From Modern Priscilla, April 1925. At least this doesn't look any worse than my mother's signature Lenten dish, Irish spaghetti (boiled noodles, cheese and a can of diced tomatoes. It was awful and since my mother was a pretty good cook, I don't understand why. It occurs to me now that maybe she was trying to make us suffer for the good of our souls).

Thanks, Priscilla, but I just ate...
What a great magazine that must be! :) Love it.
It is. I have about a dozen copies from 1914-1925 and I'm always on the hunt for more.
Priscilla had great production values; readable typeface, wonderful illustrations, layout, etc. I should find someone with a flatbed scanner large enough to scan the entire thing and start making copies for my pals.
I've heard of meatless meat loafs before but never with ground nuts.. don't think I would care for it tho
Hi Shay,
I discover your blog thanks to the comment you posted on mine.
I enjoyed pretty much the visit.
Those vintage ads are so great.
Have a nice day,

Wow, I never knew that dish was calle Irish spagetti. Maybe because I'm irish? :D
We eat it all the time - as long as the noodles aren't overcooked, then I think it's petty good. (and fast and cheap)
Oh, also I have a stack of these little cookbooks too.
Andrea, I have horrible memories of this dish; it's possible one of my siblings may recall it as being delicious!
Wow, I clicked on that meat loaf recipe to read it and I have to say, I think I'd much prefer your mom's Irish spaghetti! For some reason that actually doesn't sound too bad at all to me. At least when I compare it to the kinds of things I eat during Lent, I guess!
By the way, I like the Modern Priscilla too. I only have one copy of it (1916, I think?) and I know what you mean about it not fitting on the scanner. Very frustrating!
