Hello Dona,
This is apparently the actual Outback recipe. I do not see any bacon listed.
The noodles are fried angel hair pasta.

Hi Jean,
The song is "Close As Pages in a Book". The lyrics are below. It's on a CD by
Barbara Cook which is for sale at Amazon. You can hear an excerpt of the song here:
Barbara Cook
However, Jean, your date of the 1920s does not jibe with the facts about this song.
The song was written in 1945 for a Broadway musical called "Up in Central Park" - Music
by Sigmund Romberg and lyrics by the great lyricist Dorothy Fields. So, it must have
been your mother's favorite song in the 1940s instead of the 1920s. Several bands
recorded it in the 1940s, including Benny Goodman. Bing Crosby's recording of
"Close as Pages in a Book" was done with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra in 1945.

Close as Pages in a Book
(Lyrics by Dorothy Fields)
We'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close, we can share a single look
Share every sigh
So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes grow misty too
Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part
Amish Sweet Dill Pickles

1 quart vinegar
1 pint water
1/2 cup salt
4 cups sugar
Bring to a boil (the above mixture) and pour over the jared cukes to
1/4 head space. Set jars in boiling water and bring to a boil, just
long enough to seal.

Hello Suzanne,
This is the only thing that I can find like that.
Phaed
"Montecado"
2 1/3 cups melted shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce anise extract
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
72 blanched almonds
1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F(120 degrees C).
2 Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon together. Add the melted
shortening until all is mixed in well. Stir in the anise and
knead for 5 minutes. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on an
ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Place a blanched almond
on top of each cookie and push down slightly.
3 Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 30 minutes. You do
not want to brown the cookies. They should remain pale. Let
cookies cool on cookie sheet for 30 minutes.
