		<description><![CDATA[Comment: Pears are one of the latest of the tree fruits to ripen, after the worst of summer has broken in most places and the days are becoming very noticeably shorter. The reminder of oncoming winter makes it seem all the more urgent to lay away those items that can be preserved for the cold [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comment: Today a recipe calling for mustard is likely to specify style (country, dijon, plain yellow etc) but will be assumed to be a thick liquid substance. Cookbooks of the 19th century were the reverse: &#8220;mustard&#8221; came as either plain mustard seed or else in pre-ground form known as &#8220;flour of mustard.&#8221; Pre-mixed mustard of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comment: The making of herb-flavored vinegar is neither complicated nor, as we see here, at all a new idea. But this receipt is of interest for another hint about life in the 19th century. Note the phrasing for directions on when to pick the herb: &#8220;..between midsummer and Michaelmas.&#8221; People simply did not think about [...]]]></description>

D., prolific proponent of the &#8220;Hydropathic&#8221; school of medicine and lifestyle of the 19th century. While biographical data on &#8220;Dr.&#8221; Trall is hard to come by&#8211;we have not yet found what the &#8220;R.T.&#8221; stands for, where Trall obtained a medical education [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comment: This is neither an apple-flavored dinner roll nor the sort of sticky cylinder of &#8220;fruit&#8221; paste popular with very young people.  In fact it&#8217;s hard to think of exactly what modern day product, either commercial or homemade, that it does resemble, because the whole technique of boiled puddings and dumplings has gone so completely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comment: No, don&#8217;t start mixing a batch of curry powder. The word &#8220;Indian&#8221; in this case means Indian meal, or as it is known today, cornmeal. Why the exceedingly useful word &#8220;maize&#8221; for the premier grain of the New World did not become universal in the land of its birth is unknown. The word &#8220;corn&#8221; [...]]]></description>

You would not want to engage in your Manuring, for instance, before properly preparing your Soil. This could be messy and also confuse your vegetables.  Just check the sidebar for the category &#8220;Gardening&#8221; and note the numbers assigned to each. [...]]]></description>

One of the more popular results of this project was an item called &#8220;Chicken Pudding &#8211; Old Virginia Way.&#8221; Here&#8217;s the recipe as it appears in the 1875 version of Anna Maria Collins&#8217;   The Great Western [...]]]></description>

BOSTON BAKED BEANS (copied at semi-random from allrecipes.com, author &#8220;ajrhodes3&#8243;)

2 cups navy beans
1/2 pound bacon
1 onion, finely diced
