Ring Tum Diddy and Winkum

Does the title of this blog make your mouth water? 

If not, then you are just too young to remember these recipes!



Now that Autumn has begun, our thoughts may turn to traditional comfort food. A number of interesting recipes can be found in a recent donation to the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room. As you will see you just can't go wrong with bacon, cheese and corn. 

This cookbook was compiled by the ladies of Mountain-View Grange in East Conway. The distinctive architecture of the building can be seen today on Google street view. 




The building is now the East Conway Community Hall. See their facebook page here. 

several nice interesting comments about this cookbook
and past events there

described as 

Quaint little building available for all of your special occasions!

This century old building has hosted many events over the years. Gatherings such as birthday parties, weddings, yard sales, and public suppers have been held at the hall. Each of the these events generates enough revenue to maintain the hall

Map to the Mountains: New Haven to New Hampshire

Image
In 1827, Daniel Wadsworth sent a map and suggested itinerary for a trip to the White Mountains to Thomas Cole that was scheduled to begin 197 years ago today.  Today, that letter is in the Thomas Cole papers at the New York State Library in Albany (Box 3, Folder 7). See the link here .   The letter is written on one piece of paper and folded as was the custom of the time to serve as its own envelope.   Wadsworth sketched a rough map on the back of the letter (click on the images to enlarge them).  The map is outlined in the yellow box below.  Here is a detail of the letter and map with a transcription (click on images to enlarge them).  In a recent blog  here  we followed in the footsteps of Thomas Cole's final trip to the White Mountains in 1839. Thomas Cole is a world famous artist and considered the founder of the Hudson River School of Art. In this blog we will learn more about how he first got to New Hampshire and a little about his...

People Who Can't Tell "Entomology" from "Etymology" Bug Me in Ways I Can't Put Into Words

Image
x For example, this is a bug, an Emerald Ash Borer to be specific. The study of insects is called "Entomology." This bug has a starring role in an exhibit that we at the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room helped with and loaned items for.  Entitled Of Baskets and Borers: The Past, Present, and Future of Indigenous Basketry in the White Mountains , the exhibit runs from June 1 – September 14, 2024.  The exhibition explores the past, present, and future of Indigenous basketry in the White Mountains region. As a museum about a place, their exhibitions seek to present stories about the people, plants, and animals of our region. In this case, they will be exploring the intersection between Indigenous basketry, brown ash trees, and the Emerald Ash Borer. FMI on the exhibit follow this link here . This blog is about insects, but also about words and language. The study of words is called "Etymology."  Most of the items lent by The Conway Public Library's H...
