The New Meadows Inn is a restaurant that still exists in Bath, Maine. I am not sure how you get a pint of flour. Good luck with that.

Update 9/15/11:  I received an email from Rhoda, who is the Granddaughter of the woman who invented this cookie.  She wanted me to know that the New Meadows Inn is now closed.  Also a pint of flour is two cups, which is good to know, in a common sense sort of a way, and when you make the cookies…they get sprinkled with sugar before you bake them.  This has always been one of the most popular recipes that I posted, so it is very nice to have more information on it!  Thanks Rhoda and Grandma Bailey!

Preheat the oven to 375. Grease 2 baking sheets and set aside. In a small bowl, stir togehter the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. In another small bowl stir together your diced ingredients.  On a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough to slightly less than a 1/4″ thickness. With a 2 1/2 inch round cutter or drinking glass, cut the circles of the dough. Place a scant teaspoon of the ricotta mixture and small spoonful of the diced ingredients on the circles. Fold the circles in half and seal the edges by pressing with the tines of a fork. Place the filled calzones on the prepared baking sheets. Prick the tops with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with the milk. If you want you can then sprinkle the tops with Italian Seasoning or Parmesan.  Bake in the 375 oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat your sauce. Remove the calzones from the baking sheets. Serve immediately with the tomato sauce for dipping.
This recipe originally came from Better Homes and Gardens.  I have changed it to suit my evil purposes.

hmm.  “Hunter’s Pudding”.  Like Gentleman’s Relish but less sticky.

Cook fish in boiling water and half of salt for 3 mins.  Drain.  Grind with onion.  Melt fat, add flour.  Mix until smooth paste, add milk and cook slowly 3 mins.  Add fish and seasonings and bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and add one egg at a time stirring vigorously.  Sprinkle corn flakes over the top.  Put in casserole and bake in hot oven.  30 mins.

True story.  On the day that I bought this recipe box my husband and I were driving all over Maine going to different antique stores and yard sales.  After I bought this my husband read me recipe names as I drove to the next stop.  When he came to “Fish Pudding”, I made him repeat it quite a few times.  Fish Pudding.  Let that sink into your brain for a minute.

My husband, being from Cape Cod, swears that this is a well-known New England recipe that many a Grandmother has made.  (not his for the record.)

I think it sounds like a code for a yeast infection.

• 2 T. vinegar
• 1 qt vinegar

Cook until soft, seal while hot.

I just put up 100 pounds of tomatoes today, there is no way I could even think about pickles at this moment.

to 1 qt vinegar add 3 cups white sugar.  1 or 2 cinnamon bark, thimble of cloves put in a bag and take out after theya re done.

cook until soft.  Put in jars.  Use enough vinegar to cook.

Pumpkin is not something I would ever think of pickling.  Pumpkin is something that I never want to think about pickling again.

Cream shortening with sugar.  Add molasses.  Melted chocolate.  Beaten egg and sifted flour with baking powder.  Add nuts and drop mixture from tsp. on greased pan.  Bake ten min 350-375

I would classify these as cookies, not brownies.  But that is me.  They sound tasty whatever they are.
