I found this recipe in Mother’s “Little Black Book” but we don’t know where it came from.

This came from my mother-in-law, Flo Chronister; although she is also from Pennsylvania Dutch country, it is quite different from Cuddie’s soup. The first time Millie had it at my house, she said, “Oh, Beef Corn Soup.” It is quite similar to Pa. Dutch Chicken Corn Soup. Hamburg soup is real soul food to the...

This came from Cuddie, Dave Gable’s sister in Felton, PA.

Kay is Lew Jackson’s mom. Peggy’ s mother-in-law.

Here’s Kathy’s family’s favorite, originally from “America Cooks”. The bacon slices add a nice flavor, and the sauce made from the juices with the addition of beef broth and sour cream is an unusual touch.

When did she become part of the family??? Mother gave me this recipe.

This came from a friend of Mom’s in the office at Dartmouth.

Before I went back to work, I participated in many neighborhood Bible studies. I got this recipe from an end-of-year brunch at a study in Verona. My copy is getting pretty dog-eared!

The lentil and rice mixture came from Peggy’s friends in Center Harbor, the Farahs. Of Lebanese origin, their father was born on the street called Straight in Damascus (Acts 9:11 – Saul of Tarsus was there!). Peggy added the toppings, like tacos, and now people call them “Peggy’s Pockets”.
