RECIPE: Lemon Tarts for nana grandma!
Comments (6)I just tried to get it all out before the computer froze up!! I often tend to dump most ingredients together,do beat eggs 1st if says beaten eggs. People are always wanting to "buy" stuff I make or wanting me to go into business. Then it wouldn't be fun.I made lots of wedding & shower cakes for just the cost of ingredients as I had 2 kids & didn't work. I love giving it away & my neighbors tell me I "make" their Christmas. That's all I need to hear!! This computer won't let me make receipes in receipe form for some reason & can't make paragraphs, so everything is run together. I usually print off receipe from here & try & then if I like it I write it up & put in my receipe box & where I got it fromand yr. I find my tastes have changed some over the yrs & I have to cook more low sodium as parents BP spikes if they eat salty foods. Thanks for the birthday greeting! Some day to be born-tax day!!!

Comments (5)By jelly do you mean flavored gelatin like Jello or do you mean jelly as in strawberry jelly/jam. I found this cached from www.redmondfamily.com & I think they're talking about a package of strawberry Jello in this recipe: Strawberry Fluff 1 strawberry jelly 1 cup evaporated milk Make 1 strawberry jelly using only half the usual amount of water. Allow to cool and nearly set. Whip 1 cup icy cold unsweetened evaporated milk until thick. When jelly is just setting combine whipped milk with jelly, and whip until thick. Pour into serving dish and leave to set in fridge. Serve with fruit....See MoreHelp for OLD recipe
Comments (52)I found this recipe for Orange Cardamom Icebox Cookies from an Oklahoma newspaper. It's quite similar to yours if you switched out lemon for the orange, although it does include eggs. Might give you an idea for the amount of cardamom. It does give a maple syrup (although they call for pancake syrup, maybe because of its corn syrup base?) sweetener option, too, instead of the corn syrup. No almonds, though, but I think ground finely they would make a great addition. The icebox (instead of refrigerator) name might indicate its age, although it's been updated with modern ingredients, perhaps. "About This Recipe "M-m-m-m! Tired of ordinary, ho-hum cookies? If so, then treat your taste buds to these Orange-Cardamom Icebox cookies! They are yummy! I've lost count of the times I've made them, since I discovered this recipe in "The Daily Oklahoman" newspaper about two years ago. Preparation time: 2 hours and 10 minutes. Includes 2 hours for chilling dough in the refrigerator." Ingredients 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup butter flavor shortening 1 egg 1/4 cup light corn syrup or 1/4 cup regular pancake syrup 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon orange extract 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 teaspoons cardamom 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Directions Combine sugar and shortening in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Add egg, syrup, orange peel, vanilla and orange extract. Beat until well blended and fluffy. Combine flour, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add gradually to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix until well blended. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch long log. Wrap and chill 4 hours or until firm. Heat oven to 375°F. Directions Grease baking sheets with shortening. Place sheets of foil on counter for cooling cookies. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Do not overbake. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen cookies. Orange cardamom icebox cookies...See MoreTalking about old recipes, 1887 White House cookbook
Comments (8)I remember the McCall's paper dolls. I hadn't thought of them in decades until you mentioned them. My grandmother used to save them for me and glue the doll on a light cardboard ( like card stock) so they would last longer. I used to trace the outline of a dress on plain paper and then draw and color in my own dress design. They were kept in a round hatbox in the bedroom I used at her house....See MoreDora Vann Snider
