Carla Kelly

I sent the 2011 version of Beef Cecils to Carla Kelly yesterday.  She answered right back.  She really liked it.  She told me about her travel schedule and that she will be at the Deseret Book in East Bay on Saturday.  She also likes Bay Rum and keeps some around, because even some women like to wear it.  I had also told her I was looking for some of the other Julia Darling/Fannie Farmer foods from the book in my 1972 edition of Fanny Farmer Boston Cooking School Cookbook.  It was because of a comment that April Kochenower made about the other dishes.  I have found Snow Cake, green bean salad, Connecticutt Chowder, Queen Cake with Ornamental Frosting, Duchess Potatoes, Onion Juice (how to do it), but no warm liver salad or oyster blanket yet.  I have a couple of other places to look.  So there.  If anyone wants to know any of these, let me know and I'll copy them off.  I'll also forward the email I sent to Carla for a much better version of the 2011 Beef Cecils.  I did a better job when I typed it up for Carla--much more clear.     Lella
