I CAN’T BELIEVE it’s been a year since I first started, like Alice down her rabbit hole, exploring the crazy culinary world of the Ladies Auxiliaries. If you’ve missed out, now’s your chance to see just what’s lurking out there. Join me, won’t you? [click to continue…]

THIS HAS BEEN the winter of flu-filled discontent in my house, and as a result, I’ve had innumerable requests for Jell–O. For a foodie like me, this presents quandaries. [click to continue…]

DOES POTATO SALAD make you stand on your tippy-toes, your head, your…shoulders, and…neck and…um, other places that aren’t meant to be stood upon? We love potato salad, though maybe not quite as much as the unbelievable dancing sisters Aggie, Maggie and Elmira Ross. (Their real names were Vicki, Dixie and Betsy Ross–perfect for an Independence Day salute.) Watch the 1944 clip of the contorting triplets above and you’ll get the connection, we promise! And then, with July 4th fast approaching, join us as we dust off our vintage recipe stash for fresh takes on the ultimate summer barbecue and picnic staple: [click to continue…]

From 'The Betty Betz Teenage Cookbook', 1953

Meatloafs aplenty, from the 'Douglaston Cookbook'

There are so many meatloaf recipes in our ever-growing collection of recipe boxes and “ladies auxiliary” cookbooks we almost don’t know where to begin. But we’ve never let that stop us before.

MY KIDS: The Rock (left) and her brother, The River
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project 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 on our homepage 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.
