(1980 memoirs)
I want to make it clear, that tho Frankie's kitchen was old fashioned, all the work was carried out with utmost cleanliness. The rolled edges of pans were not only scoured, but traced with a toothpick in case a trace of food remained there. A kettle was kept boiling on a low burner to provide water to pour over every dish every time.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
