She reminded her audience that convenience fooda were
not totally unknown In tboae days. The "truly first
recooatttuted food” waa dried pumpkin, according to
Letle. She said pumpkin would be cut In slices, the seeds
removed and the slices strung on a line and dried. When
the homemaker was ready to use the pumpkin she boiled
it.
Pemican and jerky were common and for the hunter
there was something known as “pocket soup” which was
made by cooking veal bones and extracting the gelatin
from than. When the gelatin became firm It could be cut
In cubes and carried in a hunter's pocket to be recon*
stituted with water at the proper time.
Cooking in the colonial kitchen may have been more
burdensome and time-consuming than food preparation to
which we’ve grown accustomed. It is interesting to con
template work in the colonial kitchen but even more in
teresting to sample the products that may have come
from those kitchens and their huge fireplaces. Perhaps
you’d like to try some of the following recipes in your
modem kitchen and start your family on its way to an
edible bicentennial lesson.

around the corner. The
beginning of November was
quite warm and it was dif
ficult to realize that in only
two weeks it would be
Thanksgiving. The time to
open some of those special
Jellies and relishes we’ve
carefully stored away and be
truly grateful for our full
shelves.
' Our daughter will be
spending two weeks in
Hawaii over Thanksgiving
on a belated wedding trip.
She and her husband came
east this summer to be
married but only had a
week’s vacation at that time.

Hope they will have a
wonderful trip to remember.
We have had so ..many
hunters and cars parked in
the fields this season. And do
you know what? Only one
person rang the doorbell to
ask if it was alright to bunt
on our farm. I believe far
mers in general appreciate
this courtesy. When Allen
and I picked some corn by
hand, we discovered several
hunters on the other side of
the corn strip who didn’t
even know we were nearby.
I also bad to bunt our
heifers one morning as
someone • t the gate open.
