I've had an idea in my head for some time -- which, is to try and create a nice, high quality cookbook, consisting of old family recipes originating from the greater MC community. You know, the stuff that your grandmother, or great-grandmother, or even your mother cooked.
In my family, I have the good fortune of possessing the old recipe boxes of my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I just opened one up, and discovered the recipe for "Swiss Steak". Now, Swiss Steak, is not that special, or anything I liked that much as a child, but as an adult it brings back memories. I haven't had it in years, nor seen it on a menu any time recently. It appears to me though, that if you wish to have Swiss Steak, then you need to make it yourself.
But that's what I'm talking about.
"Swiss Steak", while perhaps not the greatest of examples for the cookbook I am proposing, is the card I pulled out of the recipe box. However, I think it would be something cool to share anyway. It came from a moment in time, where that card may have been the recipe for the meal that night.
The whole purpose of my proposal, would be to bind and print some of Miles City's past history, in the culinary sense, into something we could all use and appreciate today - even if only occasionally.
So, are you with me? Why not create a great cookbook featuring past MC fare?
If I were to take on the effort of creating the cookbook itself (in my mind a nicely done hardbound edition) would you contribute a recipe or two from Grandma towards the effort?
Let me know.
