My father loved creamed codfish in the a.m. but my mom didn’t make it.

My wife is also fond of savory food for breakfast. I don’t share her preference, but it doesn’t disgust me. The article, however, refers to a wedding “breakfast”, and not the usual morning meal.

Too bad space was limited for printing what people could do at home for money in 1919. That would have been interesting.

Whoa, sign me up for breakfast in 1919! I know I’m an aberrant, but I’m not a huge fan of starch with a side of sugar early in the morning. Unfortunately, for some reason it disgusts my husband when I eat curry or lasagna for breakfast. Not as much as it’s going to disgust him when I chow down on creamed fish, olives, and small lettuce sandwiches though- bwa ha ha!

My dear “Ardis” – I would urge you to look higher for increased website traffic. Do be cautious, as an unwise step now, would probably cause you sorrow later. Above all, refuse to meet the person in question.

Oh, and ragtime music is bad.

Some idiot cookbook website employee — or a spamification thereof — wants me to add a widget to Keepa’s front page linking to their online cookbook to improve “MY” traffic, all because they have discovered the phrase “mutton tallow fat” in one of these “her Questions” posts.

Do spammers ever consider how unlikely I am to ever use their sites (even in a case like this one of a cooking site I have actually visited) when they make idiotic pitches like that?

If only I could ask Catherine Hurst what to do …

We’ll give you a similar assignment, Clark — try both interpretations, and report back!

Cold cream like the make-up remover, or cold cream like the stuff from a cow after being refrigerated?

Please give either method a try, and report back with your experience, David B. — and pictures.

So rubbing my elbows in cold cream will make them dimpled? I'd've thought that drinking cream (cold or warm) would be more likely to have that effect.

I sincerely anyone will ever complain about an extra Keepa post!If wrinkles there must be, let them be laugh lines!
