Sweet to the sweet, and dainty delights,
This chapter presents, and your trial invites
Let's pretend for a moment that Herbert Birch Kingston, the Ohio philanthropist, proposed Sweetest Day in 1922 out of the goodness of his heart. It is possible you know.
- 1922
- Sears and Roebuck begins selling electric refrigerators
- Stephen Poplawski invents the blender (milkshakes, malteds, yum)
- On January 24, 1922 Christian K. Nelson patents something quite sweet, an Eskimo Pie
- Fruit Garden & Home Magazine was founded in 1922. Later to be renamed Better Homes & Gardens Sounds like a good place to publish those "sweet" recipes.
- Belle De Graf published "Mrs. De Graf's Cook Book" in 1922. Although this cook book was funded by a few commercial food companies, it was quite customary. Still is...Speaking about cookbooks, Fannie Farmer also prepared her Rumford Cookbook in 1922
- On the candy front, we had peanut chews making their debut and gummi bears were born, just to mention a couple.
Let's just pretend he started this holiday because he wanted to show those who were feeling lost or forgotten that somewhere someone was thinking of a new idea to make their life a little bit happier if only for a day.
Who comes to eat with you,
Gets many a lump of sweetness too
Why not celebrate sweetness day, or everyday, with this recipe for Maple Fudge from the The Thimble Club Cookbook
Maple Fudge
1 pint maple syrup
1/2 pint cream
Boil until hairs and beat rapidly until it begins to sugar, then put into pan to cool.

Through this wide opened gate,
none came to early,
none returned to late.
Thanks for dropping in...Louise
