Lucille didn't give us the oven temperature, I suppose this was a favorite recipe of hers and she knew how long to bake her graham muffins. Perhaps, she expected other women to know baking temperatures.
Where as that may have been true in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, I am not so sure about today. Until I started taking a closer look at these older recipes, I hadn’t used my kitchen for cooking in quite some years.
We were a fast food family, full of sandwiches, frozen dinners, microwave goodies. Sure we did fresh fruits and vegetables, but to sit down at a supper table….well, I am ashamed to say, we didn’t…until I started to remember how much fun I had as a kid in my mom's kitchen.
