Scrub Potatoes

In 1914 May 14 was a Thursday. We’re having leftovers from last night’s roast, just like if it were Monday.

I have no idea why this creamy mashed potato bake is called “Scrub Potatoes”.

Fish Chowder
Chicken Salad
Olives
*Salad Rolls
Maple Mousse

In 1914 April 22 was a Wednesday.

This feels like a lunch menu rather than a dinner. It’s a pretty simple meal. The Chicken Salad is good for using up left-over chicken, but we haven’t had chicken on the menu in a while.

Still can’t find that Maple Mousse recipe…
