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)

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.
- ----- end quote -----
So the mission to the Jewish immigrants was a settlement house...
