Thurs., November 5, 1936 - Worked like the dickens. Uncle Chris & Gerald were here for supper. We had milk & dumplings, chicken, baked potatoes, string beans, vegetable salad, and graham cracker pie. After supper we played Pinochle -- Uncle Chris & I against the others.
Fri., November 6, 1936 - Howard borrowed $25 at the bank. He bought 9 bu. of oats & 2 sacks cottonseed meal which cost about $10. We went to the party dance at Hoskins with Gerald -- Helen & Dorothea were among those giving it.
Sat., November 7, 1936 - Cold today and snowed some more. Howard cutting wood again. Too cold to go to town tonite.
I must admit I've never heard of cottonseed meal before. I learned it can be used for animal feed or for fertilizer. Grandma skipped several days, but even so, since Grandpa was buying oats, too, I am guessing the cottonseed meal was for feed. But, he did have a garden going as well. Maybe he used it for both.
I think graham cracker pie sounds really good. Seems like the name comes largely from the crust as the pie filling only has crumbs on the top -- at least based on my quick internet search. And can be made with or without meringue.
