My mother came across an old cookbook with handwritten notes and recipes from a great grandmother of mine. It was published in 1924. It's hard to believe it's almost 100 years old. There are some very interesting recipes inside. I can tell there wasn't wide spread use of modern day refrigerators or freezers back then by the way they preserve things. There is also a chapter on food for the ill, which is a lot of bone and meat parts broth. My #2 had a sore throat the other day and I gave him some bone broth I made from turkey bones and it cleared it right up. There's something to be said for the old recipes and "cures."
