The Ladies Auxiliary, that is. Our favorite sources for vintage recipes have tons to share when it comes to an all-American side dish perfect for the Fourth. Are you planning your cookouts? Get some inspiration from sisterhoods of the past, right here.
VINTAGE RECIPES HAVE long been a fascination of ours on The Sister Project. (Remember our foray into potato salads past? Or the ladies auxiliary chronicles?) The recipe box, after all, is one of the ways women have stayed connected across generational boundaries. Now Sister Anastasia’s looking at old recipes once again, inspired by a recent cuilinary adventure from writer Wency Leung. Get the scoop.
By Marion Roach SmithA KITCHEN RENOVATION can go only one of two ways: either to transcendent awareness or to divorce court. And our renovation was not elective. Not a bit. Ours was thrust upon us by severe acute water damage, and suddenly I found myself saying the one thing you do not ever want to say in your own kitchen.
IN HER NEW INSTALLMENT on “The Sisterhood of the Dog,” Marion discovers that she is not alone. There are many pet owners that do as she does. But do you do?
THIS IS IT, dear sisters, says TSP’S Paige. It’s now or never. Do or die. What’s so urgent? You have to sign up this week in order to participate in our first-ever Sister Project Cookbook Swap. Join us, and you’ll clean off a space on your own bookshelf just in time to receive a surprise cookbook from another TSP reader/cook. But wait, Ginsu Knife fans! That’s not all: Get the whole deal from Paige.
SNOW DAYS AND CABIN FEVER have set in at Sister Paige’s house. Instead of feeling trapped, she’s cleaning, and what has surfaced were some cookbooks she’d like to hand down. Don’t you have a perfectly good cookbook you never use? One that you could give away as a surprise to some new friend? Wouldn’t it be great if another new friend sent you a surprise cookbook that she’s no longer using? Join in our cookbook swap.
IT’S THAT TIME again: Slow-cooker season is officially open, says Sister Paige, who’s looking for any way to juggle all the family chores into just 24 hours a day (sounds familiar?). She kicks it off this year with a chili non carne. Get the story, and the recipe.
IN THE GALLERIES: The papercuts of ELSA MORA.
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia
is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there. 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
