Hello all! I’ve been focusing on trying not to melt. It’s been sooooo stinkin’ hot here. I haven’t even turned the oven on in 4 days. My family was starting to revolt so I figured I’d make more than one thing since the oven was on anyway. So, we had dinner and I made some dessert too. Score!
This week we travel to good ol’ Dickinson, North Dakota. Have I ever been there? Nope. I picked up this cookbook in Conway, AR at a thrift store. Whooop! Maybe someday I’ll get out west. There’s a lot out that way that I’d like to see. It’s just that..well, the beach isn’t that way…unless I drive super far!
I digress, Dickinson, ND. Dickinson was founded by a New Yorker named W. S. Dickinson in 1881. In just one short year, there were 100 buildings in Dickinson. Growth was helped out immensely by the railroad.
I had no idea, but a HUGE population of folks from the Ukraine settled there. They even have a Ukrainian Cultural Institute there. I’d love to see that!
On the total opposite end of the tourist spectrum is the Dickinson Dinosaur Museum. I know a little boy that would probably trade some Pokémon cards to get into that museum.
Now I read down the list of notable people from Dickinson and I only recognized one name and it was the actor who played Emmett Cullen from the Twilight movies 😬. Maybe some of you sports freaks will find their list more interesting.
On to the recipe!
This is a pretty big cookbook. I didn’t get too far at all thru, “ A Harvest Of Recipes: St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church Dickinson, North Dakota” and stumbled across Festive Lemon Bread. Puddin in bread?! Let’s do it!
Couple things:
- Salad oil = Vegetable oil
- I thought 1/4 cup of poppy seeds was too much. Turns out that it was a fine amount.
Perfect! Y’all enjoy!!
