#cooking yesteryear

[bitter69uk]

I snapped up the cookbook Baking Yesteryear by B Dylan Hollis as soon as it dropped. I've already made his peanut butter bread a few times. Today I attempted his date and walnut bread for the first time. So good! And simple - a very spartan, minimalist (possibly Depression era) recipe.

Hey, you got the B Dylan Hollis cookbook, right? Did you ever end up making stuff from it and if so what was your favorite from the book? I just got it myself and I'm considering what to try first

For personal reasons I haven't really had the time to do much yet, so I've only really tried the bread pancakes so far orz

Y’all I got the coolest cook book as a gift! Baking Yesteryear: by Dylan Hollis

I decided to bake something from it tonight and I went with Page 215 monster cookies except I tweaked my recipe a bit to just use ingredients I already had in my Pantry/Fridge.

Instead of M&Ms I used these White Chocolate Christmas chips, and I had to make my own brown sugar because I was out of the store bought, and I used 1 minute quick oats instead of rolled oats. But I think they turned out really good!

I have acquired the TikTok cookbook

Fun fact I never got to share on stream: Tucker Carlson's most recent book did not make the NYT bestseller list. Do you know what book beat it out? Baking Yesteryear by that tiktok cooking twink.

"Hey guys, I made some cookies for dessert. I hope you like the blumfruit ones, it's a new recipe :)".

Savage hasn't even sat down to eat! He's been cooking all evening and he just brought a batch of tasty cookies! Now, the kitchen can become really warm after using the oven nonstop, and clothes tend to become... rather bothersome.

One would think that Maul, a chest displaying connoisseur wouldn't even bat an eye at the sight of his shirtless brother, but the truth is, up until now he had only seen him wearing his armor! "Where the kriff did his clothes go?", he thinks to himself. Feral, on the other hand is quite familiar with this kind of situation and doesn't even notice. "Thank you for the great meal, Savage ♥" he says politely. He's one lucky zabrak :).

Now, here's the thing. . . . Here's how he actually showed up 🥴 🥴 

go ahead, shame me!! the mischief is done >:)!! Sorry for the lazy backgrounds, I'm kinda dead after working on this, for several reasons.

We were the sort of people who did our grocery shopping like a trade caravan moving from oasis to oasis. You started, perhaps, at Fairway Market in the ’70s, for produce, and then you moved methodically up Broadway from point to point: Bruno’s for fresh pasta, Citarella for meat, Zabar’s for cheese and deli sundries, H&H for bagels, the Korean vegetable market on the corner for staples you might have forgotten to grab at some earlier stop. Then you cooked. Unless it was her busy season (my mother sold real estate when she was not simmering blanquette de veau), we had a fresh cooked meal from scratch every night.

If this sounds unbearably precious, it wasn’t, because the great blessing of my life is that my mother did not let me become a food snob. She was from a small town in middle America, and she did not view this as any great handicap. Nor did she look down on the culinary tradition she inherited from her mother, a “good plain cook” of the miracle-whip-and-white-bread Midwestern persuasion whose pie crust was infallible. We did not mess around with limp chicken breasts and cans of Campbell’s Soup, but I have eaten plenty of Jell-O salad, and liked it. (On summer days, I still occasionally crave shredded carrots and crushed pineapple embedded in orange jello made with ginger ale. Don’t sneer; it is delightful and refreshing.) Apples, bananas and raisins, dripping with Miracle Whip, were served as a salad in my house, and one of my favorite dishes from my grandmother was ground meat and pasta shells in Ragu. I still bake out of the Betty Crocker 1950 cookbook, and have never found a better guide to the classic American layer cake.

maybe instead of telling new tumblr users that likes are useless because there's no algorithm, we should stress:

you and your reblogs are the "algorithm"

if we think of an algorithm less as a jumble of code and more of the method by which content gets put in front of faces, that's what reblogs do. reblogs are what puts content on other user's dashes; if you think something is cool and should be seen, that's how you do it.

people follow you on tumblr because they like your vibe. they look at your posts, tags, comments, and they think, "hey, this person looks like my flavor of unhinged" and decide to follow you, thereby essentially saying that your tastes align and they want to see just what kind of stuff you're into.

they are incorporating YOU into their algorithm. they are WAITING for you to reblog 47 homestuck posts, 84 xfiles gifsets, a handful of kittens dubbed with swearing, maybe some hole (because it might be banned but it ain't gone), that tiktok yesteryear cooking twink, and a multipage essay on the economics of the discworld.

if you want to be a good little algorithm (and you do, because then mommy will collar you and give you pets), then you have to reblog. this site doesn't spoon-feed you content like the facebagram or whatever. it's a little more work. and that work is the tax we pay for NOT being facebagram.

