the mystery chef

A summer's morn was yesterday spent making honey buns for busy bees...
And in these closing days of summer I relished in the discovery of some well-used recipes of old, tucked away in the pages of this 1935 publication by a certain "Mystery Chef."
Baked corn and chocolate cake must've been on the menu one eve...

And this precious notebook's pages were yellowed but blank, surprisingly, thus leading me to deem myself the Clabber Girl...
The sun still broils the blades of green, and I pause to think of the weeks that have past. I imagine the original owner of these objects, and am inspired by her pristine hand-writing and diligent scrap-saving, as the rest of my noon is spent on the lawn, dreaming about the days of old.
