TRENDING – news from other Libraries’ blogs
rue Perth Amboy Evening News trending
“We weren’t speaking to the world. We were speaking to one another. The kind of collectivity that emerged at Douglass – a thriving lesbian community that gave a tremendous amount of cultural vitality and social vitality to the women who were part of it, but also to the world that it went out into. We did remarkable things.” – Kay Turner

 

Margery Somers Foster Center
February 26th is Pistachio Day! At the NJ Digital Newspaper Project office, we thought we’d share a few pistachio related items from the 1921 Perth Amboy Evening News. This ad from advertises chocolate covered pistachio nut “nougotines” along with other treats.

 

New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project

Many of the cookbooks on display in Special Collections and University Archives’ exhibition From Cooking Pot to Melting Pot: New Jersey’s Diverse Foodways contain recipes for Indian pudding. I had never heard of this dish, so I became curious about its history and thought I might even try to make it.
