Zane Grey was born today in 1872, and Jerome Kern in 1885. Mr. Grey is one of my dad's childhood favorites, and Dad took us to the Zane Grey museum in Ohio I think it was -- I must check if it still exists...

The luncheon suggestion for today from 365 Luncheon Dishes (from 1902) is Carolina Philpes which I've never heard of; here's their recipe:

"One gill of rice, boiled soft; when cold, rub it with a spoon. Moisten with water a gill of rice flour, and mix it with the rubbed rice. Beat 1 egg, very light, and stir in. Bake on a shallow tin plate, split and butter while hot."
