MarcM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 An assisted living home near my work place that has been around forever is being torn down. I went looking around through the huge facility and came accross a storage area in which I found a lot of old newspapers. About 8 of them were from The Chicago Tribune, dated 1864 and one 1865. One of the 1864 ones had an announcement from an "A Lincoln" anouncing the moving of his law practice to it's original location. I also found some cool old costume jewlery and an atlas from 1916. My timing was good, because they are tearing the place down on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am thinking, though, that th "A Lincoln" add is not Abraham. He was already in office. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 What kind of shape were the newspapers in, Marc? Our modern day papers disintegrate fairly rapidly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 They are not in great shape, but not completely thrashed, either. I can open them and enjoy the adds as well as read the stories on Civil War battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 iI am jazzed! Oh, I also found a little American flag with 48 stars on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Alaska and Hawaii weren't included at the time. Interesting, however, that they're among the most beautiful places on this great blue ball. Even so, if you've truly got an original 48 star flag . . . It's worth more than both your pockets will ever hold, front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 It is a real 48 star flag. One of them little ones (7" X 11") I am happy because I have been looking for one of these (all be it, not too hard) for some time. This one, which is in great shape, fell right into my lap. Moose? I will take that as a term of endearment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Do you use the wide egg noodles and sour cream/w beef tenderloin cut into strips along-side red onion, mushrooms and cream-of-mushroom soup marinated in apple cider vinegar w/red cooking sherry? I've had success w/that particular recipe . . . though, yours may be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 ooo I've always wanted a good recipe for beef stroganoff... share! Share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 In a deep skillet, brown 1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin that has been cut into strips. Drain juice and sprinkle in some Wondra flour (the stuff you use to thicken gravy)on the meat. Mix it around in the skillet until there is no moisture in the skillet. Now add 1 chopped up brown onion, 1 can of tomato soup, 1 can of beef consume and a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce. Mix it up good, then let it simmer uncovered for 1 hour. After the hour is up, turn off the stove and put a little of the sauce in a bowl. Add 8oz of sour cream to the bowl, stirring in a little more sauce. Do this until the sour cream has warmed. After is is warmed up, add the sour cream to the rest of the sauce and mix it in. If you do not gradually warm the sour cream, it will curdle. You are now done with the sauce. I like to use 1 pound of wide egg noodles to get the right sauce to pasta ratio. Enjoy! (this stuff goes good with broccoli...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
