Italian Veggie Delight - Part 3 My mother always considered herself Italian. Never mind that her father was 100% German. Her Italian mother, Catarina Maria Rosa, was her greatest influence in terms of her ethnic identity, and she owned it.  My... https://t.co/FLWsZVFH3E

Vegetable Marinade - Part 3 “Wessonality” Any early 1970s recipe that specifically calls for Wesson Oil begs for a deep dive into the history of Wesson Oil. Wesson Oil was originally a cottonseed oil. Unfortunately, cottonseed contains a... https://t.co/vQI2DfEJHf

Mrs. Elizabeth DeHuff led an extraordinary life.  My family knew her in the early 1970s as a member of the Unitarian Fellowship in Augusta, Georgia. My father was the board president, and my mother led the Sunday School. They had no official... https://t.co/gbBoSKQRqc

Vegetable Marinade - Part 1 I find it odd that my mother needed a recipe card for Vegetable Marinade. Perhaps, in the early 70s marinades weren’t as common as they are today. I recall easy-to-use envelopes of spice mixes and onion soup, so... https://t.co/lpvmVpJpQq
