Reasons I love my Scandinavian Hertigage

My mom spent the last couple days going through some of my grandparents stuff and she brought her recipes back. Here is one of my childhood favorites:

Cream and Sugar Lettuce Salad:
1 head butter lettuce
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons white cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar.

Break lettuce leaves into salad bowl. Stir together thoroughly cream, vinegar, and sugar. Pour cream dressing over lettuce and toss gently. Makes 4 servings.



The Braised Stuffed Heart isn't a favorite of mine. It starts with "Wash heart, trim away hard parts and any outer membrane". Yuck!

The "outer membrane" is the pericardium. It's tough and has an unpleasant texture. Just imagine if they'd left it in!

I think I remember helping remove that at times. I also remember plucking chickens and making head cheese. Seriously, I wish I could forget some of these things because everyone knows meat grows on trees.
