Directions:A GRAMMA EVELYN STORY: (As told by her grand daughter Joyce) Gramma was a very quiet and hard working lady, good to all of us grandchildren when we would stay there. I loved when she made the big round breads and used the round, wooden board to put them on when they came out of the old wood stove. She would have just made fresh butter by that time, and there was nothing better! Also, when she made the ones with the fish in the center of the bread, it was really a special treat. (Kalakukko)
I never heard Gramma complain about anything. I loved going with her and grandpa in the old car way out into the woods to pick strawberries and blueberries.
When she got real sick and bed ridden I felt so sorry for her, as she felt guilty that we had to take care of her. What a trooper she was!! |

Notes: This recipe was typed on a 3x5 card, probably by Mom. It's rather sparse in specific directions, but was most likely given, as is, to mom from Evelyn. Mom's rye bread recipe is more specific, slightly different, but a little easier to follow.