Okay, I'm playing off of @petes-5yr-cocoa 's headcannon that Max cooks

Max definitely watches YSAC. The first thing he made on a stove was a chopped salami grilled cheese, and the first thing he baked in an oven was bacon.

The first baked good he made, however, was Valentines Day Brownies, which he made when his father was out trolling bars for women. He ate the entire tray before his father got back the next day.

Before baking, he mostly just stuck with the No Heat and the Snacks and Dips recipes. He's definitely made all of the drinks, and showed off his shaky knowledge of cocktails at a party.

He's most definitely gotten the songs stuck in his head, but especially The French Fry Rap. The Egg Series made him genuinely emotional, and Better McMuffins scared him.

He forgets the name for a spatula (the scoopy/scrapey ones used for flipping) and calls them a wangjangler without even realising there's another name for them. Very confusing for his friends the first few times it happens.

He definately made some modified ramen for his first home date with Richie (or, yknow, a 'thanks for tutoring me' meal). I'd say that he kinda combined the egg ramen and steak & spinach ramen.

One of the first gifts Richie got him was the YSAC cook book, which Max responded very excited and enthusiastically to, even though most of his friends were confused when he yelled about how much he loved the gift Richie got him, since they didn't really know too much about his cooking.

Richie also turned him onto B. Dylan Hollis, whom he doesn't like as much as ysac (the deadpan comedy is something he really likes with ysac, says it's the perfect type of comedy for cooking) but he definitely like the more bite sized content with Hollis, and he finds the old recipes weird.

(Max got Richie Baking Yesteryear)

Baking Yesteryear Pt 1

Time to unleash my new B Dylan Hollis cookbook and test some of his tried and tested vintage recipes out for myself

Since I already had some in the cupboard I decided to go with the first recipe in the book and make Pecan Dainties

I immediately realised that the book doesn’t list gas mark temperatures, only celsius and farenheit, so went online to double check the temperature conversion.

I still managed to slightly over-toast my pecans, but that’s because I didn’t hear the timer go off not because I got the temperature wrong. However, apart from a scattered few that’d overstepped the mark between well toasted and slightly burned (that I just picked out and ate) it was no big deal

Once the ingredients are combined it does make an unfortunately chunky-poop looking mixture. You’ll be glad to know I skipped taking a photo of that stage

Plopped (no pun intended) onto a baking tray and remembering to take the timer with me this time, I soon had a tray filled with light, nutty, sweetness in a variety of none too neat and rather randomly sized blobs (because this isn’t a cooking show and I couldn’t be bothered to be neater)

Satisfyingly crunchy and absolutely delicious, but not for anyone watching their sugar intake. 

Will absolutely make these again, but probably put a bit more effort into their appearance, starting by chopping the nuts a bit finer next time

The “where did Yan Dooku come from” discussion got me remembering a few things from the Fandom of Yesteryear, so to date and humiliate myself, I thought I’d compile a couple funny remembrances from growing up in the era when the prequels were actively coming out. Some of these are probably widely known, but I thought I'd contribute my thoughts to fandom archeology for the sake of knowledge, of course.

For some reason, “who the fuck did Yoda even train??” was a huge, divisive question early in the prequel fandom. Everyone expected it to be Obi-Wan because of the “Jedi Master who instructed me” line in the OT. Then they introduced Qui-Gon. Okay, so Yoda probably trained Qui-Gon. Then they introduced Dooku. OKAY SO YODA PROBABLY TRAINED DOOKU. He calls him his Padawan ON SCREEN.  THEN THEY INTRODUCED FUCKING THAME CERULIAN.  Eventually it does all get sorted out - Yoda DID train Dooku in the official Padawan sense, and Thame’s role as “historian weirdo who trained Dooku sometimes” got cannibalized into Lene Kostana in the new canon.

Ahead of AotC, there was a lot of confusion about who would be the villain because Maul was ostensibly dead and Vader wasn’t fully cooked yet. There were rumors that the baddie in Episode II would be a hot evil lady Sith (I believe this was from some concept art that was floating around, which actually ultimately became Asajj!) Imagine our collective bisexual disappointment when we got Grandpa War Crimes instead?! Thankfully, we managed to get horny and weird about him too.

