Oh, yeah, re: Settlement Cook Book, i forgot an important part, like 
why it got that name...

(i told you my memory was going, maybe because i'm volunteering at a 
local polling place tomorrow. Have to be there at 6:30 AM and will be 
there until at least 9 PM and that's a LONG day)

Still from http:/www./kosherfest.com
1901
"The Settlement Cook Book" began as a German-Jewish cookbook, created 
by a woman who sought to help the wave of immigrants that swept into 
the United States at the turn of the century. First issued in 1901 as 
a pamphlet containing one hundred German Jewish and 
turn-of-the-century American recipes, it has proved to be one of the 
most successful American cookbooks. Lizzie Black Kander, the daughter 
of German-Jewish pioneer farmers, compiled the "The Settlement Cook 
Book". She was also known as the Jane Adams of Milwaukee for her work 
on behalf of Eastern European immigrants.

- ----- and here's the part i forgot to quote -----

In 1896, Mrs. Kander, then chairman of the Milwaukee Section of the 
National Council of Jewish Women of Philanthropy (NCJW), established 
the Milwaukee Jewish Mission or settlement house in quarters borrowed 
from two synagogues.

So the mission to the Jewish immigrants was a settlement house...
