The father's collar keep popping up from the heat, Hattie McDaniel's lace hat keeps drooping over her face and everyone is sitting languidly around the table, unable to eat such a heavy meal. All the while Katherine Hepburn is nervously chattering away as brussels sprouts roll across the table because no one knows what to do with such an exotic vegetable. Great scene!Sisiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187439975974001825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-90909744235003207362009-07-26T17:17:58.066-07:002009-07-26T17:17:58.066-07:00Appalachian Woman: Good grief, that's the ver...Appalachian Woman: Good grief, that's the very same recipe!<br /><br />"From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947"<br /><br />I noticed there weren't any reviews of the recipe on the site, though.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-31259705609715558642009-07-26T08:39:23.296-07:002009-07-26T08:39:23.296-07:00Wow, I wouldn't know where to begin preparing ...Wow, I wouldn't know where to begin preparing those kind of meals.

The men insisted on it. However, ours weren't as fancy as these meals. There were fresh fruits and vegetables, tho.
