GREAT GREAT AUNT JESSIE'S 1940'S RHUBARB PIE FILLING
This is a clipping from the March 20, 1949 Courier Journal that was in great great Aunt Jessie's recipe scrapbook. It was titled "Mrs. Edds' Rhubarb Pie Filling" and to appreciate the charm and wit of a country housewife from the 40's I am writing the recipe much the same way the original author did (Mrs. Edd). (I think Mrs. Edd had an issue with double dippers too!)

Steps:
- Wash and dry rhubarb (do not peel unless the skin is very tough).
- Cut the stalks into about 1/2 inch pieces.
- Beat the eggs and add sugar and flour which have been mixed together.
- Beat until the three are as one.
- Mix the egg-sugar mixture with the rhubarb and fill the pie shell.
- I like a high, rounding pie even if I do have to put a pan under it in the oven.
- Believe it or not, this is such a good and well-behaved pie that it didn't drip, but I betcha it would have if that pan hadn't been under it.
- To get the shiny countenance on this pie, brush the top with an egg or egg yolk diluted in water or milk when the pie is about halfway through its cooking period.
- If it doesn't get enough make-up with the first painting, brush it again just before it comes out of the oven.
- Where there is pie, there should be cheese.
- We chose this time a soft cheese molded into small balls- one for each serving.
- Then you'd better make a few more since there are always delightful"pigs" who want two scoops of ice cream and two hunks of cheese with pie.
- And it's only right, because these characters always look for the largest piece of pie to go with double the trimmings.

GREAT GREAT AUNT JESSIE'S 1940'S TOMATO SURPRISE SALAD
Great great aunt Jessie copied this one from a paper dated August 18, 1949. It sounds interesting and I may try it on a really hot day when cooking over a stove is not on my top ten "fun things to do" list.

GREAT GREAT AUNT JESSIE'S 1940'S GRILLED ONION HALVES
Another from great great aunt Jessies files. This one is from the Courier Journal, February 20, 1949. It is served with "Braised City Chicken". I actually made this myself and it is very sweet with just a hint of onion essence. Don't be scared off by onions! It is a fantastic side dish!

Steps:
- Peel and parboil onions until just underdone.
- If you like even a milder oniony flavor then bequeathed to them by nature, change the water about twice during their parboiling period (I didn't find this necessary at all).
- Drain, and when cool enough to handle cut in halves.
- Just before they are served, sprinkle sugar very lightly over the cut side.
- Season with salt and pepper and either dot of brush lightly with melted butter.
- Place under broiler until they're nicely browned on top, adding more butter if necessary.
