundt pan. Baked it 1 1/4 hours.

Make it at least a day before serving. I did.

Will let you know what the verdict is after Friday night dessert. I usually don’t make a new recipe to share, untested.

January 8 2025- it was absolutely delicious I need to bake it again

I put it on a glass cake stand after it cooled.
