Archives Recipe of the Month-The Banquet Edition
I've always been a fan of the church suppers, it's always amazing how these dinners are pulled off so seamlessly. As it turns out though, putting on a church supper is no easy feat and it was no different in 1926. The following documents, which are from the United...
The children all gathered round papa while he read the letter
