Recipe for Pig's Feet Souse from The People's Home Recipe Book by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk 1915

After scraping, cleaning, washing and singeing the feet, put them into a kettle with plenty of water.  Boil and skim, then pour off the water and add fresh and boil until the bones may be pulled out easily; do not bone, but pack in a stone jar with salt and pepper between each layer; cover with cider vinegar.  When wanted for use, put in a hot skillet and add more pepper; salt and vinegar if needed.  Boil until thoroughly heated, stir in a smooth thickening of flour and water, and boil until flour is cooked.  Serve hot as a breakfast dish.  Or, when they have boiled until tender, take out the bones and pack in a jar as above.  Slice cold when wanted.

The Coffee Shop / Favorite Sound
July 22, 2007, 09:20:50 PM
Around noon yesterday, my computer decided it needed a break.  Nothing I did would correct the problem.  After stressing for several hours, I called the cable company.  They could do nothing because the modem was not responding. 
Scheduled an appointment for 1:00 - 3:00 today.  My future grandson-in-law called this morning and walked me through the problem.  These were things I had already tried but with his assistant it worked.  i am on line again. 

My favorite sound must be his voice on the phone or the sound of the computer connecting. 
Amazing how much we depend on the computer.  I even had to get the phonebook out yesterday.

 Elk Country Paper, January 31, 1991     

"Elk Falls Bridge To Be Nominated As Historic Site"

  "The Elk Falls Bridge is going to be nominated by the Kansas State Historical Society for selection to the National Register, according to Barry McGuire, coordinator of the Friends of Elk Falls Association."

  'McGuire said that the Kansas State Historical Society had informed him of this decision by letter."

  "McGuire further outlines characteristics of the bridge which merits its consideration for National Register selection."

  "The bridge was constructed by the George E. King Bridge Company of Des Moines, Iowa, which was awarded the contract by the Elk County Commissioners on Nov. 15, 1892, as a result of its low bid.  This contract stipulated a completion date of July 1, 1893, with a construction cost of $2,000," McGuire said."

  "Known as a "Pratt Truss Bridge,' this design was patented in 1844 by Thomas and Caleb Pratt.  In this design diagonals were placed in tension and vertical members in compression with the exception of the hip verticals. "It is reported that the bridge may be unique for its type since its expansion joints are roller rather than wheels," McGuire said."

  "Although the bridge has been closed to vehicles, it has been open to pedestrian traffic for several years."
 
  "The beauty of the site enhances the preservation value of the bridge since it crosses high over the scenic Elk River gorge and also provides a tremendous view of the waterfall for which the city of Elk Falls was named."

  "A historic nineteenth century gristmill was located here.  A full color photograph of the falls appears in the Kansas Attraction Guide published by the (State) Department of Tourism," McGuire said."

  "McGuire added that both the falls and brdige are becoming increasingly popular tourist attractions which had a dramatic rise of visitors in 1990."

  "This trend is expected to continue as promotional efforts for other Elk Falls attractions proceed.  The bridge is one of only five bridges listed in the index of the new book, "Kansas Weeked Guide", which is fast becoming a popular best seller throughout the state," McGuire said."

  "Nomination of the bridge to the National Register is a high honor and if approved, the Friends of Elk Falls Association hopes to raise funds to acquire replicas of the ornate name and date plates which were originally at each end of the bridge. "Natives of Elk County feel a special affinity for this venerable bridge since it was part of the lives of their parents and grandparents." McGuire said.
"Newcomers to the area are quick to adopt it as their own.  The first-time visitor is apt to exclaim , "I had no idea this beautiful place existed."

  "McGuire added that John Collins, brother of Rebeka Eck of Elk Falls, who is a machinist in Colorado has volunteered to contribute enough brass to make the replica plates."

  "The state publication, Kansas Preservation, notes that, "It is of value to preserve a cross section of the bridge types built in the state both for the benefit of future researchers but also to maintain that link with the past for ouselves."
