What of wisdom?

Bedtime reading this week has been Mary Emma Showalter's Mennonite Community Cookbook. From the cover, "Eleven hundred mouth-watering recipes from old Mennonite cookbooks, brought up to date with standard measures and directions. Simple but wonderful country cookery contributed by Mennonite families all over the United States and Canada."

In my collections it ranks right up there with Liberace Cooks.

She will go down with her ship.

I made this salad for lunch today. Well, a modified version of it anyway. Obviously I didn't use bacon lardons or onion in my salad. Still, it was delicious. I remain a sucker for lentils.
