Jo Stafford was born today in 1918. My dad introduced her songs to me; I like her voice and choice of repertoire.


Today's so-called exotic dish suggestion from the 365 Foreign Dishes, published in 1908, is what they call Polish Poached Eggs, which just sound like poached eggs to me except that you serve them with a white sauce to which a little bit of sugar has been added; they suggest serving them over buttered toast.
