This is another article from the 1877 book "The Peoples' Library".
I thought that it would probably be interesting to many in this group.

"A Domestic Recipe"
A father, who had passed innumerable sleepless nights, has
immortalized himself by discovering a method of keeping babies quiet.
The modus operandi is as follows: As soon as the squaller awakes, set
it up, propped by a pillow, if it cannot sit alone, and smear its
fingers with thick molasses; Then put half a dozen feathers into its
hands, and it will sit and pick the feathers from one hand to the
other until it drops asleep. As soon as it wakes again, more molasses
and more feathers; and in place of the nerve astounding yells, there
will be silence and enjoyment unspeakable.

Yes, it was, wasn't it? Michael, you know I don't abide children. BTW,
how much of the gin and vodka did your niece and cat drink? That might
account for their nestling with you. :-)

LOL! That's priceless, and such a coincidence considering the old 'recipe
and useful things to know' book I took a look at last night (and just posted
about) contains verrry similar little 'gems of wisdom heheh!

Thanks for the lead-in, Michael!

:-)

Sometimes the little ones cry because they are teething. Take a glass,
add two fingers of good whiskey. Dip your finger in and apply to
painful gums. Then, drink the whiskey. You'll feel a lot better!

:-)

(Didn't you forget the vermouth?)

Sometimes they cry for other reasons. Since they can't talk, it's hard
to figure out why. My younger son was very unhappy. The pediatrician
told my wife to stop drinking milk. That didn't make her happy, but she
tried it. He stopped crying! He was breast fed, and something was
coming across that bothered him. He eventually lost that problem, and
now drinks unbelievable quantities of milk.

The hashbrowns might not have been disgusting if you cooked them
rather than eating them frozen...

Actually one can get decent-to-good results with frozen hashbrowns,
but they do require practice. I've had the most success by always
covering the skillet I cook 'em in.

I like to run skin-on potatoes through the mandoline into rounds, then
fry them in leftover bacon grease. Yum!

Uh, you guys might seriously consider changing the subject line at this
point? ;-)

I've done that with sliced potatoes, and sliced rounds, cut lengthwise,
then coated lightly in oil and sprinkled with salt and various
seasonings, spices or herbs are wonderful baked on a cookie sheet!

Superior to freedom fries IMHO.

That's one of the many joys of RFC - you just never know eggsackly

Actually, they say I discipline her *too* much now. Whatever.
Right now el is "mopping" the kitchen floor with water. I figure it will
loosen all the crud off the floor so when I actually scrub it later
today, it will be easier to clean.

Oh, Pandora, we are two of a kind, peas and carrots are we. If a kid

Heh. Whenever my 3 year old is behaving in a particularly bratty
fashion, my husband and I tell her in detail how we'll make soup out of
her. Giggles ensue. (Especially when she objects to the possibility of
being cooked with onions. anything but onions. :> )

She just asked me what I was "typing about" and I told her. She asked me
if you guys like to "kill pigs and eat them" too. I think I am going to
get plenty of calls from the other kids' parents come schooltime.
(There is already one mom at the playground who gives me the evil eye
because Ellie asked her son if he had a penis.)

why, thank you! do you think you could call my in-laws and tell them?

She does have a good sense of humor- though she does have a tendency to
make up nonsensical jokes and then say at the end: "was that a joke? was
it funny?"

Every time I think about chucking it, I read something you've written
and I'm convinced to stay. (How's that for a line of bullshit?)

You know they'll just tell you your daughter needs discipline.
Why go there. (smile)

I really only like kids who are either related to me or are quiet and
not invading my space. There are some rare exceptions to this, but
usually because the kid is exceptionally bright or well behaved.

Then, you'll be thrilled beyond words to know that I'll be a posting
maven come Dec. 1 when I become unemployed. I quit, didn't get fired,
and neither one of us is happy about it. It all started with an LA
Times article and a former client...b*stards.

Taking December off - the whole dang family's coming and I'm going to
do the whole Christmas cookie, hard candy presents, whatever
rigmarole.

I hung it up August 19. No regrets. I'm not just taking some time off,
though. I have no definite plans of ever going back to work. My wife
was very unhappy, to say the least. She's now adjusted. Finding out
just how much they would pay me not to work helped a lot. She's found a
job also, with much protesting.
