Welcome to our family cookbook. These are recipes that we have created, adapted or received from friends, but most of all they are recipes that we love. We hope you will love them, too.
       If you have a special recipe that you would like to share, all you need to do is register, which is very simple, and you can add your recipes.
       By the way, Uncle Dave's Husky Treats are the best "Rice Krispie Treats" you have ever had.

Thanks,
Dave Ferguson

       P.S. A note for DIAL-UP users. The recipe pages load mighty slow when you are on dial-up because of the time it takes to generate and load the floating box info. I tested it on my dial-up connection and it wasn't too bad. But if it drives you crazy, go to the Help section to learn how to turn the floating boxes off.

       In 1974, J. Carl Ferguson, Jr. of Kaiser Aluminum, and Hugh Griffiths of Sangamo Electric, put together a cookbook for the annual meeting of the E.E.I. Purchasing and Stores Committee (an electrical products industry group). This cookbook included many recipes of the committee members and their wives - mostly the wives - and was called "Cooking with Carl, Hugh and your Friends". I have tried, as much as possible, to leave the text exactly as written, except where it didn't make sense (and a couple of them still don't make sense, but they're in the cookbook anyway). The women who contributed most of the recipes were middle-class housewives, many of whom were born during the depression and grew up during WWII. Most of them didn't work outside the home; they stayed home to take care of the kids and the house. This was just before the birth of "women's liberation", and many of them were identified by their husband's name: Mrs. John Smith, for example. The nice thing about "Carl and Hugh" is that it does give you a nice idea of what families might have been eating 30 years ago.
       By the way, we haven't tested many of these recipes, so if you find an error, let us know. Some of these recipes are fairly old and ingredients commonly available when they were written may not be so common now. Many of the recipes suggest using "oleo", which is what margarine used to be called, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'
     Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?'
     And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'
[Matthew 25: 34 - 40]
