Betty, your server this eveningJune's
Blue Plate Special

 

 

 

The first question asked, was, what would Olde Time Cooking be without a Blue Plate Special?  The term "Blue Plate Special" is believed to have originated when diners served an inexpensive meal on white plates that had a blue band around them.  They were comfort foods that made you feel good.

This month I present a special dinner for the June, the month that's not sure whether it's spring or summer.  So here you are folks, a meal just like Betty used to serve at the corner diner.  Enjoy!

Your Host, Brad
