Food Friday: Funeral Homes and One Dish Meals

Need city directory type information? Try a community cookbook. Community cookbooks can be a great source for information about businesses and services.

In the Towson Chapter no. 70 of the Order of the Eastern Star cookbook, Our Favorite Recipes, there are some great funeral home advertisements to illustrate this point.

Notice that this first funeral home advertises they have been around since 1863.

In the second, they advertise that a "lady assistant" is available.

Today's recipe is actually two recipes, both examples of a one dish meal. The first ends with topping the casserole with bacon or cheese. In my humble opinion that is  the best way to get your picky eaters to eat the veggies inside. The second involves pork shops, pasta, and of course cheese.

I have featured this cookbook previously. In that post I included the recipe for a Depression Dinner. You can read that post here. It appears that this chapter of OES is still in existence. Their website is here.
