Creamed Potatoes
Asparagus Hollandaise
Apple Pie

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.

Pimolas are olives stuffed with pimiento. You know, what we usually find in a martini. I saw a suggestion that it was a portmanteau  of “pimiento” and “olive”

The Boiled Rice is attributed to “French Chef”. This is not the first time it’s come up and I’m curious to whom it refers.

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.
