I have a good sized blackberry patch in my backyard. I love blackberry cobbler but hate the seeds. Foley food mill to the rescue. Blackberries are in the freezer and this is going to be a taste of summer in January. Here is the result of using a food mill: http://vintagecookery.blogspot.com/2011/06/delicious-mistake.html Should I Buy a Food Mill? |

Nope. Too many chemicals and the wife is allergic to soy which is in just about everything. Learning to bake well is a joyous undertaking and box mixes don't save more than about two minutes. Survey: Do You Use Box Mixes? |

Two eggs over easy, perfectly seasoned pork sausage, fried potatoes and onions, a side order of baked beans, rye toast with real butter and strawberry jam, a small glass of grapefruit juice and lots of coffee. I've never found a restaurant that got it quite right, especially the fried potatoes and onions, so I just cook it at home. Best Breakfast Ever: What's Your Dream Breakfast? |

I have a bell shaped like a rooster that I picked up at a tool sale at the Elk's club one year, and yes, I use it nearly every day to call my wife to meals from her quilting studio. Dinner Bell is Ringing! 7 Charming Dinner Bells |

I got mine from my mother about 40 years ago. She bought it at a yard sale for 25 cents. I use it for any number of things. I especially like roast beef, pork and small chickens. Take out the meat and easily make the gravy in the pan while scraping up the tasty bits. Elizabeth's Favorite Pan: Lodge Cast Iron Skillet |

I use it in most of my baked goods. The pie crust rolls out like a dream. The molasses cookies are sublime. The Spectrum website has a recipe for food processor pie crust that works wonderfully. A Healthier, More Flavorful Fat? Consider Coconut Oil |

I love vintage potholders, not for use but for decor. They take up little space, can be changer with the seasons and are usually quite reasonably priced. The trick is finding some which haven't been nearly used to death. Here is a selections of vintage potholders from our collection: http://quiltersmuse.com/potholders_from_one_family.htm Hurray for the Potholder! |

Tortiere, a French-Canadian pork pie traditionally made on Christmas Eve. There are as many variations as there are French-Canadian cooks. I use one much like my grandfather's. Favorite Ethnic Comfort Foods: What Are Yours? |

The first cookbook I bought was back in my hippie days. Adele Davis, Let's Cook It Right. It's completely falling apart but I still have it and use it. At about the same time my equally hippie sister-in-law gave my a Fannie Farmer, my most used cookbook. I'm not sure which edition, but it was about 1973 when I received it.

Our 1821 house came with a big farmhouse style kitchen. Everything got done there, including laundry, and still does. Mostly, guests hang out in the living room until the food is on, but people are always welcome to hang out and schmooze with the cook. After a meal we linger and hang on in the kitchen for coffee. Somebody nearly always helps out with the clean up. Our kitchen has a big table and is people friendly. A friend of ours once said she was very comfortable there because we were obviously kitchen people. Old Wood Tables in the Middle of the Kitchen | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

Famed British cookbook author, Delia Smith, gives a crumpet recipe that is made with yeast and is cooked on both sides. I tried it using rings and it came out much like a yeast pancake. They were totally delicious, but plan ahead to allow time for the yeast to work. You can see the results here: http://vintagecookery.blogspot.com/2010/03/tea-and-crumpets.html What's the Difference?
