MAY 22 : a VERY SPECIAL DAY . . . and Orange Biscuits

Letter from Mom:       May 24^th 1981  (From Shoal Lake, 17 cent stamp)

        I am so happy its all over the baby did come I was so worried before. 

        I forgot to ask Bryan whethere you were long in labur. I don’t know whats wrong with me I only look after the chicks and don’t do much but I am allways tired I am resting up now but I didn’t do the ironing was going to do that every day since Wednesday but it still sitting.

It rained Friday Sat and today there was a bit of rain in those day but today only spiting but a lot of mud so will have to wash the floor when it clears up.  I have two goslings in the box in house these rainy days

I will come to your place June 9^th and stay till after Bryan comes home I hope you don’t mind me not staying longer I may when I get there  I am sure the little bundle will have me attached they all do but I don’t want to take over.

If it be all right with you I would like my hair done I will take the stuff if you can only curl it the rest I will do.  If not I will get done a hairdressers but it much to much.  I am getting it cut June 2^nd as we don’t go to town much now. 

Like we did before I would have it done then but I got to go to the Doctor that day at 2 oclock. 

We have planted a little garden just before the rain so it must come up nice now.

I phoned George and Donald to tell them the knews but Karen was not home so Donald said he will tell her but she didn’t phone me yet

Diana was very happy on spending the long weekend with you.  I phoned her 

        The men still seeding  Matt is selling his cattle as he has no pasture for them  it’s just as well he sells only leaving six head that’s all pasture he hase for them.

        I will Close for now hoping this will reach you in very best of health and happiness

                        May god bless you all

                                        Love Mother

BONUS . . . a  recipe from Bryan

ORANGE BISCUITS

Grated rind from one large orange

½ cup fresh orange juice

1 cup sugar

2 cups flour

2 ½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ cup soft butter

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

                 

1.    Grate orange rind and stir together with orange juice and sugar.  Spread this on the bottom of a 9x9 pan.

2.      Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

3.     Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in food processor.

4.     Add butter and process to fine crumbs.

5.     Turn flour mixture into a mixing bowl.

6.     Stir milk into flour, stirring only long enough to combine.

(The secret to tender biscuits is minimum handling.)

7.     Turn onto a floured counter and pat into a 9x12 rectangle.

8.  Stir together 1 tbsp sugar and cinnamon.  Sprinkle the dough.

9.  Roll up like a jelly roll.  Cut into 12 slices and lay these down on the orange syrup, cut side down.

10.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes until almost all the juice has been absorbed.

Serve hot.  I like them with butter.  Yum!

TALK ABOUT WEDDINGS . . . and SUNDAY CHICKEN

                                           Letter from Mom
March 24/74          (from Shoal Lake:  8 cent stamp)

        Received your letter last week but had no time to answer and when I was not doing anything I slept or just did not feel like writing about the Ukarianian Wedding that mother put kolachi on bride and groom is she was blessing then she was giving her blessing 

when I was getting married it was still like that and lot more but

when Nellie was getting married that part was out

and now a lot more is out as everyone shortened the wedding ceremony to a day which was three days. 

I have been knitting mitts all the time when I had time or was to lazy to do anything eles I finished 2 pairs last week.  I got more patterns for chusion tops but it an applecants so I will have to buy some cloth before I can do  then Mrs Starsiuk will zigzag them for me but its only one pattern I can use as the other two are round unless I do some thinking about how to change them.

I was talking to Diana to day.  I will write out the recipe for bortch I hope I can write it so you could make out as its better to see but can’t be helped so I will try the best.

Nestor phoned last week and said he be home weekend but with the roads being blocked he did not so I will see when he does come its better when I know but it don’t matter I allways sort of clean up Friday anyways

I made a batch of doughnuts last Thurs. so I will have that and we bought quarter beef so I have a bit of steakes so when he comes only will have to taw them a head. 

If you wish you can send your white scarf and I will work on it when I will have time get it done some time I have bought the yarn all ready I bought 2 balls I think that should be enough.

The boys made their income tax and they got to pay

  Matt has the most

I will close for now and get at that recipe

May God be with you at all time and guide you       Love Mother

* The picture of Matt was taken about 1960.  He was the best man at a wedding.  Matt LOVED to dance -- he would dance EVERY dance at a wedding.

                                            **************

Mom and I cooked all the food for Bryan's and my wedding.

 I planned the menu and I wanted it to be simple and tried and true.  Also, I loved Indian food.  

The curried chicken recipe on page 70 of this cookbook fit the bill, perfectly.

2 tbsp butter

3 tsp curry powder

1 apple, finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

6 to 8 pieces chicken thighs and drumsticks

Can of condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 cup cream

Salt, paprika

·        Start oven preheating to 350.

·        Sauté the curry powder, apple, and onion in the butter until tender.

·        Add soup and cream.

·        Salt and paprika the chicken in a baking pan.

·        Pour sauce over it.

·        Bake uncovered for one hour.  (Peg Bracken says 1.5 hours)

Mother's Day . . . and a Mocktail

"Please lift your glasses high to honor mothers,

Everyone's first love. . ."

(Suzanne C. Cole)

Nicole and Kepler, 2014 . . . 

and a holiday in Charleston  . . . 

   Two Boroughs Restaurant  

  Magnolia Plantation  

 Magnolia Plantation  

"To mothers,
Who know 'mother' is not the same as 'smother'."

 Cocktail Hour is such a treat; it's a time to kick back and catch up with what's been going on in everyone's life and the world. 

I have to say a special thanks to Bryan because he makes this happen with a different fantastic cocktail or mocktail almost every time.

Bryan looks at lots of recipes and then he comes up with his own version that will suit a demanding crowd who don't like anything too sweet.

Here is one of Bryan's terrific Mocktails:

THE PALOMA FIZZ

3 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1 ounce rosemary infused simple syrup

Pour juice and syrup into a Collins glass.  Stir.  Fill glass with ice.  Top off with club soda.  
Garnish (optional) with rosemary sprig and a slice of grapefruit.

*this makes one drink.
