What one family eats, plans to eat, dreams of eating. Plus, other food and kitchen-related stuff from the home of steak-and-potatoes, pie and fresh green beans from the garden.

Corny, Roaring 20s cookbook: Delightful Foods (part 1 of 6: cover, credits – pg. 17)

 I bought this little (4" x 6.25") hardcover cookbook at auction a decade ago. It's probably not yet in public domain, since it's only 96 years old, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that, since I'm not trying to profit from the act of sharing my find with the world, the Corn Products Refining Company will not shut this set of blog posts down for the next 4 years… After all, Karo syrups and Argo cornstarch are essential ingredients in many kitchens, & it's always good to have additional excuses to buy more and use it.
