Comments (16)Was Dr. Carolyn a mutation from Galinas? Would that be considered a sport? I don't have Carolyn's book in front of me, but I think both are in there??? ***** I saved seed from Galina's Yellow and the next year when I sowed those seeds I got plants with salmon, pink, yellow, red and ivory fruits and all the plants were RL. Galina is PL. The ivory colroed one was far and away the best both in terms of taste and plant vigor, and I saved those seeds and wrote mutant on the vial. To this day I have no idea what kind of muation it could have been. A sport can refer to a mutation of the DNA in the seed or to a mutation in the cell of a plant, which are called somatic mutations. When a somatic mutation occurs one can have one wrong colored fruit on a plant with all correct colored fruits, and it was a somatic mutation that led to Yellow Riesentraube. Also with a port ( somatic) mutation one can find one branch with differently colored fruits or a branch with altered shape of fruits. I've had two somatic mutations of that type. At the same time a good friend in Utah, Steve Draper, had had the same thing happen and asked if I'd send him all my different colored ones. I did, and he also thought the ivory one was the best. Without telling me he listed it in the SSE Yearbook as Dr. Carolyn and was I ever surprised. It has some of the genes from Galina's which almost everyone says is a great cherry variety, and I agree. (IS there a definition of Heirloom out there?) There are several definitions of heirloom out there but no one accepted definition. Carolyn...See Morehard egg yolk recipes?
Comments (6)This was the "house" dressing of the Pennsylvania Railroad back in the days of railroad dining cars. They served it on a salad of iceberg lettuce, tomato wedges, sliced cucumber, scallions, radishes and celery. It's interesting how the yolks help to give it body and flavor. PENNSYLVANIA RR DRESSING 2 hard-boiled egg yolks tarragon vinegar 1 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. celery salt 1 heaping tsp. powdered sugar 1 green pepper, chopped medium fine (I use a half since a green pepper in those days was smaller) 6 chives or small young onions, chopped very fine 1 sprig parsley, chopped fine juice of 1/2 lemon, strained 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup mayonnaise Mash egg yolks with enough tarragon vinegar to make a smooth paste. Add each ingredient in the order listed, mixing well before adding the next. Beat all with a whisk until blended through, about 1 minute. Pour into a glass jar and cover tightly. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Makes 1 pint....See MoreHelp! BB egg is splattered with yolk.
