of dough and a lump of lard
which are not the most practical
instructions but if you can’t
duplicate the recipe, you’ll certain
ly enjoy reading how great grand
mothers cooked in those days.
Included in the cookbook are
helpful hints, which may not per
tain to today’s lifestyles, but cer
tainly reveal that housework is
definitely less time-consuming
today.
Consider this hint that appears in
the cookbook: When putting elas
tic in the small bloomers that must
be washed often, I put a hook on
one end and an eye on the other. It
is easy to take out for laundering
and the ironing id easy, not much
time is needed to replace the
elastic.
If you were recuperating from an
illness in the early 1900 s, you
probably would have been serving
the following:

this salad.
Cut bananas in half and place in
the hole of a slice of pineapple.
Scoop out top of banana for cherry.
Pour over marshmallow-whip after
placed on a lettuce leaf and serve

The cookbook abounds with
Pennsylvania Dutch favorites such
as Schnitzenknepp.
Take some sweet schnitz (sweet
apples dried with the skins). Put in

Facts:
• Durable Patz hook-and-eye link chain allows easy
maintenance. Progression forging builds extra strength
in hook-and-eye link contact points. Final heat treating
increases hardness, strength and wear resistance.
• Choice of two link sizes to match gutter length.
• Four-tooth sprocket drives every link. Each sprocket
tooth drives each link behind the hook the link’s
thickest and strongest point.
• Flexibility for various layouts.
• Select 2” steel angle flites for solid manure or 4” high
flites for slurry manure. Flites are welded to Patz links.
• Three drive unit sizes match your gutter length and
allow expansion.
• Corner wheel top-and-bottom flanges guide the chain
around the comer. Comer wheel assemblies remove
easily for service without concrete breakout.
• Automatic chain tightener.
• Heavy-guage steel slide with steel center beam for
added strength.

kettle with good sized piece of
bacon. Brown sugar enough to
make them taste pleasant. About
twenty minutes before you want to
serve dinner, add the knepp, which
is simply dumplings made out of
dough raised with yeast, cover
tightly and serve together.
This dish was usually made on
days when bread baking was jn
progress. Now when we want
schnitzenknepp we send to the bak
ery and get a nickel’s worth of
dough and work that up into
dumplings.
Many of the recipes may be a bit
difficult to duplicate if you are not
an experienced cook because the
recipes are brief and take for
granted that the average cook
knows exactly how to whip white
sauces, dumplings, and other
staple dinner items.
