Recipes?

I can gloat now. I live in Boston, vacation on a North Shore island, the lakes region of New Hampshire, and the unsettled part of Maine (T3R4, WBKR).
I have great fish right from the docks in East Boston, or Portland, Maine. Real Clams, Salmon, Haddock, Cod. I always return from the North country with Lamb, and some venison. Cottage pie, shepherd's pie never make it around for seconds in this house. Scamp, Colcannon just evaporates. The days I make Scottish eggs neeps and tatties, the whole bloody neighbourhood stops by. Now with a Community Supported Agriculture organic farm nearby, I have fresh veggies and herbs most of the year. I will try to figure out some quantities as I cook to put together recipes. I haven't "measured" anything in decades.

One of my mothers tasks as a child was to transcribe her Grandmothers cooking so they could submit her recipes to the local festivals. Her grandmother used the pinch of this and dash of that style of cooking. Makes me wish I could have gotten to know her. Somewhere I have a copy of the cookbook my mother's church published with a bunch of her Grandmothers recipes in it. It's fun to read over the old books. No worrying about fat or cholesterol. Just enjoy the food.

I also have a copy of the 1929 New England Yankee Cookbook. It's got 11 pages of clam chowder recipes. It's the best clam chowder you can get anywhere!
