Miss Plondike, who came to give The Farmer’s Wife magazine readers new ideas in meat selection and cookery, has had a full experience with meat-hungry appetites. Brought up on a 400-acre Wisconsin farm near the Illinois line, she was accustomed to her mother’s generous style of cooking. They butchered much of their own meat, so there was usually a supply of fresh meat along with the canned. Their ice box at home was a huge affair, holding three cakes of ice, and their pantry looked like a grocery store.

The Plondike kitchen was a busy one. Even in high school days, daughter Florence cooked with an experienced hand. “Come summer,” she said, “I walked into the kitchen and mother went out the back door, to her garden, her White Rocks and bronze turkeys. One summer I earned $200 for college, besides clothes money, by serving meals to road workers. The table was set up for twelve all summer and this meant a big breakfast, a packed lunch, and a hearty supper. And,” she added, “to these men, it was meat which made the meal.”
