throwback recipes – Ruth E. Hendricks

In 2011 I started a blog of Throwback Recipes. I didn’t check the dates to see how long I kept it up but it was short lived.

Here’s an example of a post. My mother’s Chocolate Pound Cake Recipe

Last week at the Community Center I saw an old cookbook on the “Free Table” so I brought it home and found a handwritten recipe and a newspaper clipping and had fun going through the pages. It was from Lake Charles. Louisiana first printing in 1965

Notes:
Raggedy Ann Salt Ornament
a Pea Salad
and Cornflake Macaroons

Five years ago I tried to create a recipe blog from my grandmother’s wooden recipe box and my mother’s recipe cards. I’d forgotten all about it until today when I got a notice from WordPress. Try this link to the blog A friend wrote she had trouble

Throwback Recipes Blog

I didn’t stick with this blog for very long.

There were SIX followers. Throwback seemed as if the recipes weren’t really relevant nowadays.

It stopped seeming like such a cool idea.

But today I got a notice “Your stats are BOOMING!” On the Throwback Recipes blog. Rhubarb Cake recipe and the home page

And 65 hits (that’s booming after zero) are from El Salvador, 2 are from United States and 1 from Australia. And in just ONE hour.

So thought I would share about my abandoned blog that got rediscovered today.

Did you ever start a blog and abandon it?

It’s always nice to receive those notices from WordPress.

Here is the Chocolate Pound Cake recipe my mother made
