Hi Sandy,
Sorry, I cannot find even a mention of Wayside Inn wheat muffins or a recipe
from a bag of flour from "The Old Grist Mill". The recipe for their corn muffins
is here:
Corn Muffins
And the one for their pumpkin muffins is here:
pumpkin muffins
They have a website here:
Wayside Inn
There's an article about the mill here:
Edible Communities
You can contact Longfellow's Wayside Inn here:
Longfellow's Wayside Inn: Boston Post Road, Sudbury;
978-443-1776 or 800-339-1776;
info@wayside.org.
I'll post this so that perhaps a reader can help.

Hi,
My name is Lori. Last year for passover my mother gave me a copy of a great
recipe for a pie that had a macaroon crust with a strawberry sorbet filling.
It came from a synagogue in Milford CT.
The crust was margarine, macaroons, sugar and am not sure of other ingredients.
It was all mixed together and pushed into a springform pan. It was baked for
8-10 minutes so the crust did not burn. It was filled with the sorbet which I
remember being pareve whipped cream, strawberries, egg whites and am unsure of
other ingredients. It may or may not have had raspberry sauce in it.
It was an amazing desert.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Lori
Hello Lori,

Subject: BBQ sauce recipe question
Phaedrus,
I am looking for a bbq sauce recipe. A real good SMOKY SWEET bbq sauce recipe.
Now, I realize that you may have no way of knowing (unless you have ways of
finding out) but THE sauce recipe I would kill to have is the BBQ sauce recipe
like that of Bodacious BBQ in Monroe Louisiana. This is the sauce I've tried to
make in my 25 years or so of making BBQ sauce. This is a dark, smoky, sweet sauce
that is not too thick not too thin, (pourable) that is just GREAT on ALL types of
"que". I have made hundreds of sauce recipes that I've gotten from BBQ books and
off the web, and a lot of them are good, but none are even close to the sauce made
at Bodacious. I'm talking "Heaven In A Bottle"! If you have or can find, a sauce
recipe that you could send me that you feel may be the best "smoky-sweet bbq sauce,
I would not only be grateful, but I'd invite you over for some really good ribs or
pork butt, I just need a really good sauce to go with it. I can cook, I can produce
some championship quality barbecue, but I have never developed the "trates" that it
takes to make really good, noteworthy bbq sauces. Any help you can send my way is
really going to be helpful.
Thank you for your time and consideration in helping me to find that perfect
bbq sauce recipe. Please contact me, MARK.
Respectfully,
Mark
West Monroe, Louisiana
Hello Mark,
There used to be a place here called "Omar's". Best BBQ plates and ribs
I ever ate until the place burned down & they never rebuilt. They had a smoky,
hearty sauce. Barbecue sauces are different everywhere you go. We have what's
called Memphis-Style BBQ around here. I wouldn't call it smoky-sweet. It's more
tart than sweet.
I had no success at all in finding a recipe that even claimed to be similar to
that of Bodacious Barbecue in Monroe.
I love good barbecue, Mark, but I'm no barbecue sauce expert, so I'm going to
direct you to someone who knows more about it than me:
Derrick at About.com: http://bbq.about.com/
Check out his site, write him with your request, read the posts on his forum, and
post on his forum. There are some real experts on there. That's the best advice I can give.
Phaed
A previously requested recipe.
Morrison's Lemon Chess Pie
Ingredients:
4 1/2 lbs sugar
7 oz cake flour
3 1/2 oz lemon crystals
4 oz powdered milk
pinch salt
2 lbs eggs
3/4 lb melted margarine
3 lbs hot water
Mix the first 5 ingredients together well. Add the eggs a little at a time. Mix well.
Add melted margarine (must be melted) and mix well. Add hot water (must be hot) and
mix well.Fill 5 pie shells. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes. Use whipped cream to
decorate.
====================================================================================
The morrison's lemon chess pie recipe is on target, except it is 5 oz lemon powder and
the powdered milk can be 1 1/2 quarts of whole hot milk and if using powdered milk it is
1 1/2 quarts water.

Subject: Miles Fisher Restaurant, North Broad St., Philadelphia, PA
I am looking for anything about a legend restaurant from the 1930's through
perhaps the 1950's, called "Miles Fisher." They were located on North Broad St.
in Philadelphia, Pa. No restaurant that I have found since then was ever as
good. I waited patiently, with my mother, in a long line in front of the restaurant
every Sunday, and when we got as far as the inside of the door, oogled the diners
close to us to see and salivate over the food set before them. Their fried shrimp
were butterflied, and plump, and coated in the best crust ever. They were also known
for their oyster bar, and their blueberry pie. Except for losing Horn & Hardart, the
people I know were never so sorry to see the demise of this restaurant. Can you find
anything about them? History? Recipes? Thank you. Ina r
Hello Ina,
Well, Ina, there just isn't much information about it on the Internet, certainly no recipes.
There's a menu from Miles Fisher's Restaurant here:
Miles Fishers Restaurant Menu Philadelphia PA 1930s
There's an article about a "Fisher's Restaurant" in Philly here, but I can't tell if
it's the same one because they don't give the address:Fisher's Restaurant
Jovun Bokun, who formerly worked at Fisher's Restaurant, has opened his own restaurant, called
"Jovun's Place", at 2327 E. York St. See:
Jovun's Place
However, Jovun's Place specializes in Eastern European cuisine, so the menu may be quite different from Fisher's.
Ina, your best bet for more information about Miles Fisher's Restaurant on North Broad Street
in Philadelphia is going to be a message board or blog dedicated to Philadephia Memories such
as this one and posting about it:
Philly Memories
