Great Great Aunt Jessies 1940s Grilled Onion Halves Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and dry rhubarb (do not peel unless the skin is very tough).
• Cut the stalks into about 1/2 inch pieces.
• Beat the eggs and add sugar and flour which have been mixed together.
• Beat until the three are as one.
• Mix the egg-sugar mixture with the rhubarb and fill the pie shell.
• I like a high, rounding pie even if I do have to put a pan under it in the oven.
• Believe it or not, this is such a good and well-behaved pie that it didn't drip, but I betcha it would have if that pan hadn't been under it.
• To get the shiny countenance on this pie, brush the top with an egg or egg yolk diluted in water or milk when the pie is about halfway through its cooking period.
• If it doesn't get enough make-up with the first painting, brush it again just before it comes out of the oven.
• Where there is pie, there should be cheese.
• We chose this time a soft cheese molded into small balls- one for each serving.
• Then you'd better make a few more since there are always delightful"pigs" who want two scoops of ice cream and two hunks of cheese with pie.
• And it's only right, because these characters always look for the largest piece of pie to go with double the trimmings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Grease a small baking or roasting pan with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Rub the onions with the 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle them all over with salt and pepper.
• Put the onions cut side down in the prepared pan. Roast, undisturbed, until they start to brown, about 20 minutes. Use a spatula to turn them over. Top with the thyme if you like, then return them to the oven for another 15 to 25 minutes, depending on how tender you want them. Check for doneness by sticking a sharp-tipped knife or skewer into the side of one. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Work 1/2 cup butter till creamy, 1 cup brown sugar- cream 1 cup or scant cup granulated sugar.
• Mix well and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
• Sift 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon soda and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter.
• Add to first mixture.
• Then add 1/2 cup broken nut meats.
• Pack in bowl and put in refridgerator to cool slightly- then make out in rolls.
• When very cold, slice and bake in temperature of 400*.
• 8 minutes.
• Aunt Jessie then scribbled"probably 15" to which I have no clue what that is referencing.

Steps:

• Scald, peel and chill tomatoes.
• Carefully scoop out the inside out of the tomatoes.
• Remove the seeds from the pulp and chill all ingredients.
• When ready to serve mix chicken, cucumber, tomato pulp and nuts with the mayo.
