The older folks in my family always called them lunch pails. ..Maybe because of the coal miners ? Copper miners, Michigan. No date. FULL PICTURE HERE . .
Harry Truman's favorite meatloaf Bess Truman’s Meat Loaf Recipe courtesy of the Library of Congress -1 ½ cup ground beef-1/2 cup ground veal -½ cup pork, ground and mixed at store-1 cup bread crumbs (or oatmeal)-¾ cup of milk-2 eggs-2 tablespoons chili sauce-½ teaspoon Kitchen Bonquet-1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce-salt and pepper to taste-onions, chopped to taste Directions -Combine all ingredients. The best is to work with your hands. -Bake at 350F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours-Several slices of bacon add to flavor if put on top at baking time Notes If you can’t find Kitchen Bonquet, try Maggi or Gravy Master. I suggest adding this glaze on top of the bacon for that extra flavor, equal parts ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Add before baking. The von D’s German Potato Salad -2 lbs. potatoes quartered (any type that hold their shape when boiled)-1 large onion, finely chopped-1 beef stock cube-6 Tbsp. light vinegar-3 strips thick cut bacon, chopped-ground pepper and sea salt, to taste-chives, chopped as garnish Directions -Add beef stock cube to water and bring to a boil-Add potatoes and boil until cooked but not falling apart- While the potatoes boil, fry bacon. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Reserve fat in pan- Peel potatoes while hot (optional)- Add finely chopped onions to bacon grease pan. Sweat - Mix vinegar and sprinkle of salt in a separate bowl. Add to bacon pan and stir (remove from heat)- Pour over potato mixture, stir, and let it sit in a warm place for thirty minutes- Decorate with chives and crispy bacon bits
Sure, I carried a Lunch Box like that classic Black Beauty! It was probably the most efficient and sensible lunch box ever designed, with the separate compartment for the Thermos Bottle and the spring retainer to keep it from falling on your Meat Loaf sandwiches! A classic piece of Americana! Hal
A salad sampler with some old school friends at a local eatery; chicken salad, tuna salad, and fruit salad on lettuce. No crackers because I'm eating low carb. It was good.
5 laps in the Mall first, it's 1-1/2 miles, then a buy 1 get 1 free lunch buffet at Riverside Resort. Impossible to list the entire fare offered, but I took: Fried Liver & Onions, Catfish, Broccoli and Beef, Roast Pork Loin, Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, Potstickers, Meat Lasagna, Salisbury Steak, Coffee, SKIPPED DESSERT! 4000 calories without it.....
