Rhubarb Dessert
1½ c. rhubarb
1 c. sugar
1 egg
2 T. flour
Batter
1 c. flour
½ c. milk
Pinch of salt
2 T. butter
1 heaping t. baking powder
Wash rhubarb and cut into pieces. Mixed together sugar, egg and flour. Add to rhubarb and put in a baking dish. Then make a batter of the flour, milk, salt, butter and baking powder. Put this batter on top of rhubarb mixture and bake until done. Serve with cream, either plain or whipped. This dish can be made with apples, too, if you don't have any rhubarb.

American Cornstarch Pudding
½ c. sugar
3 T. cornstarch
¼ t. salt
2 c. milk
1½ t. vanilla
Mix it all in the saucepan except for the milk and vanilla. Put on the fire and slowly add the milk while stirring constantly until thick enough. Add vanilla. Serves four people. (In later years, Jackie Kennedy served this at a state dinner, but then it was called “Blanc Mange.” Would the guests have eaten it otherwise?)
1936: The Boulder Dam (later called the Hoover Dam) was completed.
