Reminising 1920's
Looking at some of these recipes reminds me of my grandmother. She used to tell me a story about how she had once seen "Baby face Nelson" while walking down the street in Chicago. He had just robbed a bank and was making his get-away. (this is where she'd pull out a small handfull of tacks from her photo trunk.) Apparently, babyface used tacks in the road to stop the police from making chase......She had saved those tacks all those years.  That was my grandma's claim to fame! We lost her this last Christmas, and I miss her very much.
