Hello everyone and happy 2 days till Christmas, wow! lol First I would like to say hello, welcome and THANK YOU to my new followers (read: Callers)! Thank you so much for your support! Don't be shy now, leave a comment and let me know you dropped by! :D

Looking for some last minute holiday menu ideas? Luckily the December 1933 issue of the Ladies' Home Journal is here to save Christmas! lol These recipes are all about side dishes to compliment your holiday protein of choice. They include: Oranged Sweet Potatoes, White Turnip Cups Filled With Diced Beets, Onions-French Style, Cranberry Sherbert (yum-o!), Steamed Fig Pudding Served With Vanilla Ice Cream and Fruit Cake.

From the article: "The principal thing is to make everything look and taste as Christmasy as you can. And most important of all, don't forget to be merry!"

  8. Wow, that makes for fascinating reading, thank you!

    Given the Great Depression context, I really liked the opening part, about 'hoping again'. Lovely.
