Phoenix's 1942 Era of Debauchery and Vice

Imagine Phoenix in 1942. It was a time when the city manager, magistrate and police chief were taking payoffs from pimps and Phoenix was considered a wide-open western town full of vice and violence. Find out how attorney Frank Snell brought 75 business leaders together and worked with the mayor and city commissions to create change. Dr. Jack August tells the story at the October 3 Historical League meeting. RSVP NinaFilippi@aol.com

Save the Date for Esteban

A Holiday Concert with legendary Spanish guitarist Esteban is coming to AZ Heritage Center at Papago Park. Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 10, 2016 from 5-9 pm. Esteban look-a-likes impressed us at the September 12 Historical League meeting. A video showing Esteban and his daughter, Teresa Joy and band members performing got us even more excited about the event.  Featuring tapas from The Dancing Chef, drinks (sangria, wine, beer) and wonderful raffle items, the evening looks to be very entertaining.
Tickets available at brownpapertickets.com

Tribute Opportunity in Volume II of Tastes & Treasures Cookbook

The award winning Tastes & Treasures cookbook was first published by the Historical League in 2006 and has been a wonderful success for the organization.  We are proud to announce that the second volume of recipes will be published in 2017. All proceeds will once again go towards the League's mission to support the Arizona Historical Society and the AZ Heritage Center at Papago Park in Tempe, Arizona (formerly the Arizona Historical Society Museum). We invite you to join us so we may recognize your support for the next 10 years.

Several people can get together to form a group to create a Tribute Page in honor of a special someone. The cost of a Tribute Page in the Cherished Legacy Recipe chapter of the cookbook is $500.

Tribute Page to Sedona Schnebly in Cherished Legacy Recipes
Sponsored by Lisa Schnebly-Heidinger

My great-grandmother, Sedona Schnebly, was famous for her cooking: one early visitor wrote of a Thanksgiving dinner that included turkey, beef, duck and pork, as well as a squash hollowed out and used to serve cooked cabbage.  She was a practical cook who rarely measured, but she wrote down her quick and simple apple pie dessert that her family loved.  (This photo shows her with her husband T.C. and my grandpa Ellsworth, in Sedona in about 1904.)

Sedona’s Apple Pie Dessert
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup white sugar
½ cup flour
2 cups tart apples, diced
½ cup chopped nuts

Directions:

Mix all ingredients well.  Put in a buttered pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Serve with cream or homemade vanilla ice cream.

Cookbook storage at Museum

New cookbook storage at the museum is perfect although somewhat chilly if the freezer door is open nearby.
Interesting that the walk-in freezer stores old film that needs to be kept cold. Archivist Linda Whitaker explained why this freezer is so important using words like storage of "explosive vulnerable film" and "vintage movie film negatives" and "nitrate negatives." After Linda's explanation and looking up nitrate negatives on Wikipedia, the freezer makes a lot of sense!
Thanks to Linda for creating this space for Tastes & Treasures, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona.

Ruth McLeod felt the chilling effects of the walk-in freezer.
