Sue's Diner: Potatoes with Marjoram Gravy

The week's recipe for Potatoes with Marjoram Gravy is adapted from the Bohemian-American Cookbook by Marie Rosicky, published by the Automatic Printing Company (www.autoprintomaha.com). 

This recipe is also featured in the BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permament fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

Moreoever, this recipe is also quintessential Victorian. Meaning, some of the ingredients used and the directions for making this dish is vague and non-specific. So have fun!

This recipe is referenced in the novel Bryony. Here is the explanation from the cookbook:

 Although Simons Mansion hosted most of Munsonville’s festivities, the villagers reciprocated one summer with a celebration in honor of John and Bryony Simons, with John providing the entertainment. A torn dress kept Melissa away from the refreshment table, but, except for the cake, we doubt she would have eaten anything from it, anyway. 

That's because Melissa was a very picky eater.

You can try the recipe for Potatoes with Marjorma Gravy on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website. 

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
