WRT the mention of M.F.K.Fisher's book for starving students, may I also recommend Mrs. Rasmussen's Book of One-arm Cookery by Mary Lasswell. This book was written in the same time-frame (WW II) as a response to popular demand for a copy of Mrs. Rasmussen's recipes featured in a set of humorous stories about three superannuated ladies who lived together for economic reasons. The first story, if you are so inclined, is called Suds in Your Eye. Probably out of print, but worth trying to get. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
