  5. Okay a little trivia, Music and lyrics are by Jimmy Driftwood who wrtoe them all for the sole purpose of helping his students learn about this battle and other historical events. Johnny Horton first sang it and won a grammy in 1959. We used to sing it a lot growing up. Such fond memories!!

  7. Ice Cream Dolly Madison surprised her guests with ice cream, served at a state dinner, the first time it was ever heard of. One quart of milk. Eight eggs, whites and yolks beaten up separately, and very light. Four cups of sugar. Three pints of rich cream. One teaspoon of vanilla or any other flavoring. Heat the milk almost to boiling heat. Beat the yolks light and add sugar and stir up well. Pour the hot milk to this mixture little by little. Beat the whites and add them, returning them all to the fire. Boil in a pail set within one of hot water. Stir the mixture steadily about fifteen minutes or until it is as thick as boiled custard. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.When quite cold beat in the cream and flavoring. Have ready a quantity of ice not larger than a pigeon's egg, the smaller the better; pack around the freezer tightly, first a layer of ice and then one of salt in this order until the pail or freezer is filled to the top. Beat the custard as you would batter for five minutes without stopping; pour into freezer. Replace the lid and pack the ice and salt upon it, packing hard on top; cover all over with a blanket or and old piece of carpet; leave for an hour. Than remove the cover from the freezer after you have wiped it carefully. You will find within a thick coating of mixture upon bottom and sides. Dislodge this with a ladle or with a long carving knife, working every particle of it off clear. Beat again hard and long until the custard is a smooth, half congealed paste. The smoothness of the custard depends upon your action at this juncture. Put the cover back again, pack in more ice and salt and drain off the brine water which has accumulated possibly in such a quanity as to bury the ice. Do not open again and leave for three hours or even longer. After reaching this stage, take it out of the freezer, wrap a towel, wrung out of boiling water, about the lower part of the container and turn out a solid column of ice cream,firm,close grained and smooth as velvet to the tongue. Should the ice melt very fast, you may have to pour off the water more than twice.
  8. Back to Bacon again: Now in April 1711, General Braddock and the Colonial governors held a conference on taxation, in the Carlyle House,Alexandria.This house was known as Braddock's Headquarters. This was his favorite dish. Select good tart apples. Peel them. Cut them in inch cubes. Fry the bacon in a heavy skillet. As soon as the bacon is crisp, remove and drain on clean brown paper and keep in a warm place. Leave about one-fourth cup of fat in the skillet and fill it up with the apples. Sprinkle on two or three teaspoons of sugar. Apples fried this way require a little more sugar than ordinary fried apples. Cover the apples. Cook slowly until tender. Then remove the cover and turn the apples, so the pieces will keep their shape. Let them brown lightly. They are then almost transparent. Place on a steaming platter, and surround with the bacon. Easy enough and sounds delicious.

    Well after looking myself up and realizing it brought me to this site in another thread. I really did not like the idea of things printed here being so available to the whole world. I will reconsider a lot when posting, The cyberspace trail everywhere led to me on google. No alter egos here. My, either I am popular, which I am not, or major info is being pulled from everywhere. Still not liking it. But on the other hand, if it so good in finding me, how come I can not find others???? Just babbling now!

  13. Well if you are looking for a specific episode and air date you got me! I do not know!
  14. Good question eyes... but as the topic says "old weird recipes" Dolly Madison lived when...I'll let you do the math. Perhaps a cheese cloth or old flour sack cloth. Your guess is as good as mine. :unsure:
  15. This is from Martha Washingtons Rules of Cooking A favorite of Dolly Madison Green Apple Pudding Two cups of flour:one teaspoon of baking powder;one-fourth teaspoon of salt. Mix this with one and one half cups of shortening and three-fourths cup of bread crumbs. Moisten this with cold water and make into a dough, set aside one fourth of it. Line a well greased deep bowl with the larger piece. Fill this with about 2 pounds of chopped green apples, adding one cup of brown sugar and a few cloves. Add one-third cup of water and cover the rest of the dough. Cover this with your pudding cloth, knot the corners well and tie tight with a cord around the dish. Steam for three hours in a kettle, taking care not to let the water reach the top of the pudding dish.
