I'm a flatlander that lives out on the prairie a couple hundred miles or so East of Denver....oops, that must put me in another state.
I was raised on all the foods that someone decided we aren't supposed to eat any more. Fresh whole milk, heavy cream, home made butter, fried chicken and potatoes & gravy, fresh made dinner rolls and so many more wonderful foods. I learned to cook that way too.
My favorite cook book is a 1943 Navy cookbook titled "Cooking on Shipboard." I found it at a D.A.V. store for $2.95. All recipes are for 100 servings. I've never fixed a full recipe of anything in the book, but it's a joy to have it in my collection.
