@shamrockgenealogist I have written about how my taste for KΓΌmmel traces back through my matrilineal line to a great-grandmother who immigrated in 1860 from East Prussia to St. Louis, and quickly found herself with no family members besides her new husband. Her Heimweh was only eased, I conclude, by cooking as she had back home, and her preference for caraway seed was then passed down mother-to-daughter, ultimately to me!

This was such a fun article about how Margaret deciphered two 150 year old German recipes her 3rd great-grandfather wrote down.

I made my great grandmother's oatmeal cookies today. They are unique. The ? A shitload of flavors. Orange, lemon, almond, AND vanilla extract.

I'm making a childhood favorite casserole from my grandmother's index card recipe.

I'm pausing where she wrote "add next five ingredients" without specifying what they are.

Going to open a beer and ponder.

It wasn't until I had store-bought pecan pie that I finally realized why so many people have a strong dislike for it: it's far too sweet! My family’s go-to recipe has way less sugar, some sour cream to tone it down further, and I've made it for years with no complaints.

I forgot how good these cookies are. So glad I made them!

What's on the holiday menu this year?

We're doing roast leg of lamb this year, but potato dressing will still be a feature (as always). I restocked my supplies when visiting Nova Scotia in November. ;)

@katjnz Will you add in short bios of the ancestors who the recipes are credited to? That would be a nice touch if you can