The ending for TPM was ruined for me before I saw the film because I read some sort of Padme’s journal book for children that was pre-released ahead of the film at a school book fair. I didn’t even BUY the book, I wasn’t a kid with book fair money! I read the thing standing, desperately, in the 25 minute period we were given to shop the fair while the people selling them glared at me! The hilarious thing was I’ve heard other people in the fandom mention this exact thing happening to them as kids with the exact same book. Why?! Why would they release a book like that?! This was one of the dangers of living back then. You’d be so stoked to go see TPM but your mom wouldn’t take you Because of Christianity and then you find out the character you’ve already spiritually bonded with fucking eats shit in the last scene and have to go cry in the bathroom at school??? THIS WAS MY LIFE.

Frau Perchta

Etymologically, her name means 'bright one'. Or, perhaps, instead it means 'hidden or covered'. Both suit her, this winter figure of myth and folklore, haunting the shadows and stories in the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany.

Recently, there's been an upsurge in interest about beings like Krampus and the Mari Lwyd, figures that had, until recently for many of us, disappeared into Santa's shadow over the generations. So, given the time of year we're in, I thought I'd shine a bit of light on some of these older stories of yesteryear.

Perchta, or Berchta, is a female figure that haunted the Alpine regions of Europe. She has been likened to Frigg or Holda, possibly stemming from the same Ur archetype and, like them, has mutated and grown cloudy from her origins over time as Christianity and changing cultures adapted her. Perchta, according to, yes that Jacob Grimm, was both the guardian of animals and the overseer of domestic spinning.

Yeah, I don't equate the two either, which is what I meant by 'things get cloudy' the further away from whatever her original, unknown idea might have been.

Anyway, Perchta was a winter creature of myth and so, like so many of them, had a dual nature. She could take the form of a beautiful woman, tall, elegantly robed and as white as the snow - or she could take the form of a doubled over, withered hag, with darkly twinkling eyes, dressed in rags, sometimes even going so far as to have an iron nose. And, like her two forms, Perchta could either be generous or viscous, depending on what she found when she visited houses during the traditional time between Christ's birth and the visit of the Magi. Her day was the Feast of Epiphany, hence the shining or brightness associated with both her name and the star of Bethlehem that guided the Magi.

Perchta was, in some forms, a goddess of the household, a visiting deity checking to make sure the people were living up to societal standards. If, when she visited in the night, Perchta found a clean house and all the season's flax or wool already spun into thread and ready for the loom that would go up Epiphany day, she would leave silver behind, in shoes or buckets, as a reward for hard work. If however she found the women of the household with still unspun thread or a messy house, she would earn her nickname 'the Belly-Slitter' by taking her long knife, slicing the offenders' stomachs open and removing all their organs, replacing them with straw, garbage and rocks.

Remember, kids, don't leave dirty dishes in the sink between Christmas and January 6th.

Speaking of kids, like Krampus, Perchta could tell when children had been bad and seemed to have a particular penchant for lying ones. They too would end up stuffed with farmyard detritus.

In the duality of her nature however, Perchta was also said to be the guardian of the souls of children that had died before they'd been baptized, keeping them close to her and comforted.

She also, apparently, took them with her when she led the Wild Hunt, another pastime she was known to have. The crashing sounds of thunder in the mountains and the wild storms heard late at night, especially if they occurred on the Berchtl or Knocking nights, the three Thursdays between Christmas and Epiphany? That was Perchta and her followers, known as the Perchten, riding wild across the sky.

In hag or maiden form, there was one way to spot Perchta for sure. One of her feet was wide-spread and flat, either because it was the foot of a swan (or goose) signifying her ability to shapeshift as well as her role as animal guardian or else because it was a treadle foot, grown so large and flat thanks to all her time spent at the spinning wheel.

If you wanted to appease Perchta, beyond finishing your spinning in a timely manner and keeping your house, and children, clean, you left out a bowl of porridge made with fish, on the Twelfth Night for her and her followers. If she liked your cooking, you had an upcoming year of prosperity ahead of you.

In fact, in certain towns in Austria, you can find Perchta masks in use during winter festivities today. These masks, often made of wood, come in two varieties. The Schönperchten, the 'beautiful Perchten' masks are supposed to call in financial prosperity and the Schiachperchten, the 'ugly Perchten' masks, are to drive away evil spirits.

Santa, and Krampus, may have Christmas day, but the twelve that come after it belong to Perchta.

On a possibly unrelated but still very interesting to me note, there's apparently a video game called Hunt: Showdown that features a Frau Perchta. tw: for video game blood and violence
