Postcard featuring Texas Long Horn steer, dated march, 1938.
Dear George,
Fellows like this one n the other side have become rare in Texas. Mrs. R- & Louise are wintering in Arizona; so I am pastoring all by my lonesome. Wish that you were here to cook some good Alligator steak for me. Hope that you folk are well. Be a good boy and meet us and your mother in Heaven.

How much for this book? I MUST know the story of Crisco!!
ReplyDeleteAlso LOVE old recipe books!
Should hook to my email, bcgrote at gmail dot com...
Thanks!
I love how on the cover of the book, any time "lard" appears in a recipe it is crossed out and replaced with Crisco!
