Chicken Soup
*Miss Daniel’s Meat Loaf
Creamed Potatoes
Asparagus Hollandaise
Apple Pie
Cheese Squares
Café Noir

In 1914 May 7 was a Thursday.

I made Miss Daniel’s Meat Loaf! Who was Miss Daniel? I have no idea. I assume she was someone associated with the Boston Cooking School, but I haven’t turned anything up yet.

It’s a fairly simple meatloaf and is much improved with the addition of onion. Also, don’t make my mistake and do serve it with a sauce.

Tillypronie (note spelling difference) is a Victorian house in Scotland where Charlotte, Lady Clark of Tillypronie collected recipes and assembled them into a cookbook, published posthumously in 1909. The cookbook does mention serving Brussels sprouts in soup, but doesn’t have a recipe with the same name.

Lima Beans in Cream
*Prune Pie
Cheese
Café Noir

In 1914 April 23 was a Thursday.

It’s another meatless meal!

I found a recipe for Cream of Lima Beans, which I am assuming is the same as Lima Beans in Cream, since that’s all there is — lima beans and cream.
