This book seems one that could have been put together from a myriad number of social events at the time. Still, it was quite the trip down memory lane. My feminist self could get my panties all in a bunch but it was 25 years ago and I’m going to assume times have changed at Grace Lutheran and today I would see men now helping with those chores while more women are busy making church decisions of a different order! The role at the time of the women in the group was categorized as Ladies Aid which meant making coffee, cleaning the kitchen and making dinners for church events. Karen has a copy of a Ladies Evening Guild cookbook from 1988 from the church she attended at the time. Kitchen utensils from their wedding over 30 years ago (yes, I admit, I see props in that bunch!), Pyrex bowls that are now back in fashion and some OLD cookbooks that I’ve had fun browsing through. I’m staying with friends that have a wealth of antiquities that they use on an everyday basis that are quite charming too. Jello? It’s a texture thing I’ll pass on Jell-O every time for that reason (much less artificial stuff reasons, thank you very much!).įast forward to today. My grandma had me whipping cream in her kitchen when I was ten it’s what I knew and what I loved and I could never quite get onboard with Cool Whip. Even then I never quite got the salad reference because it consisted of a sweetened crust made from pretzels and a filling that combined cream cheese and cool whip that was topped with a strawberry and jello mixture. I recall it primarily from when I lived in Raleigh, NC 30 years ago and it was a staple that would often show up at every barbecue and potluck dinner. This recipe for Strawberry Pretzel Salad goes WAY back.
