Duchess Snowy Domain

The last few days in SW Colorado around here have been in the mid-40s. It even got up to 50F in Durango on this Monday afternoon. BUT ... that may be the calm before the real storm that is expected the latter part of this week with more cold weather and a possibility of snow again.

Those weird shaped icicles on the left were snapped as they formed from the slowly, melting, sliding snow from the rooftop.

Warshing Clothes Recipe

This washing (Warshing) clothes recipe from the past comes by way of Steve Nicholson. Steve says, "The Warshing Clothes Recipe is below. Never thought of a "washer" in this light before. What a blessing! Years ago a Bisbee grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe. This is an exact copy as written and found in an old scrapbook -- with spelling errors and all.

Home Comfort Range (1934) - Pastry Recipes

This week we promised you some pastry recipes from our Home Comfort Cookbook of 1934.

The 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook says, "Shell pastry which is to contain a cooked filling -- as for single-curst pies and cup pastries -- is baked before the filling is placed into it. If for raw or uncooked filling such as custard, the shell and filling are cooked at the same time. The pastry is lightly place in the pan in the usual manner, but is trimmed about an inch away from the rim of the pan, and this margins folded back over the edge, and scalloped, or fluted, with the fingers, to form a rigid rim around the inside of the crust."
