My family has lived in
Berks County, Pennsylvania for several
generations. They were
not wealthy people, but always ate well and lived long lives. Their recipes
are difficult to translate because they were never really written down,
just memorized from watching your mother cook, and her mother, and her mother.
Things like 'a pinch' 'a dash' 'a handful' 'some' had to be translated into
teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, etc. Along the line we've all come up with
our own 'short cuts' because of time constraints, whatever. Here are some
of my favorites !!! -----------
