the fair being about farm stuff - equipment and animals as well as produce , oh and a little home cooking ,

 

Yep.  Sonoma County Fair used to be about the animals,  4H and FFA, Scouts, produce, Home Arts - cooking,  baking, canning- LOTS of canning,  Industrial Arts - welding,  tin smithing, leather work, wood working.  Some Fine Arts.  Of course a Hucksters Hall, and a midway. Oh, and a Hall of Flowers.  Various contests and  horse racing. 

 

Now it's mostly beer and wine, 

vendors, the midway, and rock bands.   Hall of Flowers is a hollow shell because of all the restrictions on plants.  Anything even slightly toxic is prohibited.   So everyone uses the same 20 plants year after year to make something to the theme of the year.

I had posted this to FB 5 years ago:
 

Ham Rangoon?

I was looking at new ways to use Deviled Ham since I had make quite a bit with pieces of the Christmas Ham (and I'll be making more). I used this recipe :

Homemade Deviled Ham Spread

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cubed cooked ham

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons prepared mustard

5 drops hot pepper sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 pinch caraway seeds, or to taste

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

Directions

Place ham, mayonnaise, mustard, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the ingredients to your desired texture; stir in onion and celery. Chill before serving.

I had some with cream cheese on toast and got to thinking (always dangerous), "I have some Shu mai wrappers, I have cream cheese, I have the deviled ham...why not?"

So I mixed a couple of TBS of the deviled ham with an equal amount of cream cheese, put a scant tsp. of the mix into each wrapper, fried 'em up.

Quick, easy, tasty. Next time, though, I think I'll finely dice up some kosher dill pickle to mix in to cut through the heaviness of the mix.

Jan. 1, 1862: A New Year’s Celebration: From Granville Stuart:

“Very Cold in afternoon. Raw east wind. Everybody went to the grand ball given by Johnny Grant at Grantsville and a severe blizzard blew up and raged all night. We danced all night…

The next day he wrote: “Still blowing a gale this morning. Forty below zero and the air filled with driving, drifting snow. No one ventured to even try to go home. Johnny Grant, good hospitable soul, invited everyone to stay until the storm should cease. We accepted his invitation without a dissenting voice. After breakfast we laid down…on buffalo robes that Johnny furnished, all dressed as we were and slept until about two o’clock in the afternoon, when we arose, ate a fine dinner…then resumed dancing which we kept up with unabated pleasure until about nine in the evening, when we paused long enough to eat an excellent supper. We then began where we left off and danced until sunrise.”

On January 3: “The blizzard ceased…Everyone got home without frost bites.”

Just came out of one.  But that's a different book.

Whew, I thought it was going to be one of those math word problems ( a freight train leaves Chicago at 8am cst for New York at 36mph and a freight train leaves New York at 8am est at 50mph at what point will they meet and how far will each have traveled) 🤔...

 

Just thinking about this.  Boys would be a lot more interested and attentive if they were given problems like:

(numbers are random and based on vaguely remembered stuff from  reading Red Storm Rising)

 

Your submarine Is moving at 10 knots 8,000 yards dead astern of an enemy submarine traveling the same direction at 15 knots.  You launch a torpedo that can travel at 30 knots with a range of 25,000 yards or at 50 knots with a range of 20,000 yards.  Can your torpedo reach the target?  If so, how long at each speed?

That must have been scary.

A train leaves Chicago heading east and Farmer Jones can plough 13.7 acres in an hour,  how many pancakes does it take to shingle the roof of a Trident submarine?

[From Back When the County Fair Was a County Fair]

Found on Sonoma County Historical  Society FB page:

 

This is a very early image of cattle being judged at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. The first record of a fair in Santa Rosa was a single-day fair on the Santa Rosa Courthouse Plaza in October of 1855. In 1879, a group purchased 90 acres of the current fairgrounds and built a one-mile track with a grandstand and stalls. This photo appears to have been taken after the racetrack was built, but before automobiles started to replace transportation by horse and buggy so somehwere between 1879 and 1910. (Photo from a private collection.)

Another odd .22 rifle is the Winchester single shot 22automatic. One of these days I will find one and it might follow me home 

 

Thanks!  One thing I hated about the single shot that I used as a little kid was how hard it was for the 5 year old me to pull back that toggle to cock it.  This solves the problem.  Well, so does a "cock on opening" bolt.
