Jolly Roger-and All That Jazz. The Golden Age of Piracy may also have been the Golden Age of Gourmet. Consider: pirates had to be creative. Their home and hearth were wherever the four winds blew them. They constantly faced a new assortment of exotic foods and spices to explore and experiment with.

Traversing Iowa, I learned to love the spider-webbed fences, the maze of twined-up beans, the adorable scarecrows. But most of all, I loved the silos. I didn't really even know what a silo was for, but the first time I spied a nice silver one with a red-and-white beanie cap, I was hooked on the silo as icon for all things farm, fresh, delicious and healthy. While the propellered-windmills held a close second, it was the silos that had my heart. Whether glistening in the rising sun, brooding in the shade of day, or standing silent sentinel in the full moon, the silo, to me, was the silent representation of the Good Life.

Yes, the food of the past was not always so healthy, but it surely was delicious. My mother was more of an "open a can" kind of cook. This made me uber-appreciate my grandmother's good, old-fashioned, down home, from scratch cooking. Just the sound of her pound cake batter whirring in the mixer made my mouth water. The scent of cocoa and confectioner's sugar as she made chocolate frosting actually caused me to drool. So without further ado, falderol, or fiddle-dee-dee, here are some authentic vintage recipes, lore, and more. Don't just read, cook, smell, taste, enjoy. Vintage is going to be around for a very long time. Cook some. Eat a lot. Don't forget the nap afterwards.
