Someone recently gave me a wonderful collection of four vintage jars (one of which may be 1850's vintage) which this someone had in his garage, getting dusty. Each one is different, all are in beautiful condition, and all are useful!
Little did he know that I love vintage jars. I have several from a very thrilling trip to Oregon where I wandered into an antique shop and happened upon them. They are lovely, their zinc tops lined in white 'war' glass. They sit pretty on the counter filled with different grains (right now quinoa, brown basmati, and amaranth). I have them displayed proudly, and every time I see them I get a little giggly and think to myself how great they are.
And they're just jars!
As thanks for the vintage pretties, I made cream wafers for which I found a recipe from a family who had been making them for forty years. They are delicious, very not-good for you, and so fun to make. I'd share the recipe if you asked me, but for now I'll share a photo.
These are so delicious! These are what I was talking about over xmas. When my stomach is better (I say when, not if :) I want some! :) I'd love the recipe!
