Larkin Housewives' Cook Book & Channel 2

Dear All:

A visitor recently donated a copy of the Larkin Housewives' Cook Book (subtitled Good Things to Eat and How to Prepare Them)  There are some really terrific recipes, and then some which sound quite dated. This is the fifth edition, and copyrighted 1915-16-17 and 1923 by the Larkin Co., Inc. Periodically, we'll post a recipe or two here.


Let's start with:

Blushing Bunny


Put into a chafing dish two tablespoons butter; when melted, add two tablespoons flour.  Pour on gradually one cup thin cream or milk; when thickened add one-half can tomato soup and one cup macaroni which has been cooked in salted water; then add one-half pound cheese, grated or thinly sliced; and two eggs slightly beaten.  Season with salt and a little cayenne pepper and mustard. This is sufficient for a party of six and is delicious.

If you missed it, you can watch Graycliff Mysteries on WGRZ which aired this morning at around 6:30 am, right here:  Buffalo Revealed: the Mysteries of Graycliff
