Franconia Potatoes

Lettuce Chiffonade
Water Thins

Nut Wafers

In 1914 May 17 was a Sunday.

No recipe for the Lettuce Chiffonade. A chiffonade is leafy vegetables cut into thin ribbons. I suspect this salad would be dressed with the ubiquitous French Dressing.

For Nut Wafers, I found a recipe for Almond Wafers which says you can substitute other nuts for the almonds, so I guess, go nuts with your favorite.
